Yay
To The World! I today celebrate my 1-Month Anniversary of
for Dead
Man's Bones!
Let's Calibrate this joyous FACT in style by me, Vrind Les, being
back in touch w/ old pal Vrind Lex!
Aka Alex Kooistra. Special aka Prof. Visvogel.
Fab friend(ship), v. unique fella! We first bump'd into one&other
@ D'r
Gaat Nix Boven Minerva. Who, btw,
have one ruddy fugly website! Both of us were there
busy attacking graphic design in our own wicked ways. Yet
mutual professors somehow saw it appropriate to single me
ouch for my creative colleague as THE
example of a 'young dog that goes about his recalcitrant designing
ways in the right unfashion.' Oh, such nerve!
Re-Lex!
Needless 2 say we both soon quit that Groninger Academy, &
instead hung out/worked together a lot in 1992-94...
'Corpus Interruptus' art collective (w/ Mandrake,
of course!), discotheque murals/plafondals, Halloween party
design, art expo'ing, enz. ... Alex, of course, these days's
still @ it in Leeuwarden/ Friesland/
The North, having made quite a name for himself —while
I, off course, faded into roblivion; 1st in Arnhem, &
eventually in da land of golden opportunity & adventure.
Les Not
Forgette, Tenslotte! dat 1other —and practically life-long—
best Frisian Friend is enjoying much, much better —not
to mention relaxter!— health these days... After some
post-teenage yrs rollercoaster-of-a-ride! Happy for
ya —& yars—, man!

TiP From Friend Fedor, For all yer Adam Ant Fanatics still out there tege beter wete in... Above's Adam's Uncle, Allen! Uncanny
resemblants, innit?
Ant Music For '66 People!
Note to be confused with Alan And The Ants, from way when when
'Adam' & Ants temp. reformed w/ one Mr. Partridge for a singer! Sumthin' 'bout a tour of Norwich, 'n' all that wave...
K, that was actually a pitch —oh, if only!— I'd come up with for a new
Alan Partridge TV show series, yrs ago.
Others Candidates Antcluded: Alan Of Troy Alan The Family Woody Alan Towing Me, Towing You Abbacadabra One Flew Over The Partridge's Nest Monkey Tennants What the Beeb Do We Know
Ah (aa), looong story; Maybe I can find it somewhere & post it. (Or
remake it up)

Earlier Today I Asked DanWas) —of Sartain fame— if, w/ 'is 7"single releases of recent times, we could "now expect a whole album some time soon? 'Dan Sartain L!VES', or something along other groovy lines?" And I quote:
Dan:Was) Yeah man, I have a bunch of stuff to release, but it's
taking a while to compile it all. A live DVD with some other shit on it (still waiting on approval to use some of the stuff shot by other people), a second audio disc with a bunch of
home recordings (some of which I like better than my studio recordings), B-sides, and other as yet unreleased recordings from 2001-present.
And of course the new record, which I finished last week at Toe-rag studios in London. I'm just waiting to get the mixes back from Liam.
It's getting harder, and harder to sell an album the old fashioned way, so we are really trying to put something together worth buying.
The record label has asked me if I would be so kind as to die, due to the fact that a dead artist sells way more "units" than a living one. I politely declined this request, and opted
to do all of this instead.
Got to go now, the brakes on my car have been feeling squishy lately, and I need to have them checked out.
Rob: Hmm, 'Dead Sartain' coulda've released 'Atheist Funeral', then. And 'LiVES!'
(posthumo[r]us) would be a perfect fit, too —needless to say feat. yet another album cover feat you killing yourself. (Guillotine,
anyone?)
Maybe you should fake your own R.i.P. (Alice could help you out), like that Moonwalker dude, but @ some time then 'Rise from the Ashes for the Ca$hes'?
Dan: hahaha!!
R: "May I quote you on dead?"
D:
Well Im no Groucho Marx, but quote away
R: Quonsider it dan!
So:
Heard it here 1st, folks —courtesy of The Dan himself! Stay tuned, meanwhile gettin' 'em 7 inches if you 'aven't already...

Dan Sartain:
"People from Alabama tend to play music
for other jerks with no taste. I don't."
Boy LesFan: YAY! Today, I was never this excited 'bout 'something fresh' [let alone
(un)dead] ever since laying my Nether-American ears --ago, inmiddelsch, some long, long years-- 'pon the rambunctious sights & sound o' Dan
painDu vinDan Sartain (of
'Lives!'-fame)...
For Today, I found me some DMB(! And that on the day my
American Gothic DVD set just arrived --One-season of one of the greatest TV series
ever, thank U v. much, which I'd totally forgotten about up 'till 2 days ago!
Oh, Move Over,: Matthews & Co., 'cos I sure sirree ain't talkin' 'bout that you and yours
lot! Instead, I had the distinct pleasures of stumblin' 'pon someones named 'Dead Man's Bones' ("sort of like Damon Albarn meets Tim Burton making serious
music inspired by children" aka "Disney haunted mansion, doo wop and 60s girl groups"), cheerstesy (TM) of Anti-/Amazon! Und wie Ich have mentioned before (pretty
darn sure), usually I am aeons late making any kinds of similarly delightful discoveries; in general, in fact, I heavily seclude myself from what passes for modern
'culture'/'entertain'ment. Matter of fact, I am still irked like heck that I actually am aware MJ OD'd on the un-healed world some time earlier this year! Anyway, but, still, yet this
time 'round I totally accidently caught on pretty early, if I may say so/for whatever that ain't worth. And also if I mayn't say so, but.
Name In Stone - the photo.
Naturellement, I iiiinstantly Tweeted (WoW! DEAD MAN's BONES:

Swell.

Now That I've already set a joyeux sorta mood macabre
here:
Couple of days ago I had this funchronicity (TM) where we were on the road, right, & I was, like, pondering/postulating, right, how this
corrupt ole broken system that 'they' are desperately trying to fix simply must come down (Oy, nuttin' new: I still remember I used to see
these 'robhecies', 15 years ago or so; visions of sorts in which I was trotting joyfully over the ruins of this collapsed 'civilization') - Next thing I know, I look up, only to spot we drive past a truck
that reads...
'Old Dominion'!

STOP! Hama time:

As A Matter Of Festive Fact, the new, bigger shop'll OPEN soon!
As a matter of fact 2) a large order of real Gatlinburgian fudge for the store (which BTW now also has a special Spices 'n' Tea room!) could be on its way,
today or tomorrow, from Gatlinburg as 'we' type(d) and/or you read (<present or past tense) this!
