Blondie performed all four of their No. 1 hits during Tuesday’s concert at Crossroads, but they opened their encore set with someone else’s chart-topper.
Playing with an energy that recalled their CBGB's heyday, the sextet slammed through a surprising cover of Celine Dion’s Titanic hit “My Heart Will Go On.” It is unsure what was more shocking: Blondie covering Celine Dion or that it was really, really good. - read more at Kansas City.com
Debbie Harry has made an appearance in a comedy sketch alongside acclaimed stand-up comic John Roberts. The video entitled ‘That Smell’ features Harry as a Long Island woman, and is the latest in a line of viral videos from the New York comedian including ‘The Christmas Tree’ and ‘Mother’s Day’.
For a rock show that opened and encored with chart-topping disco hits, the second of which eventually evolved into the Michael Jackson classic "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," there was something surprisingly vital, even cutting-edge to Blondie's Tuesday night performance at the Dodge Theatre. There is a certain element of relevance by proxy, thanks to younger artists like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs still drinking deeply of the CBGB veterans' most inspired work. But this was no touring museum exhibit staged by aging hipsters. This was very much a case of Blondie living in the moment, investing the oldies with real urgency and a palpable sense of adventure. - read more at AZ Central
For Blondie, this summer's tour with Pat Benatar will be more than opportunity to entertain fans and earn some money. It will bring the band a step closer to creating its next CD.
"Actually we're doing this tour to kind of get ready to do a new record," drummer Clem Burke says. "On this tour, we're probably going to debut one or two new things, [along] with our back catalog things. Obviously we've got to play the hits. And we try to dig a little deeper into the Blondie catalog to have some alternative songs to pull out depending on how we feel. We keep the well-known hits in it and try to move the set around a little bit. But our main thing is in the course of rehearsing for the tour, we have also been doing pre-production for a new record and just working out new ideas." - read more at The Morning Call

Chris Stein - the BBC does some cool programming... they have been doing a series of shows about major record producers and of course had to include Mike Chapman who produced four of the classic Blondie albums... in the show they actually got the 24 track master of Heart Of Glass and did a simple analysis of it... i think it should appeal to audiophiles who aren’t even rabid Blondie fans... for me H.O.G. was a digital track in an analog age... so here are Steve Levine (a pretty great producer in his own right) and Richard Allinson with a fairly in depth look at the song - listen at REDNIGHT.NET
