Sandi Thom Tells Lily Allen: Get Your Sh** Together

Sandi Thom checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace (@sandithom) on Friday (August 29), talking about upcoming gigs, a report in The Daily Record that she wanted a baby, and the singer took a shot at rival UK singer songwriter Lily Allen. Thom writes:

I cant believe Lily Allen hit that girl in the street though, what the hell is that girl all about. I always expected her next album to be out the same time as me as both our first albums came out at the same time. But not a peep. I cant believe she is slagging off Katy Perry as well, I am on Katy’s side, I think she is great!! Lily must be too busy starting fights and slagging people off to write some new songs!!! Come on lil get your SHT together!!

Sandi Thom Rants About Parking Pests

Sandi Thom checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace (@sandithom) on Thursday (August 7), reminding them of ‘Saturday Night’, the second release off her sophomore album, is out in the UK on August 25th, and vented about parking enforcement. “Yesterday I went to get my parking permit for our London flat from this parking shop up the road and I swear to God I was in that shop less than two minutes and when I came outside my car was being clamped and lifted on to the back of a lorry,” Thom writes. “I mean, for God sake how ridiculous is that! I then pleaded with the removal man who showed me no mercy then the traffic cops turned up and saved the day!! They said to this dude that he was being totally out of order and to release the care at once!!! Hurray!!! What a bloody drama… I tell you what I want a word with Gordon Brown cos the roads in London are governed so heavily cos the government makes heaps of money out of praying on the public and giving them tickets after being a second late! And, look at the state of the roads!!! I think everybody in the country should refuse to pay road tax until they loosen the reigns slightly!!”

Webcast Success Story Sandi Thom Stands Her Ground

Billboard spoke with Sandi Thom as she takes her act to America, again quizing the singer about the controversy surrounding her internet rags to riches story. “The media hyped it, because it’s a brilliant story. I think it would be unnatural for them not to find something wrong with it, once a new artist is having success,” she explained. “I have nothing to hide. Yes, I was signed to an indie label and had a publishing deal when I started doing the webcasts. Anybody who saw my webcasts could click on my bio, which was right next to the video. It was all there, right in front of you.”
