Gary Go Live At London’s Brixton Academy
Gary Go posted footage from his recent Brixton Academy performance in London, opening for Lady Gaga. The British singer wrote on his blog at MySpace (@garygo):
Lady Gaga tour has been immense. Traveling around Europe on the Go Bus has led to many adventures including The Field Of Dreams, sniffer dogs, a roadie with a broken leg, a McCafĂ© mecca, getting stuck between two countries in a lawless no man’s land, peddling pedal boats backwards through ‘no pedal boat zones’ of Amsterdam canals, the (re)discovery of Crocs (the new clog…let your judgment go!), meeting with top Swiss glasses company for some special GG specs and making a music video on a rooftop in Berlin! And this was all done on just the first day!!

Gary Go Very Very Saddened By Michael Jackson Death
Gary Go shared his thoughts following the death of Michael Jackson earlier today on his blog at MySpace (@garygo). The British pop rock singer writes:
Very very saddened by the news of one of my biggest musical idols.
An ocean of inspiration.
I remember cutting up a white gym sock and sticking glitter to it, so I could have my own MJ glove.
I remember practicing the moonwalk.
I remember my first concert at Wembley Stadium and how MJ arrived on the stage in a rocket ship.
I remember listening to all his albums on loop.
I remember pausing the “Scream” video frame by frame, trying to figure out the steps.
I hope this day becomes MJ Memorial Day.
He transcended cultural boundaries.
His message was universal.
His songs are eternal.
He was indefinable.
The ultimate artist, up there with the very best of all time.
Thank you Michael for everything you gave to music, the world and to me.
Sad Emoticon.

Hello! How are you? February has welcomed London with beautiful snow. I did not make anything from snow today. Snow is Wonderful! Louise, you asked me “How do I enjoy the snow?”…I think play fighting in the snow with a loved one is the best….or sledding! I love sledding.
It’s been busy here at The Canvas Room. Mastering the Napster session tomorrow which should be cool. It’s so great exploring the songs in new ways.
I recorded drums at Peter Gabriel’s studio on two new songs last week. Maybe I’ll even sneak a new song onto the album, if time allows it!! I’ve got to finish vocals on the songs tomorrow.

Napster asked me for a list of my 20 favorite songs of all time…that is one hard list to compile, but I think I represented my best of…sort of. I knew I had to have a Bowie and NIN song on there! Could you pick your one favorite song of all time?? Quite a few to choose from!
