Did you need a version of "Spooky" sung in Czech?
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

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 keep forgetting to mention that Trannyshack is having a special tribute this Friday. Twelve different drag queens will be doing...Siouxsie!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Kristin Hersh gig last night (as a special guest of Giant Sand) was truly superb. My only complaint was that she wasn't on enough. Trying to get tickets for a very small gig she's doing on Monday, but I think it's a sort of draw. We shall see!
Daisy Jane, Codeine Velvet Club cancelled last weekend, so I didn't get to see them. I was very disappointed! They barely gave any notice, too, so we didn't know until after we'd arrived. Which seems like a crappy thing for a band to do. The rest of the festival was fun, though. These New Puritans and Yeasayer are great live.

That sucks!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

News for the other MCR fans: (No, not the news of Gerard bleaching his hair a truly awful shade of blond.) At the Dark Horse Comics panel at SDCC, Gerard said he wasn't going to be releasing any new comics this year because the band had just completed their new album.
Completed! Now to cross our fingers for it being released soon, and touring to start!

Kristin Hersh gig was *incredible*. Tiny bar - can't even have been a hundred of us packed in there. I was sat right near the front, which was awesome. She did a great mix of songs from 'Crooked' and older stuff - 'The Cuckoo', 'Gazebo Tree', a few off 'Sunny Border Blue', two Throwing Muses songs (one brand new one - sounding good!) and ending with 'Your Dirty Answer'. (I wanted 'Your Ghost', but I got that at last week's gig, so you can't have everything.) She's just amazing live! Especially in such a small venue. Could have been singing in my living room. Wonderful.
She's been cat-sitting in Windsor and kept talking about getting cornflakes for the Queen. And also about her G string. She signed copies of her book afterwards and was so adorable, talking to people for ages. What a lovely person. Her husband-manager is also lovely - he had made sure there was help available for me from venue staff, as I'd mentioned in an e-mail that I needed wheelchair access. Very sweet.
And now I am extremely hung over.
