If any of you went to the True Colors Tour, you heard Cyndi Lauper introduce a video drumming up support for the Matthew Shepard Act, to include GLBT people in the Hate Crimes Act.
She also mentioned post cards to send to your representatives. We couldn’t find them at the Columbia show. Luckily I’m on the HRC e-mail list. So I found out how you can do it online.
PS - I sent mine in on Wednesday, and my girl Senator Barbara Mikulski already replied to my e-mail. Granted it was a form letter, but it was the form letter for this particular issue, and already spoke of her support for 15 years for this issue. Hell yeah!!
By the late 90’s, Kylie’s music career was at it’s lowest. Her previous album, 1997’s ‘Imposssible Princess’, though critically lauded, didn’t set many charts on fire. It was her first album where she wrote all the songs on it, but it’s darker direction and indie rock-tinged singles didn’t sit well with many people. However, her comeback was brewing.
In, 2000, Kylie launched her ‘Light Years’ album with the lead single ‘Spinning Around’. The album was a return to her dance-pop roots, and was a fun & happy album, far from the darker elements of IP. ‘Spinning Around’ (which was co-written by Paula Abdul) was a fun dancepop single, with disco inflections and undeniable grooves. It brought Kylie back to the #1 position in the UK and Australia, as well as a few other countries. Oh and then there’s the video…
The video made Kylie’s bum a household name too. Wearing a pair of gold hotpants she picked up in a vintage store for a few bucks, her ass almost stole the show from our girl. The video opens with a shot of her ass as she’s walking into a club. Her bum became a phenom of J-Lo proportions. As well it should, just look:
So while we’re sitting around waiting on pins and needles for new material, just remember how she knocked it out of the park 7 years ago!!
So I took another quiz thing over at ModFab. This time to see what my blog would be rated, on the scale of the MPAA. Well… I need to start seeing some ID’s because:
Apparently I use naughty words like fucker and sexy. That’s the scale. Either way… it gave me a giggle!
So the new single for Amy Winehouse has just been promo’d, and in addition to the fabulous Al Usher Remix I shared a few weeks ago, there are 2 more great remixes of my favorite track on her ‘Back to Black’ album. Enjoy!!
