Blondies' Deborah Harry Talks New Album, New Tour and Possible Blondie Movie With Out Magazine.
In a fresh interview with Out Magazine's Michael Martin, Blondie's lead vocalist Deborah Harry talked about the band's new album 'Ghosts Of Downloads, their upcoming world tour, the possibility of a Blondie biopic, and much more:
In a photo studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Debbie Harry is sitting on a couch, looking fantastic — as she does; that’s her thing — talking about Beth Ditto of the Gossip, with whom she duets on the new Blondie album, Ghosts of Download. “She is a terrific girl. I love the fact that she’s crazy — an independent spirit.” She smiles wryly. “And, you know, I like tough girls.”
“She’s a fabric of her own imagination, not somebody else’s,” she continues. “Which is really important.”

Deborah Harry Looks Back On 40 Years Of Blondie With Interview Magazine
Interview Magazine's Rick Moody caught up with Blondie songstress Deborah Harry back in January for this months's edition of the publication:
Few are the performers of the '70s who accurately inhabit the word superstar in the sense that Warhol used it, a person of style and influence and panache, of inexhaustible charisma, on whom your attention falls and rarely flags. But Debbie Harry is one of those superstars. From the monster success of Parallel Lines, Blondie's breakthrough album of 1978, through the comeback period of the '90s and aughts, Harry's cultural dominance even includes her solo career as an actress of note (in David Cronenberg's Videodrome [1983] and James Mangold's Heavy [1996], among others), and role model for up-and-comers like Lady Gaga and Sky Ferreira. Harry, at age 68, has done it all, made an indisputable mark on American pop culture going on two generations, not in a way that is imperious and diva-like, but rather, in a way that is wry, self-aware, funny, and self-effacing. She performs the role of Debbie Harry in public as though Debbie Harry is a tool in her arsenal or an instrument to be tinkered with, and she seems genuinely bemused by all that has come her way, for good or ill.

Blondie Q&A with T Magazine: 'Ghosts Of Download' Is Moving, Bright and Danceable
At South By Southwest, Blondie's once-couple Deborah Harry and Chris Stein sat down for a chat with The New York Times' T Magazine about their band:
At a festival where Blondie imitators (conscious or unconscious) are everywhere, the founders of the genuine article sit in the basement of the Four Seasons Austin, trying to avoid the spotlight. “I don’t have any anonymity,” says Deborah Harry, who removes her massive sunglasses only when there are no civilians in the room. “I’m either in the hotel or I’m at the gig. I can’t go anywhere. It’s kind of awkward.” She and Chris Stein have brought their band to town for a talk and a couple of shows, part of a series of events celebrating Blondie’s 40th anniversary this year. Up next is a Smithsonian Channel documentary on the group, which premieres March 21. The group’s 10th album, “Ghosts of Download,” comes out in May, packaged with a new greatest-hits release, as “Blondie 4(0) Ever.” The duo chatted with T about the new record, Lou Reed’s memorial and what it means to be hip these days.
