So You Think You Can Write

I totally stole that blog title from an email but I thought it kind of appropriate for this post completely pimping myself.

This week, you can find your very own lady of music interviewing Ana Matronic in the Fall issue of Venus Magazine. The full interview should be up on the magazine's site at the end of the week, or you can go buy it on newstands now (cheapskate). We talk about love, life and the new album. Here's a sneak preview:

What was it like coming to New York for the first time?
I was 13 years old, and here finally was the CITY. Gotham City, Metropolis, place of myth and ultimate black-and-white movie musical glamour. I knew from the moment I took my first walk on the Manhattan streets that I would live here one day.

I am always interested to know, to what musicians are listening. So what's on rotation on the bus, on your ipod? And what are some of your favorite new artists?
My iPod is a mishmash, in true Scissor Sisters style. Lately I've been listening to the Silver Apples, a psych-rock band from the 60s, but I've got everything from Talking Heads and Richard Hell to Otis Redding and Nina Simone to Miles Davis and Eric Dolphy. Some of the new children I'm listening to are The Knife (from Sweden), and I know I'm among a great throng of people really digging on Gnarls Barkley.

Also, I recently hooked up with a GREAT online travel guide that tells it like it is called The Citizen Guide. I just finished writing their guide to Syosset and Long Island. It's dirty and has an embarressing picture of me, check it out.

Also, you may want to catch up on all my snarky commentary on Newday. This week's assignment is to review the new Paris Hilton cd!
