Crabs?

Good thing Katy Perry dressed like this during her performance at the V Festival and did this or else I would have been forced to focus on her music. That’s what I would say with a sigh of relief had I gone to the V Festival and watched Katy Perry. The only reason to go to her show is the possibility of her slipping out although that’s highly unlikely what with her backstage ritual of jumping rope to make sure everything stays in place. Blast! Foiled by common sense again.

Katy Perry's Australian Tour EP

I haven't written a lot about Katy Perry on this blog - mainly because every time I mention her name I get shouted down by rabid haters throwing around accusations of rampant publicity whoring and homophobia. One day I'll write a post addressing that rubbish but it will have to wait until I have more time because that's going to be quite an essay. In the meantime, I'll stick to raving about Katy's amazing Australian tour EP - classily titled "Hello Katy". With physical singles harder to find than hits in La Toya's discography and iTunes now charging $2.19 for a fucking download, EMI has bucked the trend and delivered an absolute smorgasbord of Katy Perry goodness for a very reasonable price. I'm not sure how many copies the EP will sell (given how hard it is to find) but I have no doubt the label will more than recoup its investment in goodwill from fans. Which is a valuable asset in and of itself.

Unfortunately, I couldn't attend Katy's tour but this is a great little souvenir. I love the cover art and the tracklisting is very generous - if a little hit and miss. The EP kicks off with a couple of quirky covers. A lot of acts have interpreted MGMT's "Electric Feel" (including my future husband Andy Bull) but Katy's version is one of my favourites. It strips the song back to basics and puts all the emphasis on Katy's voice, which is considerably sweeter than usual. "Electric Feel" is followed by a similar re-imagining of Sam Sparro's "Black & Gold". I don't like this as much, possibly because I find the original so grating. Next up is "I Think I'm Ready", which most fans will know as a "One Of The Boys" bonus track. The song is very cute and shows Katy's softer side. I guess the same could be said for the acoustic version of "Thinking Of You", which is one of the standouts from her album. Say what you want about her but the woman can sing and knows how to knock out an insightful lyric.

The rest of "Hello Katy" is comprised of remixes of varying quality. Calvin Harris has been on fire in 2009 but his remix of "Waking Up In Vegas" is the worst kind of noise pollution. The Dr. Luke & Benny Blanco mix of "I Kissed A Girl" fares considerably better and I'll definitely be whipping this out at my next faux lesbian themed house party. Bimbo Jones are a Nicki French remix away from being the new Almighty but I love their particular brand of low brow dance trash. I prefer the original but their take on "Hot N Cold" is also pretty irresistible (below). The EP concludes with a fairly tame mix of "Ur So Gay" - the song that put all the gays off side in the first place. I still find it completely inoffensive and think it makes a fitting conclusion to a fun collection of not-so-rare Katy rarities! Well done, EMI.

Katy Perry Encourages Girls To Be Mildly Slutty

Katy Perry isn’t one to be timid. She is one, however, to tell ladies to leave their ex-boyfriends naughty messages on their cell phones while performing at U.K. festivals.
So I guess that means Perry leaves Matt Thiessen randy voicemails on occasion. Just hit delete, Matty. Just hit delete. If she’s willing to go on a date with a Buzzgrinderer, she’s a bad investment.

Katy Perry Takes Hong Kong...Or Just One Of The City's Newest Hotels

Although hotel plans around the US keep getting cancelled, in Asia it's a veritable buffet of grand openings and ground-breakings. Nowhere is this more true than in good old Hong Kong, where not one but a few five-star properties are set to open this fall.
The first, the Mira Hong Kong, looks to be your typical chic and scene-y boutique hotel, with all-glass revealing bathrooms, Arne Jacobsen egg chairs in the rooms, and a confusing flash-heavy website. They are admittedly after the "design-driven and technology savvy," but their choice of performer for their opening party says something else.
Katy Perry, of "I Kissed A Girl" fame, will sing at The Mira's opening event on September 17, no doubt clad in faux fruit. To us, this performance seems a random grab at attention by the hotel, but that doesn't stop us from being totally jealous of her for all her traveling and luxury hotel sleeping.
In fact, the whole soiree is being orchestrated by Colin Cowie, the same dude behind Oprah's Legends Ball and the ridiculously grandiose opening of The Atlantis Dubai. Katy Perry is no Kylie Minogue however, so we bet that The Mira won't be shooting off $20 million dollars worth of fireworks to rival The Atlantis' party.
