So, musically, what are you listening to right now? What are you into?

LS: Right now? Um… There’s this guy called Mickey Avalon. I think he’s funny. He’s good. You know, my Ipod, I just listen to that lately because you know, I haven’t got myself time to sit down and find out what’s going on these days,  which is a bit shameful, but you know. And I like early Hip Hop anyway. So my Ipod is good.

So you’re touring a lot now?

LS: Yeah, like I start my headline tour in October 24th.

So where are you starting out?

LS: Where?

Yeah, like where is the headlining tour starting out?

LS: Uh, somewhere in America, I don’t know where.


So it’s an American tour?

LS: Yeah, yeah…

Is it international or just American?

LS: Just American for now, but like, I’m going to Japan in like about a week and a half, as well.

You excited about that?

LS: Yeah man. (Laughs) Bigtime.

So where has been the best show that you’ve ever done?

LS: Ever?

Well, so far yeah…

LS:  I dunno. The show I did in Denmark was all right actually, which, it was surprising because I didn’t think no one in Denmark knew what was going on, you know. I had about like five thousand people just going crazy and they all knew my lyrics. It was mad. That was cool.  I’ve done some good shows in America as well. Most of them have been good so I can’t really say “Aw, this one was my favorite.”

Right…well, what about the worst?

LS: Philadelphia.

Philadelphia? Really?

LS: I didn’t even do the show.

Why?

LS: I don’t know if you’ve seen, on YouTube.com, if you type in my name, there’s like a video of when I freaked out in Philadelphia, and I didn’t do the show and I started going mad. I just looked like a spoiled little brat. I was like “I’m not FUCKING doing this”, I was like AARRRRGHHH.

Was there any reason why?

LS: Because the sound system, the PA was the most budget, rubbish, cheap, lamest system I’ve ever come across in my life. I couldn’t hear anything. It was bad. I pushed the speakers over and everything. Oh, Philly hates me I think. No seriously, I got hate mail after that. But I’m going back there soon…

So you’ll do a better show?

LS: Yeah…

Do you have anything you want to say about the album?

LS: October the 10th. Public Warning. You know, help a girl out. (Laughs)

So you know exactly when it’s coming out?

LS: October the 10th. Definitely this time.

Is it already out in the UK?

LS: No, no! You lot are gettin’ it first.

There's much more humor in this music than most Americans can appreciate. I don't think she thinks of herself as hard-edged at all in her music, she's having a blast and being fun wiv it.
