Sorry, I had to share, this has had me on a buzz all day.
Just after 15:00, I receive a call from Agent Chris, who is the producer for the drivetime show on LBC 97.3 radio here in London, which was rather unexpected because he normally only calls me when I have an update for the 17:38 daily correspondant update (for which I provide information on Lordi and Eurovision). "Hi Kassidy, it's Agent Chris, from LBC. I'm calling you up because we are going to have Lordi on the show this afternoon and would like you to help with the interview, are you up for it?"
Needless to say the response was a positive, though I had the problem of going to the hospital at 16:10 to meet with the doctor about my knee again. But, we worked it out, I spoke on air to Iain about it, and in effect, at 17:30 I get another call back with Awa, keyboard player from Lordi, on the other line to pose her some questions together with Iain's questions (none of this at all coordinated, so I had to think on my feet, as any questions I had prepared were either taken by Iain or weren't worded correctly as they would have been intented for a more veteran member of the band).
This was also combined with Chris from Crouchend posing to Awa the fact that, in her twisted opinion, rock music weakens the muscles and we don't want that here in England, which caused an argument post interview between me and Chris.
Not only that, but LBC have said they will be sending the Press Package that they received from Lordi. Schweet.
Of course, it would be senseless for me to make these claims without providing the all essential proof, which you can find here http://kassidy.googlepages.com/correspondance, at the top of the page.
So, that's it, I have had my 15 minutes of fame, I no longer stand any chance of making my break in the music industry or becoming a world famous news reporter, but hey, someone on the radio was kind enough to include me in their plans to interview the Eurovision 2006 winners that made their mark by bringing back hard rock to Eurovision. And I think that's pretty good going.
Now, I wonder what Lordi think of my Blood Red Chicken song...
