Hell yeh - sing me a love song - UH HUH HER

I'm almost inexplicably chuffed that Uh Huh Her, the band, have answered my questions in an interview. Yes, they're a cool band, but getting the answers in my inbox was pretty joyful. Yay! :D

Camila Grey answered the qs, as bandmate Leisha Hailey was unavailable due to work commitments. This is a shame as I'd love to hear her thoughts, however Camila did a great job. I love her use of language, some of it's very... colourful (and I don't mean expletively, rather in terms of... expressiveness), and vivid. It's just a different way of seeing things. That's where I get the thrill. Seeing the words of a creative person and the way in which they communicate. Especially when it's written in such a way that you go "oh cool" when you read it.

Anyway, this is intended for Scotcampus, but should make it in for the February edition. Which is great because that means there's something in between now and Rachel Shelley in March.

I would play on the ferrero roche ad about 'you are spoiling us', but I worked hard on those interviews in terms of thinking of appropriate questions, and on the communicating front and pursuing the final products. The Shelley piece especially is a mammoth undertaking and probably the first of its kind I've done. Of course I've written articles around interviews, with all manner of people from the man down the street to actors and musicians, but never in such detail.

So another insight - the Rachel Shelley article will be a feature in which I write around the interview, and the UH HUH HER piece will be in q+a form. Probably not that interesting of a fact to know... but hey, it's all part of the process. Making these decisions, how am I going to tell this story.

I've been writing my preface to the UH HUH HER interview, and I sing their praises. No secret. Their music's good, it's fresh and funky. Me likee. Here's their myspace... www.myspace.com/uhhuhhermusic
