Who is that Latin diva? Looks like a cross between Gary Glitter and Little Richard! Fabulous.

Oh that's wonderful! I'll tell Kerry! If you want, search her on myspace (kerry koch) b/c I think she has more info there & of course some personal info if you're looking to make more conversation. How sweet! I just can't wait to see it already! She did the other documentary that I mentioned in my blog as well.

Here's her page, you'll notice lots of Mozzer and related fan profiles and stuff. She bought a ton of my collectable Smiths and Morrissey vinyl years ago, so I forever admire her.

Lily is totally hot. The best is she doesn't need make up or much of it if so. She's just naturally beautiful.

Your Arsenal is amazing. I always only had Smiths and Mozzer stuff on vinyl and cassette which I don't really have much of anymore. I need cds! I really miss him. I'd love to hear Boxers right about now!

Oh, do some research and/or keep an eye out for a documentary called Passions Just Like Mine--a Moz documentary. One of my friends did it! She just started shopping it around a few months ago, I don't know the status of it now.

This is such a sweet, honest venting. I definitely encourage you to not give up and to be an honest man to yourself. Yes, things are hard. But so what, seriously.

Things aren't easy for me either but what can we all do? I wish you support where you can conjure it.

You're very welcome!

Good news to your work then. On the bright side, being alone and tormented at time produces the greatest artistic expressions. But stay out of the dumps!

I saw Zorn once....I used to work in a jazz club.

I want that sushi! Meow.

I got tickets to see Black Kids, didn't I mention them to you? They're blessing Tampa next month. They're playing Orlando, too.

orly?

I got my wish...Black Kids are coming and so is Henry Rollins...I just got tickets for him.

Agreed, Memphis Eve is like a cross between Tennessee Williams and Elvis which = uh_mazing. And of course whomever made this list is not familiar with Frank Zappa.

we got really good stages and theaters yet almost no one will tour this state, it's really bizarre.

Well I'm glad a native agrees with my confusion! It's terrible. My only guess is that Florida is just so big it's hard to decide what part to play but STILL, nobody comes and that's shitty. Total bummer.

I noticed the Black Kids (whom I lovelovelove) are playing their native Jacksonville in Sept but that's apparently really far from me.

Thank you for the compliments! I appreciate you liking whatever I type out.

I know, this picture is gorgeous and I'd never seen it before! I wonder how old it is. I have seen her live. I used to just like her but then when I saw her last year I swear I fell in love. Have you seen her?

God, Helen gives me hope!

I hope there are some shows, it's summer! Why won't anyone come here!?

shhh sometimes i am awesome yes

How are The Warlocks? I think I'm familiar with them but I can't be certain.

Where did Murphy play? Mind you I know NOTHING about any areas of Florida. I picked up whatever the current paper is with Against Me! on the cover and tried to get ideas about shows, found nothing, though. Please alert me if you hear of Cat Power or Black Kids playing ANYwhere....they're my only hope as they're residents.

Anyhow, my thoughts EXACTLY on Glamorama, YES! I almost put it away, I was very close to giving up. I still finished it in a few days, but it was a struggle at one point---at about a little past the half mark I guess. But I really thought it was very Fight Clubby.

I have no idea where I am--apparently New Tampa? Please give me ANY skinnies, that would rock! I've been here briefly and have seen nothing else apart from Mojo Books & Records (which is amazing). Oh and I've gone to the movies. I'd love to know of any shows or even coffee houses, anything.

Ahhh Peter Murphy, no shit! I can't believe he was even here!

Where are you in Glamorama? Because I had reached a point where I was considering giving up. I made it though and it's his typical...kind of unresolved, fantasy, whatever. I do love him too. My favorite. I just need The Informers to complete.

Things are good! Enjoying the Florida heat and my swimming pool. How are you?

yeh' the show was fucking great, so perfect.

where in Tampa are you, there's a couple of nice shows down there happening pretty soon...

as far as Ellis goes, he is great, just great but after a bit of reading you kind of develop this weird impatience thread, so the stuff you where into at first about his writing becomes irritating when you hit Glamorama. Very strange, I was over the book quickly but I had to finish it...it was hard, I had to make myself end it.
