Fangeek did Barbara Hall's band's website?!?
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

I did! How'd you come across that?

From the roundtable:
I still find Lukas compelling. I mean, did you notice his guitar playing on the acoustic version of his original? Those were not actual chords he was playing. I think he even strummed the thing totally open at one point. So he's either got the fretboard skills of John Fahey or simply doesn't know how to play guitar. Either way, he totally sold that performance.

I did not watch RS so I'm probably giving the guy too much credit, but there is such a thing as open tuning and it's not very complicated.

I was trying to find out if she had a blog, because I loved her JoA series so much. I knew her sister Karen Hall had a blog, so I went to that, and she mentioned her sister's band's website (and linked). I was scrolling, and saw it was a Fangeek production and got all excited.
That's excellent, Monique. The site is beautiful, too. How'd it come about?

I know that there is such a thing as open tuning. . . and yet: still funny.
More fun from the roundtable:
MC: I disagree. Just like Runway, they are going to get even more talented and long-struggling artists to audition. Despite the cheese factor, the show is a huge platform to sell yourself.
HP: Wow, just wait till they get their Vincent (shudder).
DR: "This song just turns me on, ya know? When I sing it, it just gets me off. It's like an art-fashion-music explosion!" (Thank GOD he was finally booted off Runway last week!)
HP: Zayra already was the art-fashion-music explosion. She's probably the only person I've seen who could be on almost all of my favorite reality shows — Rock Star, Project Runway, and Top Model!
AK: If she happened to be on Survivor, she'd climb up a tree, incapacitate everyone with a spell, climb down, and claim her prize. For once, Jeff Probst would be humbled.

Aw, thanks. I must admit, I am pleased with it.
As for how it came about, Nick's former assistant is now Barbara's assistant.

Hello, small world. It's truly amazing to me where being a onetime fan of a little TV show has led some people. I'll stop before I go all Dr. Seuss: Oh, the Places You'll Go!

A bunch of former-girl band members should make their own band and the show could be called Rock Star: Bitches.
Oh, I know! VIXEN.
