8 YEARS though. How is that possible?
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

There does seem to be a rather wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey thing going on there.
Incidentally, I bought myself a different Mi-Sex track just tonight (Blue Day). Unrelatedly, I swear. It was recommended because I owned the Saints' "Just Like Fire Would". (Also bought the Triffids' "Bury Me Deep In Love while I was at it, I'm on a bit of an Eighties binge right now. I had Jimmy Little's cover version already.)

News about new MCR music! Well, not new, but from the album they were working on before they switched to Danger Days: [link]
So beginning in October we will be releasing 2 songs a month for 5 months. 10 songs in total from the Conventional Weapons sessions we did back in 2009.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's at Max's Kansas City in the back room.
I don't doubt they kissed since both had plenty of bi-sex back in the day, though I don't think they were ever lovers.

Yeah, I've seen other pictures of them (and Mick Jagger, and Iggy?) there, but I'd never seen this one before.
I don't think they were ever lovers.
Sad now.

Sorry. I've been reading Angela Bowie's tell-all bio and she didn't say anything about it, and she certainly would have.
My favorite bit wasn't about her finding Mick in bed with David, but rather when the Bowies came to NYC and she grabbed Billy Murcia (then the drummer with the Dolls) and he grabbed Cyrinda Foxe (at the time, David Johansson's girlfriend) and they shacked up in a Manhattan hotel suite for a week long debauch. Bowie later used Cyrinda in the "Jean Genie" video, shot partly in San Francisco.
Lou had a beautiful trans companion for a couple years there in the early seventies, and then had a brother/sister set of lovers at one point.
By the by, a lot of glam era movies and video have been making it to the market lately including a live concert of Lou in Paris from about '73 (so Live Animal era) doing hard rock versions of VU songs. Also the Ballad of Mott is supposed to be great, and Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies tour film came out on DVD.
I've got Marc Bolan's mid-seventies kids show (Marc) on VHS and you can get it bootlegged on DVD. There's a great compilation of Dolls video available and the Musikladen twofer of Roxy Music (w/ Eno) and T.Rex is fantastic.
