Now that we got into languages you might enjoy something from Spain that I stumbled upon on twitter earlier this week. ETA The article is dated June 8, 2015. Link to online article (two pages!) shangay.com/adam-lambert-%E2%80%9Cno-puedo-gustar-todo-el-mundo%E2%80%9DTitle being perhaps: I can't please everybody. New to me was this SHANGAY ⇒ ¿Algún estilo que nunca escuches? ADAM LAMBERT ⇒ Country. Nunca le he pillado el punto. ¿Y sabes qué? El dubstep tampoco me convenció cuando surgió el boom. Hay un par de temas míticos de dubstep que me parecen totales, pero en cuanto todo el mundo se apuntó al carro me aburrí enseguida. Me alegro de que ya no esté tan de moda. ¡Es que me costaba mucho bailarlo! [risas] Google translation ⇒ SHANGAY Report style that never listen? ADAM LAMBERT ⇒ Country. I've never caught the point. And you know what? Dubstep he not convinced me when the boom came. There are a couple of mythic themes that seem Total dubstep me, but as everyone said the car I got bored quickly. I am glad that it is no longer so fashionable. It cost me much to dance! [laughs] And trying to guess the bolded parts: legendary dubstep songs that I think are great (smash?) got on board I like (enjoy?) Whatever, it's a long and good article for a gay publication (the second page is about Pride and related issues). I find it awesome that there's something for Spanish audiences too. |

Slightly off topic, but musically related, seeing as there are a lot of music-lovers and concert-goers among Glamberts. Perhaps you'd be interested to know what's happening at the biggest European music festival: EXIT FEST (in Novi Sad, Serbia) is celebrating its 15th year. It starts today and lasts 4 days. There are about 15-20 stages with lots of performers: Emeli Sande, Faithless, Hardwell, Motorhead, The Prodigy, etc. More than 40,000 people from over 60 countries all over the world will pass through the gates of Exit festival! The craze for the festival reached an all-time high... www.exitfest.org/en Long live music and festivals.   |

The craze for the festival reached an all-time high... www.exitfest.org/enLong live music and festivals. Thanks for the info! I'm always interested in what happens in other countries and it seems impressive. Also I think there was a stream available a couple of years ago - then again it might've been just videos of Nile performing there. Surely a great destination for a music lover with such a variety (=lots of stages that I assume translate to a great number of different performers). However, 'the biggest in Europe' is just marketing speak. What comes to mind first are Roskilde (Denmark), Glastonbury (UK) and Pinkpop (NL) that have a long history and are huge, a couple of others too that escape my memory at the moment. Even Ruisrock in Finland last weekend had an audience of 95000 (in 3 days) and is one of the longest-running festivals, started in 1970 - but it has only three stages if that's the measurement the marketing people were thinking about, usually it's the audience though. Another festival in Finland in June, Provinssi, had 79000 visitors this year. But I wholeheartedly agree: Long live music and festivals everywhere!  I also wish that Adam would consider these as festivals are a big business in Europe. To have an impact for example in Germany I think it would make a big difference in acquiring new audiences. |

I also wish that Adam would consider these as festivals are a big business in Europe. To have an impact for example in Germany I think it would make a big difference in acquiring new audiences. Yeah, I believe "biggest" refers to the space, and maybe even number of performers, more than audience numbers... But it's not just rock. It has all these different stages: rock, dance, electro, disco, reggae, fusion, whatever type of music you want. It lasts 4 days pretty much non-stop, day and night. (And there is a Sea Dance Festival afterwards, at the Adriatic - which isn't technically part of the Exit Festival, but they are connected and you could buy 1 ticket for both. So that's another 3 days, I think.) I'd say it is one of the best festivals overall, even with smaller numbers - it has won the award for best European festival several times during these 15 years, so I guess I'm not wrong when I say numbers aren't everything, though I know music festivals are big business. But Exit really has an important history as well, because it started literally from zero, as a student protest, and it still has a strong social component. It has an incredible message of equality, freedom, solidarity, anti-discrimination, etc. I think these things are more important than money, but I'm not a festival organizer, so what do I know?... Anyway, it would be amazing to have Adam at one of the future Exit festivals.... I know I would go Cuckoo for that... |

The Metrosource article. Ordered my copy. Really good questions. And Adam...please don't starve yourself to get to the sample size. metrosource.com.s123317.gridserver.com/2015/07/09/adam-lambert-there-i-said-it/Dressing bravely to show the world you’re brave? It’s like the kid that’s goth in high school, who’s actually a total butterfly at heart. But they feel weird and sensitive — so they wear all this black to school, you know? Are you that guy, Adam? Are you the butterfly inside the goth? I think I’m more sensitive than people might realize, yes. Beyond fashion, what’s your aesthetic for choosing the things that surround you — how you decorate your home, for example? Well, I bought a house this year, my first house — I feel like I’m growing up! It’s great. Having a house in LA is amazing because you’re, like, after-party-central [when] all the bars close at 2. … I’ve decided to name my design aesthetic — I decorated my own house; it was really fun — I call it “White Witch.” It’s kind of “nouveau goth.” Well, goth is actually not the right word. It’s more rock ‘n’ roll. It’s a little bit taxidermy, and there are decadent things like a fur rug, and the lamps in my living room are antlers, and there’s a lot of, like, metallic silver accents. It’s very monochromatic: light colors and earth tones, cool lighting fixtures, Edison bulbs. It’s not over the top, though; it’s actually surprisingly minimal. ...... It seems like fans are always hungry to know about your personal life. How much of that are you interested in sharing? Where do you draw the line? It’s hard because you give an inch, and it’s not really the fans that take a mile. It’s more like the media can take a mile, and then things get all screwed up if you’re not careful. It’s a tricky thing to navigate, and I don’t know if I’ve figured it out yet. I’m single, and I mingle. [Laughs] And I think I’m back at a point now in my life where I would love to be in love. I would love to have a relationship again but with who? I don’t know! I’m dating my album right now! Going back all the way to Idol, one of your trademarks has been knowing how to use stage fireworks to showcase a song. Do you have a sense of how you want to visually present this album — on stage or in videos? I’ve been thinking about it because it’s gonna come up on me here any minute. … I definitely want to go down a different path than what I’ve done in the past; I hate repeating myself. I think the album sounds so different from what I’ve done, that it needs to look different as well. I want to go more minimal. Basically, I want to go more art installation-esque — a little bit more modern, a little bit more graphic. There will obviously always be little elements of theater in everything I do — it’s just who I am — but in a less presentational way. I started trying to realize what it was that I actually wanted to be happy — and that’s enough. Awesome! As long as I don’t starve! Although I might look cute if I starve a little bit… Please, girl! You are fabulous and handsome, you don’t need to worry about that. Not at all! I want that sample size! |
