I just realised I've been forgetting to include "Comment of the week" on my weekly updates so here's a catch up
Week 1: Written on YouTube channel by "Your Horoscope: You're a very powerful Magician and Alchemist! Your voice is really going turn into Gold as you mature into a beautiful world renowned Artist. Your Art is going to flourish, being picked up world wide. In the mean time, your going to come up with more brilliant ideas which will open the Key to the Temple of Infinite Infinite Intelligence."
Week 2: Written on "Sunday Morning cover" by nerdy5746 "LINDA HARRISON IS THIS YOU???? WTF
YOU LOOK LIKE FREAKEN WAY WAYYY DIFFERENT ON THE BLACK EYED PEASE MEET ME HA;FWAY VIDEO, DAMN GIRL, YOU ARE A GOOD SINGER, ANDIF YOU EVER GOT IN A CRIME, YOU COULD LIKE SWITCH THE LOOK AND BE OK,"
Week 3: On getting compared to Shirley Manson + Annie Lennox on Facebook. Comment by Original Cyn "But you've got one thing going for you that they don't... looks! Beautiful and talented? DOUBLE THREAT!"
So now that's out the way! This last week has been really varied! From interviews, meetings, website designing and dress fitting I feel sad that not much music has fitted into my week. I really need a bigger team on board so I can just focus on being creative. But hey! I'm not one to complain, it's been an amazing week and I have written a few song ideas and had a band rehearsal etc. Next week I'm heading off to Beach Break for a full week of music, so thanks again to you guys for helping me get the gig! Just a quick note, you can sign up to be a tester on my new website, literally all it means is you get to see the website before everybody else and give some feedback, no technical knowledge required, go to www.lindaharrisonmusic.com for more info.
Here's some photos of the dresses- a work in progress:
This skirt, is basically an imitation of this Vivienne Westwood number - worn by Kate Moss. It's practically the width of my piano. I wish I had those shoes to match! I can't remember who makes those shoes, but I noticed Lady GaGa wearing a white pair in the new Alejandro video. I might include a bit more of this stuff on the new fashion blog *coming soon*
We've also been working on this dress
It's actually changed a little bit since then, it's much lower cut and the ribbons gone and it's a bit shorter! But the inspiration for this was from one of Jeremy Scott's catwalks, check this
Cool huh?
Anyway, as I said, I'll put more of this kind of stuff on the fashion blog once it's launched!
Music find of the week: ...so this is maybe a bit embarrassing. I'm 19, and have only really just found The Velvet Underground and Black Sabbath. I had heard of them before and new a few songs, but I guess I just hadn't listened in depth. But I'm guessing that there'll be a fair few of you younger people that haven't checked them out, so if you've got Spotify, go have a listen because they're incredible.
This weeks LiveStream:
Video find of the week - I actually saw this back in February...but I don't think I'd shared it. I actually met these guys, and they are awesome! Go to www.myglorious.com - they are complete legends.
Thanks for all your love this week, I've been getting some really nice messages of late and it's just what I've been needing :) So thank you for all being so kind and taking the time to check me out and spending time sending these things, it really means a lot.
Much love!
Your friend,
Linda xxx
p.s. sorry this is so long! I had no idea till I checked it out on the page! OOPS!
A lot has happened since I last updated. Spent a couple of days in the studio working on "Love Flu" and "Dirty Beat", it's all going well so hopefully you guys will get to hear the results by the end of this month. We then had a gig on Monday @ LIVE NIGHT in The Cavendish Arms (London)..it was an interesting show with everything from MC's to comedians then to us headlining, I got some video footage so mayyyyybe I'll get that edited up for you all, but in the mean time there's some photos below. We then did an industry showcase on Thursday where I got compared to "Shirley Manson" from Garbage and Annie Lennox - not bad! I also made some videos which are right at the bottom of this post.
Set List:
At LIVE NIGHT:
My favourite chocolate bar is a Mars bar...I struggled to find this in the shop...and then struggled even harder to buy it once I realised it had an English flag on it..don't they know I'm Scottish?! hahah
Fashion find of the week:
Topshop posted these, pretty hip I'd say...
Music find of the week: Has to be the Eminem & P!nk collaboration...it's actually not that great a song, but it's Eminem and P!nk so I don't care.
Video find of the week: Ray William Johnson posted potentially his best ever episode,
