KT Tunstall

[Seventhseil]

How do all our male correspondents feel about the lovely KT Tunstall getting married?
I was hoping she would save her self for my oldest, but alas its not to be...

KT is getting married she never told me she told me i was special and wanted to be alone with me ................................................................. well i think that's what she said.

I went to see KT at the Skye Music Festival - but someone moved the bridge from Mallaig to Kyle of
Lochalsh!

[Seventhseil]

I did that once as well but found Mallaig much more entertaining......I was in a state of great emotional distress......and Mallaig gave me the Jerry Springer factor, i.e. even if Dr Hannah had run out of HRT my life wasnt as bad as that!!

I don't think she would be right for me, and besides there are any number of really attractive women in the world..............including my wife

Ecorazzi Chats With KT Tunstall

(Ecorazzi is a green celeb gossip site- great wee niche there. . .)

You are a pretty famous green gal: you rock hard and live with sustainability in mind. What is the main motivation in both?

Well now tell me, what’s the point of having a band and not rocking hard? NO POINT!! For me, the tradition of rock and roll is about living the life of a nomad, having what you need in a guitar and a bag, and it’s a great way to live. It’s a lot more inspiring than piles of inflammable stuff.

You have said in other interviews that being from a physically beautiful place makes being “green” that much more important to you. Where are you from and how did that inform your childhood and ecological outlook?

I grew up on a craggy Scottish coastline that’s crumbling into the wild North Sea. When I went down to London, people would say, “woooo, it’s windy today.” And I would think, ‘come on, I don’t see any trees on the floor’. To me, nature is an obviously omnipotent force with the upper hand, and we are guests. As long as we are graceful, appreciative lodgers, the earth remains healthy and wondrous. We are trashing the guest house, and it feels wrong.

My favorite green activity is walking around my apartment naked in the summer, to cut down on my energy use and the AC bill. What is your favorite green tip/activity and why?

I also love walking around my house naked. I also highly recommend sharing a bath, hitting yourself on the head with a ladle if you need to boil the kettle twice, and turning your heating down by 2 degrees.

What is your favorite tree, insect, and car?

The Californian Redwood. The Bee. A vintage Porsche…or a souped up Brazilian copy of a 60’s split screen VW camper. But I don’t own a car or a camper van as it wouldn’t make sense.

Would you rather date an unabashed Hummer Driver, an Oil Executive, or an Elephant Tusk Dealer?

They can all go and have a reality tv orgy with George Bush whilst being force-fed the prospects of Polar Bears once the Alaskan wilderness has been ruined by greed.

Just kidding about the last, but what is the sexiest eco-friendly thing you’ve ever seen a man do? (I for one get very hot to trot when a man rides a bike to work, with a brief case and his suit leg rolled up to avoid the spokes).

Oh yeah, I was totally kidding too. Sexy good stuff when you see a guy recycling his rubbish. It should be the new singles meeting place; the anti-dump.

Yes, probably not your type PP . . .

Yes I tryed telling my eldest that she would have some left wing leanings as she is a vegitarian after all.........the boy finally got over it though, he's in his room now trying on his new hockey mask and oiling his chainsaw, while I am preparing some "french fried putaders"..now where did I leave that sling blade...

[Eric the Viking]

I'm confused - has 'your boy' got a room in Cornton Vale with you???

By the way ................give my regards to Wendy when she joins you soon!

[Seventhseil]

No I'm out now, Big Mags Hainey said hello though Eric.
Unfortunatly wee Wendy and I won't have the pleasure of sharing a cell, poor lass.

Who is interviewing who in that piece of "green" tat? seems to be a bit mixed up...

[Eric the Viking]

I trhink I saw you at the Steve Earle gig 2nite - was that you down the front throwing your knickers on stage. AC/DC, KT Tunstall & Country boy Earle......Thats a fairly ecclectic mix for a woman of your mature years??

[Seventhseil]

Yes indeed I was at the Steve Earle gig........he was very good....even complimented me on my outfit......although I stopped short of throwing my panties.....

[Eric the Viking]

Lot of money for Karaoke though...................

Could go to Oban and watch some numpty singing along to a backing track for free......
