News: Some stories are worse than others, the thoroughly repulsive Jackie Siegel taking a picture of her 18 year old daughter’s casket while sipping an iced tea is psychopathic in its coldness. The “Queen Of Versailles”, who is in a reality TV show about the building of her husband’s estate, has admitted to having little parenting skills, but this is beyond anything we can consider decency. In a cleavage bearing mini black dress, while kids around her smile at the camera, while her teenage kid is being buried, is just incomprehensible. At least hide your indifference. The smug inhuman waste of space should be ostracized from society.
Recorded: The four songs remixed, of Bjork’s Vulnicura (listen here) has been in heavy rotation Especially Mica Levi’s take on “Lionsong” which Mica has dubbed a karaoke version, with the vocals removed and just the strings so you can really hear the. But the other three songs are equally wonderful and if she decides to release them (this is Part One -all the songs will be eventually remixed) I will definitely buy them I might add that if Bjork decides to play around town this winter you can count me in.
Live: Belle And Sebastian were a bore last night, but who cares since the Tomas Doncker Band are continuing their Thursday residency at The Classon Social Club in Brooklyn tonight by performing Big Apple Blues. Meanwhile, my friend Sherry Davis caught the Stones in Atlanta Tuesday night and I plan to post some photos as soon as she sends em over.
Death: I loved his heavy Metal album from a coupla years and am sorry say the greatest undead Dracula of them all, Christopher Lee died last week at age of 93. Personally, I would have wanted him to reach his centennial. More terrible news, the harmolodics genius jazz sax man Ornette Coleman dead at 85. We won’t see his likes again.
