WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?

ThailandChrist, its Saturday again.....that week went quickly. In fact its nearly 2005!! This year seems to have flown by. All the Doheny and Camp Freddy activity has just been a blur. But its been SO much fun. Building Doheny has been an amazing process for us - to have put the guys together and to hear the songs come out so well is just an amazing feeling. We've done some pretty cool shows this year and I think we are all proud of Doheny's first 12 months. And I am delighted that you have chosen to join in from the ground floor. Having the websites has helped the family atmosphere no end. This blog really will come in to its own next year when we will hopefully get on the road a little bit, and start to get around the country. Thank you to everyone who takes part here.

Today is another fun-filled, thrill-packed, too-good-to-be-true episode of Camp Freddy Radio. I believe we have our Rock Star drummer, Mr Matt Sorum, with us today. And the Billy and Dave tag team will be in full effect. What I need you guys to do is call Indie and request some Doheny. Watching It All Burn spent a couple of months on the playlist, but its about time we had another track on rotation. So get dialing, and ask to hear us.

Yes, we will be filming the Key Club show, and I am sure that either Karen, or White Pony, will host a few clips if I ask nicely. Give me a few days to edit a couple of clips together, and hopefully we will be able to share a few moments with everybody. I'm really looking forward to the show. California STILL hasnt made it into the set, but we will be doing a brand new track called Does It Really Matter - I love this song.....fast, anthemic, noisy rock and roll!!

Todays pic is a random that I stumbled across from a trip to Thailand a few years back. Dunno why I chose to post it - maybe cos I'm needing to take a holiday somewhere warm and distant.

So I want to leave you with one of my strange and wonderful questions!! Lets see if you are all thinking clearly on this Saturday. If you were putting a small time-capsule together, to be buried and discovered a thousand years from now, what what you put in it, and why? Have fun and see you all here tomorrow.
Peace

Billy

Billy,

Time capsule related, the one and only thing I'd include would be a copy of The Sex Pistols "Never Mind The Bollocks".

It changed my musical life and continues to be the most influential record in my collection to this day.

Happy Saturday to all,
Jay

Excited about CFR. I will try to call in and request some Doheny (and maybe some Cult too...) I'll be in chat with the rest of the monkeys. As for the time capsule, this is a tough one...so many things I could put in there. I guess I'd have to go the music route and put in a copy of the Cult's Love album. It changed me in so many ways..and I'd love to know I made a Cult convert 1000 years from now...

Of course, I would host some clips for you. :-)

Posted by: Karen at November 27, 2004 01:45 PM

Billy, have I told you lately how wickedly sexy your intelligent questions are?

Time capsule..mmm, ok, just so that people that opened it had an idea of what 2004 was like, there would have to be reality show clips, some of vh1 and E's infamous lists, a few sports stories, like Kobe and Shaq, and the Basketball players vs. Fan brawl...

on the political side, perhaps a list of the boys that were killed in Iraq this year..some op ed pieces on Bush and Kerry..

as far as artistry..hmm, my fav album this year was Genius Loves Company by Ray Charles and others..I'm sure there were more

and on my personal preferences...some audio of Doheny and TPC of course

HEY...I was trying to email my request to Indie 1031 using their link, and it failed, maybe a coincidence, or a subversive plot to keep listeners from hearing Doheny....I smell a revolt!!!

Okay--so I had fun listening to CFR...but I have one question...who is François??? I called in and someone who I assume was TK told me to call in after the show and talk to François and I said I would cause I speak French..(and apparently so does François)...But who is he?

Posted by: Julia at November 27, 2004 08:32 PM

Billy~ I was trying to phone CFR tonight, and I'd get through to the states, cos i got the "you have to pay for this call in an american accent", then it rang and rang, and would just hang up.
:(
I kept phoning though, and you guys were saying the lines were open, or no one was calling, and I was trying to. O_o

Wanted to say hello, and tell you the 13 answer. I know the answer! :)

And tell you, that you guys were being naughty little boys tonight, and I was going to spank your behinds! :D

I was in chat too, so now I am a monkey! :P

Good show.

