7:24AM Jess McGuire | Hope you all had a fabulous long weekend and stayed out of mischief! Can’t say I didn’t suffer from a couple of hangovers during my three days of freedom, but that’s the price you pay for keeping it real, I suppose. Anyway, during my Monday session of feeling like death warmed up, I decided to watch a DVD someone kindly sent to RRR for me featuring one of my favourite celebrity interviews Sia Furler. More »

10:55AM Jess McGuire | The gossip rags have turned against Our Delta (well, as much as they’re willing to) and have begun questioning why she announced she was too ill to perform at the Grand Prix, but somehow ended up hanging out with me at The Corner Hotel before shaking her groove thing at a nightclub in Melbourne. What gives?

Possible Reasons Why Delta Didn’t Sing The National Anthem At The Grand Prix

4:55PM Jess McGuire | Last night I went to see Sia perform at The Corner. The CSS remix of Buttons is currently being flogged on the national youth broadcaster, and this Australian tour was presented by NOVA and MTV (I know!), so unsurprisingly it was a sell out show. And also packed with famous people!

Ladyhawke’s Homemade Clip For ‘Dusk Till Dawn’
2:43PM Jess McGuire | Oh hey, have I mentioned lately how much I adore Ladyhawke? It feels like it’s been weeks. I don’t want you to feel like my love for that record has waned in any way. It is the best release of the year, and if you don’t go out and buy it and become breathlessly excited by its pop brilliance, you’re a fool. Who’s with me?
“I could not agree more with you, Jess. Do yourself a favour!”
Thank you, Molly.
Anyway, given that Defamer Australia has pretty much been a Ladyhawke-love zone since the record arrived in our Magical Letterbox Of Awesomeness, we were (of course) quick to give you the heads up regarding the release of the official video clip for ‘Dusk Till Dawn’.
Well, guess what? We’ve just been alerted to the fact that Ladyhawke has released a second (and totally adorable!) video for the song, featuring an all star cast – including Sia, JD Samson from Le Tigre, Peaches, and Ladyhawke’s mum! – filmed on webcams singing along to the track.
Check it out for yourself after the jump! It’s made me incredibly happy today.
PS: You can tell that Sia and JD Samson are sharing a camera. Bless ‘em! More » The Sia Interview Will Be Broadcast At Midnight AEST
10:57PM Jess McGuire | Arf. I love how idiotically official this post title sounds. If you’d like to hear the Sia interview in its entirety (all the dramatic revelations and girlish giggling you’ve ever hoped for in one twenty or so minute interview!), it will be broadcast on Melbourne’s RRR 102.7FM from around midnight. If you can’t get reception, you can stream it from rrr.org.au. If you have to, take loads of speed in order to stay awake.
JUST KIDDING, KIDS/LONG HAUL TRUCK DRIVERS!
And now I promise to have a six month amnesty from typing the name “Sia” on Defamer Australia. But if I ever get Ladyhawke into a studio with me, god help you all. And her.

Defamer Australia Talks To Sia About Tila Tequila, Lindsay Lohan, And Writing Songs With A Certain Pop Star
1:49PM Jess McGuire | Here’s a little extract from our interview with the amazing Sia, where we discussed reality television, Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan, and the Very Big Pop Star she’ll be writing with in November..
DA: I read that you’re a pop culture junkie, you used to watch Rock Of Love and Tila Teqila, is that right?
SIA: Oh my gosh, I love reality TV.
DA: Let’s talk about it!
SIA: I have this thing called TiVo. I live in New York, and it’s – I swear, you can record any program and you can go home and watch them and fast forward the adverts! And any boring bits, like where they repeat things due to lazy editing. And oh my gosh, I loved Rock Of Love, it was so amazing! Tila Tequila? Amazing. Project Runway? Amazing. America’s Next Top Model? Amazing.
DA: Did you see the second series of Tila Tequila?

A Taste Of Our Interview With Sia (Part One)
9:11AM Jess McGuire | Right, folks. The interview with Sia I mentioned earlier for the RRR show I host on Wednesday nights at Wilson Pickett O’Clock went ahead – hurrah! – and I am pleased to inform you that she is absolutely marvellous. I knew I’d like her when we fell into making incest jokes within a minute of conversation. I believe the words “wrinkly ding dong!” were happily exclaimed by Sia after a particularly off colour comment made by yours truly about grandfathers…
The interview will either be broadcast tonight on RRR at midnight (you can stream and listen from rrr.org.au) or next Wednesday night (same time, same place) – I’ve gotta sort out my schedule, but I’ll confirm by this afternoon for those net nerds who actually care.
In the meantime, would you like a nice summary of what was discussed, and a tiny snippet of audio which contains the most wonderful sentence ever muttered by a human being? (< -- YOU'LL SEE WHAT I DID THERE SHORTLY) More » Do You Have Any Questions For Sia?
4:17PM Jess McGuire | All signs point toward Your Editor interviewing pop delight Sia tomorrow night, and as I like to often shove audio of interviews online for your consumption (see Wendy James, Sebastian Bach, Angie Hart), I figured you might be able to suggest some questions you’d like to have answered from the woman who brought you memorable tunes like ‘Breathe Me’ and awesome video clips like the one for ‘Pictures’ and a rather nice cover of Britney’s ‘Gimme More‘. You may like to quiz her about her dogs Pantera and Lick-Lick Sciene.
If there’s anything you think would help me out as I bang out my best Jana Wendt impersonation, feel free to contact me by email or comment below. More »

10:03AM Jess McGuire | Would you like to see Australia’s own Sia performing Britney’s “Gimme More”?
Better yet, would you like to stare at a photo of Sia while you listen to her singing a cover of “Gimme More”?
Fantastic, you’re going to be stoked about today’s clip then.
