FUN, FUN, FUN.
Yeah - I love doing CFR. Last night was no exception. Dave and I had Mr Billy Duffy in as a guest for the evening and it was business as usual. Subjects included masturbation and the 'map of New Zealand', James Spader, Girls From The Weekly', and Ireland. We had a lot of fun and played some cool tunes. Duffy pulled out some old Theatre Of Hate, I spun a great track called Screamager from Irish band Therapy? and Dave (ahead of the game, as usual) put it all into perspective with Dancing Queen, by Abba. Pure Genius!!
So -
Amber - I am 'Old School' Ali G. Been watching since I lived in the UK and it first came out. LOVE it!! And I dont know about the re-runs of CFR. I do know that www.totalrock.com (the UK's premier Rock Radio Station) air an hour of CFR every monday night at 11pm UK time. Email them and see if they will be airing the Xmas or New Years shows.
Jay - My session work has been sporadic (as I am always working on a band of some sort) but I have written and recorded with Robbie Williams, Ashley Hamilton, played on Tommy Lee's new album, worked with Michael Des Barres nd Perk and Chaney on that Eve Of Destruction track, did the Ryan Starr stuff, played on some Cindy Crawford infomercial music.....I dunno, its too hard to think back!!
Jezzi - I have the Exies CD in my player right now (although I just have I-Tunes loaded and playing all day long. I picked up the guitar when I saw the Sex Pistols on TV and realized I could be getting laid if I had that thing around my neck! I met my wife in a bar in LA. She says she knew that night that we would get married! My favourite cuss word is 'Disco' and you better ask Dave again where we first met. He actually remembers better than I do!!
To everyone that mentioned doing a CD or a DVD of the benefit show: Its actually not possible, as all the guests need to get clearances from their managers and labels, and that can be a LONG process. Because of the amount of guests that Camp Freddy has, it just isn't possible to arrange. It's tough enough getting all the clearance for the Camp Freddy album (hence the time its taking to make the damn thing!) I think what we will do is a limited edition tee shirt - if there are any left after the show, we'll sell them on the Camp Freddy site.
And great question D-Wez. I chose to not regret anything, so I would say that my long journey through the drugs and addiction played a part in where I am now. I couldnt be as motivated, as honest, and as greatful as I am today, without having had the experiences that I had for all those years.
I hope you are all happy with these answers. I love letting you guys know about stuff. Always feel free to ask. I havent found anything (yet!) that I refuse to answer!!
OK - Its back to the studio computer again. I'll see you lot next week. Check out the Freddy Mash Up pic!! Rock meets Hip Hop - Morrison meets Tone Loc!! Have a great day folks.
Peace
Billy

That was a kick ass CFR last night. Got to hear my man Billy Duffy--that was incredibly awesome (Thanks Tina for representin'). It was a nice welcome back from my great vacation in Florida. Sucks to be back in grey PA. And back to work...
Since grad school is going to be on hold for a while, I'm thinking about moving to LA and becoming a "girl from the weekly"...any thoughts?

Hi Billy
Was listening with my better half last night, and he came to a vodka induced conclusion that english blokes who have lived in the US for a while start to sound like Dick Van Dyke, in Mary Poppins...
...sorry, I thought I'd share! :)
(Dave Navarro step in time, Billy Duffy step in time, never been a reason, never been a rhyme, 70's disco step in time)
Oh, and also: picture the scene
RP: No turn the telly down, I want to put CFR on, apart from the funny chat, they play some really cool tunes.
Dan (m'honey): (Halfway through the show) - hey isn't that "Dancing Queen" (giving me one of "those" looks)
Peace to you, we ended up staying UP ALL NIGHT (which incidentally is the name of a very good Razorlight song)
Thus I am drivveling on and am now off to bed.
Night night people

CF Radio was hilarious, although I'm still afraid I'm going to have nightmares of Cantrell, Navarro & bathroom stalls, or Duffy dancing around to Abba. =:O
I'm out of the loop on the map of New Zealand thing. Anyone care to fill me in?
Billy, you & Jennifer are too cute!
