The great thing about New Kids On The Block and their fans is the amount of communication they want to share with us. The time they take to make it personal whether it be tweeting people directly, or privately (I've experienced both), or just by putting up photos on their twitter or facebook accounts that are personal -photos of them behind the scenes or even their families - just because they want us to feel a part of their lives. They are always quick to tell us, as if we needed reminding, that without us fans being there they'd not be enjoying their second crack at the music business.
Also the fans are always there for each other and, in the age of the internet and social media, fans around the world are getting to share experiences as well as cultivating new friendships.
Both aspects of this special 'relationship' pulled together this week to help a fan in serious need. Bobette is a 30-year-old fan in the US who had a liver transplant when she was three. Her parents were told she might live to seven if she was lucky but she's obviously defied the medics. However the drugs she's had to take to keep her liver functioning have destroyed her kidneys. She's in need of a kidney transplant from a living donor as it will have a longer life span than a kidney from someone who is deceased.
For various reasons none of her close friends or family were suitable matches so her best friend decided to write a blog and see if anyone in the big wide world would be willing to help Bobette. Both girls are New Kids On The Block fans and so she decided to post the link to her blog to the members of the band to see if they could help spread the word and Donnie Wahlberg did just that. Within a few hours Bobette had six people, all fellow New Kids fans, offering to be donors. They didn't know her personally but felt compelled to help her. This just shows how magic simply loving a band can be.
As for the song, 'Twisted' is my favourite song from their most recent album 'The Block' and this week it just kept popping up on my lastfm account and sticking in my head. Then, when looking for a video of it on youtube I came across the one which you'll find at the end of this blog where, when performing the song at Radio City last June, they mashed it up with the Eurythmics track 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)' which made it even more brilliant than it was already.
Hope you all enjoy it and I'll catch you all again next week!!

You wanna feel, I'll let you feel
