TRACEY THORN "OUT OF THE WOODS"

Posted by Timo |




Tracey Thorn, 1/2 of everything But the Girl, returns with her 2nd solo Lp, "Out of the Woods" on March 5th. It's an import, sadly - i cna't find anything about a US release.
I got a hold of the album( ssshhh ) and have been listening non-stop. It's mellower than the last few EBTG albums, but still has the electronic elements and tracey's killer voice.
produced by Cagedbaby and Ewan pearson, it has a delicious 80's new wave type feel. Lyrically, it's similar to some of the great stuff on "temperamental" - a similar feel can be found on "makes no difference".
Stand outs are "A-Z" ( vaguely about the abuse of gay teens ), Falling off a Log, By picadilly Station I Sat Down and wept, raise the roof and It's all true.
"It's all true" Audio below.

Pete Burns Sues Plastic Surgeon

Posted by Timo |






Celebrity Big Brother star Pete Burns is suing a surgeon because of a botched lip operation.The reality TV star and Dead or Alive singer claims the surgeon, Dr Maurizio Viel, made him look "physically repulsive" through his negligence.Side effects alleged by Burns include blistering, swelling and difficulty with eating and drinking.Burns also claims doctors have told him that the work carried out means his lips may need to be amputated because the damage is so bad."What happened to me after a series of injections was far worse than any nightmare I could have envisioned," Burns said."Not only was it agonisingly painful but it was physically repulsive in the extreme."It was impossible to lead any life whatsoever. I was unable to leave my house as I was so distorted with swelling and I might begin to discharge yellow pus that was coming from the holes in my face."The singer's lawyers have begun proceedings in the High Court against Dr Viel for what Burns claims has left him "seriously suicidal and depressed" meaning he "could have problems for the rest of my life".
Now, I Love Pete and I Love Dead or Alive, and I do feel a bit sorry for him but he sorta brought this upon himself. he went a bit out of control with the plastic surgery.

Something So Small

Posted by Timo |























a million years I had a speck of talent. since I'm very out of practice, i mostly think any artistic talent i had is long gone. my friend Pete asked me to paint a set of nesting dolls to look like the band "the strokes"

i was horrified with the request and took my sweet time. there were many do-overs and a fatal accident which sent me desperately scouring seattle for a new set of nesting dolls.
Here's the end result. i was expecting better, but because of my tremors I can no longer do extremely fine details.

But...I think they're sorta cute and pete seems happy with the results.

A Silly Little Urge

Posted by Timo |
























I have a strange urge to collect toys that my parents denied me as a child.


This is a stuffed star wars Chewbacca. I never had him. he was apparently hard to find or expensive. in 1977.

I've been trying to nab him off ebay for years but he's always either in terrible condition or goes for mega bucks. Someday all the other star wars freaks will have gotten theirs and I'll get my stuffed Chewbacca.

and then after 20 years of waiting, TanQ will rip his stuffing out.

Lily Munster, Dead at 84

Posted by Timo |





Yvonne Decarlo, best known as Lily Munster, died monday of natural causes. She was 84.
I got a dvd box set of the munsters when i was in iowa and my Mom and I watched the documentary that came with it. It was cool to watch the actors as they are now, like the older pic of Yvonne above. Now Yvonne, Fred Gwynn and Al Lewis are all gone.
Rest In Peace, Lily.
Munster's Revenge trailer!

Cuz I'm Gayer Than You

Posted by Timo |


I bought this recently. I haven't watched it yet but I remember loving this show when I was a wee lad.
Plus, I read the Cher autobiography when I was home.
Besides the gay thing, I love cher because she was on tv when I was a kid. same with Dolly Parton, Carol Burnett, Mary tyler-moore, donnie and marie. all that crap.
Love It!

last thursday I fell in the lobby at work. my left knee suddenly clicked and down I went.


All these people that were in line at starbucks saw and screamed and ran over. "Oh My God! Call an ambulance. Did yopu hit your head? It's a concushion!"


I didn't hurt myself and I stood right up. very embarrassing. the maintenance man said I was drunk. funny. Hello, Doctor?





Last night I was at UM's and we were working on the next satchel. I went to use the restroom and again, fell. I hit my back on the counter pretty hard but Istood right uip again. i left shortly after that and fell 3 more times going the 50 feet to my car. I called and left a message for my doctor as I was getting freaked out. I arrived home and everything seemed fine. I chatted with Kyle and Mer' and then get ready for bed. Doctor called and said go to the ER. so i did, where I was hooed up to machines and pumped full of liquid potassium and sat there until 6 am whern I demanded they release me.

that had to be the loudest ER i have ever been in. why do they bring the drunk homeless people in there asnd hook thm up to machines? "third time this week" the cute male nurse said to me. why even bother? retards!





I got home around 6:30 with a new improved potassium perscription and no new answers.
I'm picturing myself dead or in a wheelchar soon. ok, not really. the thyroid doesn't usualy kill people.





And then the specialist in portland that I was going to see saturday called and cancelled my appointment as he how has a surgery that day. to be resceduled by them asap. whatever.





so I sat home today. i did actualy get some sleep.





seattle is suppossed to get pounded with snow again tonight. Yippee.
