Roll on 2006

It's crazy, it's controversial, but i've started a new blog.

tchickblog

It's new, it's neat, it's nerdy and it's never been seen .... yet ... well maybe once now.

Merry Christmas (I don't want to fight tonight)

Because there'll be no Ramones for Christmas this year, I got us the next best thing:



Classic Christmas songs done Ramones style by East Los Angeles Ramones tribute band, Los Ramons.

Of course they do 'Feliz Navidad'. They also do 'Drummer Boy', a carol whose provenance baffles me. Did beats really accompany the birth of Jesus? Really? Maybe I should have paid more attention in Religious Ed.

Anyway, have a listen here.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

With love from me (and likely from the rest of the S?ITYS crew if they dont get their blog on).

Dear Tommy Lee

You are undeniably hot





when you are not doing stupid things to your hair like this:



And you're hung. (I would post photos but figured that everyone's seen the infamous video, and if they haven't it's quite easily Googled.)

I was going to write that you are the worst DJ ever, but after thinking about it, you weren't any worse than a normal club DJ. On the plus side you did have a breakdancing midget, which was very entertaining - if only he kicked himself in the head Wee Man-style! That sort of antic is really funny. And I actually mean that.

It's not like I didn't know you weren't going to play a lot of wave-your-hands-in-the-air house anthems. And I'm sorry that your party was held in such a dive; the Loft's a hole with no character and no ambience, and your PR people could have done better.

So why am I whinging? I'm fucking tired this morning because I stayed up late watching you shake your bony ass behind the decks while someone else actually played the records.

Plus 50 minutes for Motorhead on Tuesday night, while you guys played for TWO WHOLE HOURS? Seriously, you guys don't even have 15 minutes worth of good songs - 'Shout at the Devil', 'Kickstart my Heart', 'Dr Feelgood'? Maybe 'Girls Girls Girls', and those on a nostalgia/ sentiment trip might plump for 'Home Sweet Home.' But that's it - maximum five songs out of a 20-odd year career.

Not that I saw your show; I left before you guys came on. One of the reasons I left was the disrespectful way you have treated Motorhead on this tour. Clearly, you and your 'bros' are surrounded by sycophants and kiss-ups who have protected you from the truth that your musical 'legacy' involves spandex and Aqua-Net. But no Motorhead = no speed or thrash metal. I'll even go so far to say that without Motorhead, the sound of rock'n'roll and metal today would be completely different But remove you guys from the musical gene pool and we'd have no Poison, Skidders or Warrant. And wouldn't that be shame?

Anyway, you couldn't compete with Motorhead, even with all the midgets, dancing girls, pyro and tittycam in the world. Motorhead are fuck off old. Phil made a few mistakes (but he was non compis when we left him at 6.30pm). And they didn't play 'Iron Fist', 'Motorhead', or 'Rock'n'Roll' (likely because they only had 50 minutes and no encore, which is the fault of your band). But that's beside the point - why stick around for Motley's exercise in inanity after one of the most amazing shows of my life?

So I fucked off next door and saw the Foo Fighters on comps instead. I don't even particularly rate the Foos, but I bet they were better than you. Plus there was the vicious rumour going 'round that Lemmy would join Dave on stage for 'Shake Your Blood', but 'twas not to be. But what is life without hope and dreams?

Sorry Tommy, I don't mean to rag on you so hard. I'm just really tired today. You're damn goodlooking and quite the porkswordsman from what I read; you're rich and lauded wherever you go, so my pissing and moaning is nothing. But I'm glad I got this off my chest.

With Love,
Countess xo

Did you know there are interesting things to put in your blog?

I'm absolutely burying time at a crossroads with a stake through it's heart today, aren't I? But check this:

Who's YOUR daddy?

Your Daddy Is Ozzy Osbourne

What You Call Him: Papi

Why You Love Him: He's the Mack Daddy

And you know it's righteous stuff


































I have waited 14 years for this.

Being underage sucked in 1991. Why didn't Freeza or Push or whatever lame-o organisation aiming to keep kidz off the streets and off the drugs and out of the maternity wards by promoting safe alcohol free spaces for them to rock out in arrange a Motorhead gig? Who actually wanted to see Frenzal Rhomb and Regurgitator, anyway? Or an abortion like Grinspoon? *shudders*

People with bad taste, I suppose. They're always spoiling things for everyone else with their populist demands for Bernard Fanning solo records and Green Day/My Chemical Romance tours.

Anyway, I am going to see Motorhead tomorrow night.

who said O Week was only for first years

I don't know where to start with this.

All i can say is that I need to share the pain.

A while ago, over coffees at Castros, someone asked Nick if he thought it was possible to drink two litres of milk without throwing up.

"Of course it's possible" says nick with a nonchalant wave of the hand.

methinks this classy little movie proves otherwise

(You'll need Quicktime to see it)

special huh?
