This week’s No.1 record in the UK official charts is Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl”. Apparently, what with Katy being a girl and all, this is a bit risqué - but as she says in the song, so long as her boyfriend doesn’t mind (RealMusic Blog is guessing that he doesn’t so long as there’s a video to watch), then everything’s OK…
Let’s face it, paying for things is just a bit rubbish. Which is why here at RealMusic Blog, we shower you with a steady but frothy flow of news, reviews, videos and interviews all for free. What do we ask in return? Nothing - just that you stop at the end of every blog and send a little mind missile of love our way.

It may be more famed for its beer, coffee houses and being the greenest city in the US, but Portland is also home to The Gossip, the indie-punk band who stand firmly in the way of control and refuse to budge. The Gossip grabbed the UK’s imagination last year with their Ms Ditto’s glittering costumes, shimmering vocals and their pop-edged punk sound - so who better than guitarist Nathan Howdeshell to give you an insight into their home town of Portland?
