Well, the first time I saw her was on the Big Breakfast morning show. They had a small excerpt saying that she'd just come out. Of course I was intrigued, however, she did scare me a bit because I remember this one time, my mum had the radio on and Constant Craving came on and I went and locked myself in the toilet so I couldn't hear it! Hmmmm, I dont quite know what was going on with my psyche at that stage (I was 12) but I dont think it was a normal reaction to a popular tune of that era!
So, that was 1992. A few years later I bought a copy of NME and it had a review of AYCE and a tape with 'Get Some' on. This still remains to be one of my favourite kd songs. But once again, I was still very apprehensive about liking her....probably because I knew sshe was a lesbian and because I was confused, all lesbians scared me!... Omigod, how things have changed now.
I was on holiday in Ibiza with my parents in 1997 and mum bought a copy of Q magazine for me to read. I was flicking through and then suddenly, a full page advert for Drag came up and I was transfixed. How could I be so attracted to this woman? I couldn't explain it at all. there was also an interview which I have read so many times. I was transfixed. I wanted to know more. I bought all her albums within a month. If anything , it was my secret. I never dared tell anyone I was fan of kd in case they questioned me. Every night I'd listen to aher albums on my walkman unitl I fell asleep. She got me through some depressing times. Crazy huh?
Finally, IS comes out, I had a girlfriend, I was up in the North so I could go to the Manchester concert and I spent my last £65 on a pair of tickets. It was the best night of my life. I managed to give kd a card and shake her hand. I couln't believe that I was in the same room as the person I'd spent so much time with. The person that had got me through some really sad times, the person who I have so much to thank for. She doesn't even know me, but she was the one artist who had the music that I wanted to listen to through my teens...x
