PRIVATE !

Private is a Danish band with a severe 80's sensibility and a sick sense of humour...actually, they look pretty Goth which is hilarious when you hear most of the music... Actually, They remind me of Army of Lovers ( whom I adore ). My friend Milty just said they sound like nails on a chalkboard, but what does that bitch know? (I kid! ). so....If you enjoy Repetitive, 80's synthy Euro-cheese, with artsy/tacky/ridiculous videos ....then you will enjoy.















KILLER ON THE DANCEFLOOR ( randomly impaled girls! Slashed throats! yes ! )


CRUCIFY MY HEART ( see - out of nowhere fierce black diva at 1:39 )


SECRET LOVER ( check the awesomely ridiculous rap at 1:12 )


WE GOT SOME BREAKING UP TO DO ( cheapest video of all time? nice clown car! )

NEW Pet Shop Boys : Love, Etc

Great video - haven't decided if I love or hate the single, though...

The Cramps' Lux Interior - R.I.P

One of my favorite bands of all time is The Cramps! - their front man front man Lux Interior died on Feb. 4 of heart failure. He was 62. Their music was an interesting mix of sex, death, punk and rockabilly. They might look a little goth - but they really weren't - Goth's don't have a sense of humour like the cramps!
Interior and his fabulous guitarist Poison Ivy Rorschach were happily married for 37 years.
Rest in peace, Lux!

birth, sweetie

PSB + Brandon Flowers & Lady Gaga

After 25 years in the music industry, British group the Pet Shop Boys were honored with the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award at the February 18th BRIT Awards.
Below is a the 10 minute medley they performed. They are joined by Lady Gaga and Brandon Flowers of the Killers. it's rather fun but I think something was up with their guest's mics.

and why the hell isn't "Thundarr the Barbarian" on dvd yet? you can find the shittiest 80's cartoons on dvd nowadays but not Thundarr? and hey, it was pretty shitty, but it was awesomely shitty. Craptastic, even. I'm waiting, hello?

F13

the friday the 13th remake:
maybe I'm softening in my old age but I really liked it.
I liked that jason moves quickly and that he wasn't some lumbering overstuffed zombie. I like that the cast you think you are stuck with for the entire movie is killed off before the credits even roll. I like that the actress playing Mrs Vorhees only got a minute of screen time instead of having her embarrass herself trying to fill Betsy palmer's sweater...err, shoes. I like that there was some hot man-flesh to go along with all the fake titties. I even like the ridiculously obvious suprise ending because at the end of the day, even if it is a michael bay cash-in, it's still a fiday the 13th movie and somethings are not debatable.

we are seeing it saturday afternoon, isn't that what boyfriends should do on valentine's day?

at the end of the day...

here is what I think about the state of my employment industry at this moment.

How's that for some pleasant imagery?

Charlie's Very Late Holiday Party

charlie's annual post holiday party - they closed the bar and everyone that worked there invited their closest pals - it was a lot of good people ( and a couple stinkers ) - but mostly it was a big drunken mess, but a marvelous time was had by all. and yes - that's Jeff & I singing "I got you babe". it was cute, I think. Ok, I don't really remember that part of the evening...and there was an even messier after party at doug's house - which I don't recall at all except for flipping out about my missing camera which was shortly thereafter found in my back pocket. the best part of the whole evening though was the drunk stumble home to Jeff's which was all of 2 blocks.

Ocean Shores & Such

Dragged Jeff to Ocean shores last weekend for Weez's birthday. the Family also dragged all their Significant others: Jeni & Michael, Weez & Michael and Heidi & Joe. Weez rented a great big comfy house and we sat around and ate and drank. a lot. these pics are obviously the proof. there was shopping and a group trek to the beach. and kite flying. and cake and amazing breakfast and dinners. and weeping to that damn sigourney weaver lifetime movie! and hot tubing and odd deer sightings in the front yard. honestly, jeff and I were in the hot tub saturday night but I couldn't even enjoy it because I was sure the three mask killers from "the starngers" were going to come walking around the corner at any moment. and I won't even go into the "getting the lube off the wooden bed frame before it stains" adventure. a marvelous time had by all, I believe.
