Well, what I heard this evening is that there is a new Blondie album! I had no idea! This is pretty exciting news, and it looks like the album was just released in the U.S. this past September. It's the first album since their 2003 release, Curse of Blondie. I think I may have to listen to the songs on this album a few times, because they are really addicting. I saw the video for "Mother" on their website and thought it was a terrific song...and then I found "What I Heard" this evening. Love this song! I think the lyrics are awesome, too. In the chorus, we hear "You told me you were done with her, and I believed every word, and now I wonder what I heard...oooooh oooh oooh." I think it would be really cool if she threw "kick you to the curb" in there, kind of like this: "You told me you were done with her, and I believed every word, and now I kick you to the curb...ooooooh oooh oooh." That's my kind of lyric! Yeah! In all seriousness, this song is just as full of gusto, rock, and passion as we would expect from Blondie. I love it. Lost track of how many times I heard it this evening. Debbie Harry's legendary rock vocals and the drive behind this song make it perfect for today. I hope she goes on tour again this year. Maybe she could tour with Pat Benatar again--or maybe with Heart. She can certainly hold her own on tour, too. I'd be first in line for tickets if she tours here. Rock on, Ms. Harry! You sound better than ever!
