"A Glam Busters gig is one of the highlights of the year ... everybody gets dressed up for the occasion, and the band adds to the atmosphere by wandering amongst the audience by virtue of their radio-controlled guitars and mikes. The band are now extremely well-known in the area, and played some of their very early gigs here. Dressing up is all part of the fun, and it's compulsory for staff!"-- Landlord, Cat & Wheel, Bristol

"Outrageous glam rock covers band with musical tastes & dress sense firmly rooted in '72. This technically brilliant but disturbed band spend as much time putting on their make-up as playing."-- www.entsweb.co.uk

"My son got so excited when he knew you were coming back, I had to give him extra medication!"-- Landlady, Riverside Inn, Cheddar

Lieutenant Stardust: 'Please Let me introduce myself, I'm Jean Claude Van Glam. My title/purpose in life is Stardust Media Manipulation Manager. Let me tell you how Lieutenant Stardust has changed my life and yours ... Certain bands are always associated with certain cities or towns - Liverpool had the Beatles, New York had the Velvet Underground, Frankie had Hollywood. Falkirk has Lieutenant Stardust - though sometimes they don't realise it. One day, however, the ever-youthful Mr Dust will in fact turn to dust, Chad Fever will have burned himself out, Boaby Rash will succumb to the Spinal Tap drummer's curse and Dickie Decibel will stand too close to his amp. What then? Who will future generations of Falkirk bairns get their rocks off to? Some say Mr Dust is already busy working on the problem in the labs below Stardust Mansion. No one knows what he's planning, but I've heard DNA and clones were mentioned. Or was that clowns? Anyway, who cares. Stardust will never die!' Visit their website.

Sweet FA: 'The sun's shining (today at least), lambs are frolicking, the sap's rising (oooer missus) and Sweet FA are Rocking!! We are looking forward to bringing the best of the Glam Rock era to a venue near you soon. The band can be guaranteed put on a show to remember and play an exciting selection of the very best music of the 70's whilst precariously balanced on the most unikely platform boots and dressed to the nines in outlandish stage costumes. Shrinking violets Sweet FA are not. So dig out your wigs and makeup, your flares and platforms, paint yourself silver and cover yourself with glitter - the time has come to witness Sweet FA assault most of your senses (they try and avoid smell!) as they perform the very best of the 70's 100% live and without the aid of a safety net. Magic will be weaved before your ears and eyes.' Visit their colorful website

p.s. Hey. ** Michael karo, Michael! Do I remember you? Ha ha ha, what?! You are .., how to put it ... unforgettable, sir. Yay about your new Mac and its local consequences. Yeah, that scene. Anyway, excellent. Hang out, yes, t'would be great! ** David Ehrenstein, Thank you, David. She is amazing in 'DotL'. I haven't seen that film since it came out, but I was pretty blown away by it back then. I remember Burgess Meredith being startlingly good in it too. ** David S. Estornell, Hi, David! ** Kier, K-Man! Oh, so that Azzedine Alaia guy really is famous? People there were acting like he was. Yeah, he made me lunch. He was very, very nice. Huh, I'll have to look up his stuff. Cool. Sure, anytime, about what I said. You being crushed and exhausted by the turn-down makes total sense. It's one of those situations where logic is no help, at least for a while. But you'll be striking out toward the future brilliantly again soon, pal. I'm sorry about the trouble with your brother. Yeah, Aspergers is very interfering, or it can be. I'm so sorry. Give it time, seriously. Hopefully a surprisingly brief period of time. Uh, the lunch thing was mysterious to me. Somehow he was drafted in to make me lunch by the curator guy. I don't know why or what the connection there was. I'll probably do some apartment decorating once the mess is fully de-messed. Right now, it's just practical stuff. Like I had to buy a little washing machine yesterday because the one the apartment came with is broken. Stuff like that. Other than buying that, I mostly worked on stuff yesterday. More ongoing irritating stuff re: our film with the producers' promotion team who are either massively stupid or liars, I can't tell which yet. But pretty quiet day, overall, it would seem. But today, who knows? I'll try to be exciting. Did your today provide increasing pleasure and happiness or interesting life details at least? ** Etc etc etc, Hi, Casey. Yeah, really bad and shocking about Chris Burden. Such a great artist from start to finish. And for me, being an LA guy who's very in its art world, Chris was such a big personal, physical, influential presence there. It's shattering. Yeah, I'm super busy in the best way. The new film is about a guy who wants to explode. Hold on, here's the nutshell premise: 'A young guy wants to explode. He's not suicidal. He has no ideology. He's not interested in "heaven" or in going there. He doesn't want people to misinterpret his explosion as a suicide. He doesn't want people to misinterpret the explosion as his death.' Great about your writing gigging. I'd def. love to read you on rap. I saw the Apu trilogy, yes, but very long ago. Long enough ago that I remember its greatness but not it itself hardly at all. Report back, please. Take care! ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. 'Artificial Womb' looks really good. And she got her funding, sweet! That piece idea for it sounds really good. The bit is being chomped. ** Keaton, Thanks. Really? I imagine you would like Burden's stuff, but what do I know. 'Titus 1999': I'm going to have to look that up. The syllables are familiar. ** Bill, Hi! Oh, gosh, my pleasure. I love it! It's not only super great, it's also really up my alley. Wonderful, Bill! Black, like a lot of the more interesting actresses from that '70s era, ended up being stuck with horror films as her work once Hollywood movies stopped being adventurously and intelligently made for a long time. She's incredible in those early films: 'Five Easy Pieces', 'Nashville', etc. ** Misanthrope, Oh, thank you about my GnR referencing thing. Only for you, bud. I can see how Cameron Dallas is very 'you'. Sorry to be crabby about his looks. His attractiveness is totally understandable. It has that 'freshly washed dishes' appeal. Oops, sorry, there I go again. Your neph' is a card. Do you know that term? Probably. Another one of those terms whose popular slang meaning makes no sense relative to the usual definition of the word. No, our film was rejected by Cannes, but we never really thought the film would get accepted. It was just, like, oh, I don't know, 'Hey, let's try to climb Mount Everest wearing only swimming trunks.' I know the Cannes Film Festival seems really artsy and daring in the US, but it's actually pretty old fashioned, relatively speaking. And we were, first, new unknowns, which Cannes does not like, and, secondly, our film is 'weird', which they only like when an already famous director goes weird. No big. ** Statictick, Hi, man! Great to see you, duh! Cool, really glad the Black and Kitchell homages had a good impact. Giggling, even inappropriately, is always good, I'm pretty sure. Don't ask me why, though. That's an instinctual opinion. I know, man, and continuing great endless hugs about Dusty. Stay strongest. ** Thomas Moronic, Hi! Exactly, about how Black's performances work in the lesser situations. Early on, the films were occasionally as great as she was. There's a cool vid out there somewhere of Black and Pfahler performing together, but I couldn't find it when I was making the post. Love to you! ** Right. You get an old, until-now-dead post today because I'm still behind on post-making due to recent traveling and general busyness. But it has its charms, right? No? See you tomorrow.
