Siouxsie and Budgie divorced?! How did I not find out about this earlier? I'm ... wow. I'm actually shook up by this.
'Serenity'
Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I wondered what was behind the new solo album instead of a Creatures record.
Not only did they divorce, but Siouxsie came out as a lesbian! My GF was all over that news.
Oh my.
So was she 'bi' before, or is this totally new?
I'm pretty sure she was bi.
Not only did they divorce, but Siouxsie came out as a lesbian! My GF was all over that news.
I haven't been able to find confirmation of that part, just a lot of second-hand blog postings.
When I told Pete about this, the first words out of his mouth were "No, you cannot have Budgie".
GF had an interview with her where she acted all "what's the big?" about it. I'll get the link.
Siouxsie interview [link]
"I think men and women are very different and maybe we're not totally suited as partners. We are so different emotionally. Women are allowed and encouraged to have all these emotions, whereas I still find men repressed. Isn't it weird the way, politically, women are oppressed but emotionally men are? I just do think females are superior. I, erm, I think they have the whole package." Is Sioux telling me she's a lesbian? "I've never particularly said I'm hetero or I'm a lesbian. I know there are people who are definitely one way, but not really me. I suppose if I am attracted to men then they usually have more feminine qualities."
Am I the only one who can't read the word "package" without singing it "pa-aa-ckage"?
OK, just me then.
Woot! Just got my new issue of the Oxford American in the mail, and I need to recommend it to my musicistas. (It comes with CD, natch.)
For Joe Boucher we've got both Theo.Sphere Monk and Iris Dement.
For msbelle we've got Dwight Yoakum and the International Submarine Band (Gram).
For David Smay fans we've got my piece on Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks.
Lots of cool stuff. Also, Karen Dalton, Van Dyke Parks, Percy Mayfield, The Roches, Daniel Johnston, Fred Neil, the Sparkletones and Karen Dalton.
