Love/Hate Relationship

I have a love/hate relationship with Perez Hilton. I love his website (and read it daily) but I can't stand him and a lot of the time I completely disagree with what he writes. However, he has recently been blogging about this new artist, Little Boots. I have to admit the first couple times he wrote about her I disregarded it since he tends to jump on the bandwagon of random artists that aren't particularly spectacular for any reason. However he posted a video of her doing a cover of Kid Cudi's "Day 'N Nite" and it was actually pretty good. It peaked my interest enough to venture to her youtube where I discovered that she actually does something pretty cool, and that is she takes requests from fans and covers a song every monday via her youtube. She's done MGMT and Cyndi Lauper, among others. I really like the idea. If I were a talented singer/musician I would totalllly do that!

Here is her doing "Time to Pretend" by MGMT


I went to her website and found she also keeps a pretty extensive blog. A lot of it is just the usual talk about getting drunk and high at shows and meeting cool musicians, but there are also a lot of pictures so it's fun. Theres also a free download which I'm not sure I like but it's free so I didn't turn it down. At the very least this inspired me to pay an ounce more attention to Perez's praises of her.

Oh, and the Kid Cudi cover:


Can't wait until Thursday at 11.
