Dido Answers Your Questions

Here's some more quezzies of fans which Dido answered!

Dear Dido. I remember reading in interview you were sitting in you kitchen recording for your new album, Safe Trip Home, and you said you used a computer program. Did you use one particular one or a bundle of programs to make your music?
Jack
Dido replies: Just one - Logic 8. It's brilliant.

Do you play/listen to classical music and does it have an influence on your music?
Alex, Greece
Dido replies: I do yes. I listen and play on the piano. I'm sure it has an influence on me melodically although hard to tell specifically how. It was so much part of my life it can't have failed to have an influence and those wonderful melodies become embedded in my brain. I love being able to read and write music and really enjoying learning all over again about orchestration. One of my favourite things is to listen to a beautifully playing orchestra play a song I've written. It's a truly great experience.

I have heard that you play drums now, was it not difficult to learn, I mean in the beginning?
Verner, Denmark
Dido replies: Not difficult to get to the hopeless stage I'm at, no! But yes, I imagine hard to become a great drummer. I am practising...

Dido. You can have any pudding/dessert in the world right now. What will you have?
Pete, Newcastle
Dido replies: A lemon tart/lemon bar made my friend Pete.

Sorry everyone!

I suck, well, school sucks too. But I'm just so busy and stupid teachers decided to gave us A LOT of homework! No fun! :( Just wanted to share that in case you all think I'm either dead or don't like Dido anymore. I still love Dido and I will always love her, duh, she's amazing! Anyway, check out didomusic.com for all the latest press pieces, a report of the US playback and more!

First of all, Safe Trip Home is out TODAY (tomorrow if you live in the USA)! Woot! Also, as you can see Dear-Isobel has a new layout. :-) This layout won't be online for a LONG time though, as Nicole will make a new layout soon! And you can now watch the film for "The Day Before The Day" on safetriphome.com. :-) Cool, huh? Oh, you can also download safe trip home for £5! Hehe. The high-quality MP3s will play on any music player. Click here to download the album for only £5.

And last but not least, I'm probably gonna need someone to help me with all the news on Dido as I still go to school but I'm already thinking of someone who might wanna help me, will ask her sometime. :-)