Oh yeah and the IM to CFR wasn't working either. :(

Posted by: ylais at November 27, 2004 08:42 PM

Put G W BUSH in so we can get rid of him now, and a warning. :D

Posted by: ylais at November 27, 2004 08:43 PM

CFR was a blast tonight! What I could hear of it anyway, it kept cutting off on the internet. I missed probably half the show.

Thanks for taking my call. :-) I didn't think I would ever get through. I still can't believe I did. Then after I hung up, I realized that I was on live radio all over L.A. and the internet... after hearing myself on air with the 3 min. delay. :-)

Have a good one - Billy

yeah, when you guys get a chance during a commercial break or something you should check the computer, a bunch of us were IMing.
It's quite hard to get through on the phones.

Isn't it a bit weird for you when the 67 people or the folks from here call in? Having all these online people that you don't really know kind of following you around? I really don't want us to come off as a bunch of stalkers or something. Please don't think of us that way, we just like to participate.

As far as what I'd put in a time capsule goes, it would be photos, my journal, and if big enough a bunch of my favorite CDs and a portable CD player with many batteries since I figure in 1000 years there will be new music technology and electrical outlets and people will have only seen a CD player in a museum.

oooh, Billy, don't be scared of us, we are not only stalkers, we are demanding stalkers as well!!!

I didn't want to come across as ungrateful, I love that I won the passes, upset that I can't go, excited that I have the chance to send Mortisha and Bluelizard in my stead...

Just, I am quite addicted to talking to you boys on Saturdays...however crazy such convos get...the book, by the way, the first one that I discovered my page 23 theory, was not Montgomery Wards catalog, but the Godfather....Sonny and Lucy...I believe I was 11 at the time, repressed Catholic girl, but the theory has held true in many trashy romance novels, the sex usually starts on page 23, give it a go...

It's been great keeping up to speed with the goings on win Doheny, and many of us will continue the ride from the ground floor (remember the backstage pass / guest list us when you do finally crack the UK, nudge nudge wink wink).

I've still only heard Drive Me, Watching It All Burn, and from the website's early days, Time and Take My Eyes. I keep kicking myself when I miss CFR, but with time differences and stuff it gets a bit difficult. It's a pity the CFR shows aren't archived on the Indy site, but ah well.

Time Capsule: A jar or marmite, just to see if that stuff ever actually goes off. A CD, so future peeps can see what albums used to be released on in 2004. And a moon rock so they know what orbited earth before the inter-galactic starbucks was built on it.

hey billy and all,

Great show last night, funny stuff. I agree with the others, I hope we don't come across as stalker types. We really love you guys and your music and want to participate. Also, for me at least, I've met some great people here and I also come here to chat with them.

My time capsule: I'd start with the documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, then some books - Lord of the Rings again (the movies are awesome but you have to read the books) and all the Michael Slade books. My fav CD of the moment is Dead Men Walking, Live at Leeds, so that goes in as well as some Cult Cd's and an MP3 player with all the Doheny tracks I can get (since they don't have a cd yet). Being Canadian, I'd put in a couple of tapings of This Hour Has 22 Minutes and Monday Report to show we did laugh at ourselves and others. ;)

hugs,
tina

Hi everyone! I was soooo bummed that I had to miss CFR and chat last night - I just wanted to cry like a baby. And we've finally turned the corner and become stalkers and I missed it? Figures.

And I agree with Kim on continuing with the wristband/guest list/ticket giveaway thing when the band finally makes its way East. That would be fun.

Posted by: linda at November 28, 2004 06:45 AM

I missed it all too Linda....and yes, I was bummed.

Stalker status? How sweet... lolol Goal #1 achieved. ;-)
