When you are procrastinating on shit there is nothing better to do than cruise YouTube for gems, and lo! I found one! It is the glorious, the masterful, the inspirational Planningtorock talking about her live performances and the customised hats she wears when she is doing them. Check it out:
If you ever get the chance to go and see her, I fully recommend it. She is so strange and awesome. She swishes around onstage in voluminous white satin clothes, twitching her hands, her voice with a whine like a Hoover, inhabiting persona after persona, from The Bolton Wanderer to a crazy voodootype who wants to eat her lover's body. She transcends gender - there is no prettiness here - just power and magic. Go to Emusic.com and use up those 25 free downloads you get to snap up her album, Have It All. You won't be disappointed. I mean, unless you are a cunt with terrible music taste. But then you are none of my concern.
