Clips & Interviews
From my brief foray as a music journalist from 1999-2005. Most of these short interviews were conducted an hour before their shows. I attended four Warped Tours, two Ozzfests and many many shows at the Troubadour & House of Blues Sunset Strip (RIP). I recovered these through the archive of the website I worked for.

We also conducted “live chats” between bands and their fans on the website. We did this by being on a conference call with the artist, reading them fan questions and then typing their responses.
Dido started singing with various bands in and around London, and despite the fact that her brother, Rollo, told her not to give up her day job, she eventually appeared on the debut album of a band that Rollo formed in 1995. This band was Faithless, and they went on to sell five million records. Over the next two years, dido toured with Faithless recording demos of her own songs. On Faithless's current release, Sunday 8pm, Dido appears on two songs, one of which incorporates her own My Lover's Gone.
Arista records heard her demos at the beginning of 1997, and so began the recording of Dido's debut album, No Angel. Unified by both Dido's stunning voice and lyrical acuteness, the album travels diverse styles ranging from the impassioned magnificence of here with me, the gentle soulfulness of Thank You (featured in the recent Gwyneth Paltrow movie Sliding Doors), the deep dubbiness of Honestly Ok, to the lyrical perversity of Don't Think of Me. Chat with Dido about No Angel, the WB hit TV series Roswell & her theme song, Lilith Fair experiences, and her current tour.
