Thanks to Nikki for this. Maybe I should see if my copy has arrived yet of the magazine since I’m a member of the Replay club as well.<\/p>\n
I don’t know if you know a store called Suncoast, well they gave this
\noffer call replay so that you get money back or whatever and I just got the
\nbook they send me and it had a Dido article in it. I wanted to tell you this
\ncause I don’t know how you would explain it, but the Magazine is called
\n“Replay”<\/p>\n
PS: In Dido news too she was on SNL performing “Stan” with Eminem, and she
\nput a music video for “here with me” and in New York it’s getting air play
\ntoo (mostly in the city on z100 and on Long Island with 106.1 WBLI– thoes
\nare really the only two stations I heard it on)<\/p>\n
Speak for yourself Dido:<\/p>\n
From soundtracks to a Slim Shady album, her songs are popping up in the most
\nunlikely places.<\/p>\nShe’s named for an African warrior queen, but the songs on Dido’s stillvital
\n1999 debut No Angel reveal the electronic-pop chanteuse to be more of a lover
\nthan a fighter. Perhaps that’s the very reason keep-’em-guessin’ tough guy
\nEminem used a snippet of her melancholic “Thank You” as the hook for his
\nchilling tale of fandom gone awry, “Stan.” Even Dido herself doesn’t know for
\nsure. But that doesn’t mean the 28-year-old classically trained musician
\ndoesn’t find herself fielding lots of questions about Eminem. When she
\nstopped by the Request office, we couldn’t help resist asking a few more.<\/p>\nRequest: How have people reacted to your appearance on “Stan”?<\/p>\n
Dido: I’ve spent the last few months doing interviews, being asked the most
\nridiculous questions, like, Am I homophobic? I’m on a song on some guy’s
\nrecord who has created a character who says ridiculous things. How did you
\nget that I was homophobic?<\/p>\nRequest: But you’re an Eminem Fan.<\/p>\n
Dido: I spent the last week defending myself, which I’m definitely not used
\nto doing. But I’m happy to be on [The Marshal Mathers LP]. I think it’s
\ngreat. I just love it. He makes me laugh so much, and I just think it’s funny
\nthat I’ve had to justify him in interviews. I feel bad for him in a way.
\nObviously he created his own controversy], but it’s too bad that he has to
\njustify it day in and day out.<\/p>\nRequest: Why do you think your songs are showing up so often on other records
\nand soundtracks?<\/p>\nDido: I think it’s just the music. Basically, nine out of the 12 tracks on my
\nalbum have been licensed, and all more than once. So I’ve not quite caught up
\nwith Moby, but I think the music has just got quite a filmy vibe, and that’s
\nwhy it gets picked up on….The first thing that happened was “Thank You”
\nbeing in [the 1998 movie] Sliding Doors.<\/p>\nRequest: You got in on the final Lilith Fair. What was that like?<\/p>\n
Dido: They gave me the “hot week.” It was July…..It was 110 degrees every
\nsingle day, and I had never experienced heat like that.<\/p>\nRequest: You’ve toured a lot, too. How does the pop world compare how your
\nclassical roots?<\/p>\nDido: I toured with a classical ensemble when I was a kid. I hardly remember
\nit. All I remember is being homesick all the time. I was only 9, and I
\nremember being shipped off around Europe with these older kids. It’s a
\nslightly different experience now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thanks to Nikki for this.
