JD GETS FOUND, WE GET LOST!
I'm back!! And today is a special day for two reasons. One - Mr JD Fortune starts his new life as lead singer for INXS. And Two ..... the new season of LOST starts tonight!!!!! Well done to JD - Jen and I went down to the taping yesterday morning (at an ungodly 8.30am) and saw Mig, Marty and JD do their final songs. And I have to tell you that Migs Bohemian Rhapsody was just amazing. But JD is obviously the guy that fits what INXS were looking for, and he's the guy who steps into the Rock and Roll Circus. Huge congratulations to everyone who took part in that show, a big thank you to Dave and Kerry for allowing Jen and I to watch some of the tapings, and much respect to Mr Fortune, who got the job and just changed his life forever. Have fun mate, and enjoy every moment.
LOST, baby!! The second season starts tonight. Whats in the bunker? Who (or what) lives in the jungle? Where's the kid been taken to? Will Hurley lose weight finally? Why is there a polar bear on a tropical island? And what happens to all that Heroin that they found? These are the questions that keep me up at night!! I'm sure the 'cliffhanger' endings will continue to drive me mad, but I cant wait to delve back into the HD world of that strange island. If you havent seen the first season yet ......, er ...... well.....I have nothing to say to you! You fucked up! Get the DVD box set now, tivo the first few episodes of season two, and get through that box set double quick!!
Kate - Yeah. You heard correctly. That pair of CF Key Club tickets went for $1100. And while we are on the subject of the auction, I need anyone who hasn't yet been contacted to email me (by clicking the link on the left of this blog) and I will personally make sure that it is taken care of.
Simon - I am in the process of finding out about your pledge (which was very cool of you, by the way!) I will let you know.
Jay - I know you are starved for info! And everything is moving in the right direction. When its all ready to go, you will be the first to know. I am trying to get new websites sorted out (which isnt easy as I need all the old ones taken down/moved and I am in the process of changing server, and redoing this blog. The address will change, and eventually, everything (Camp Freddy, King Mob Music and 'anything else' I am involved with will all be available at www.billymorrison.net. BUT - this is gonna take a bit of time. I dont have a lot of free time to devote to it all. It will get done, and when that happens, I will be able to be clearer about what I've gotten myself into!
Bobbi - Check YOUR emails!! I have to learn to check that email account more often. Just took a break from typing this to check the hotmail account and spent 30 minutes replying to emails that were two weeks old!! Ooops .... sorry guys!
OK, so whats on the menu for me today? A couple of business meetings, a little mix work in the studio on a track I'm doing for that movie, Tripping Forward. Pilates this afternoon. A few phone calls about getting all this website stuff sorted out. And season premier of Lost tonight. Seems like a good day. I'm gonna load up on Starbucks and get started. Thank you all for your support and patience. See you back here soon. By the way, our very own Tina created todays pic - and I have to say ....."Big UP and MASSIVE respec' to her!!" Its awesome. Thank you Tina.
Peace
Billy

From your description of Lost, I will have to rent the first season - plus I don't want to have fucked up!
I expected to see you at the taping yesterday - I thought all of the top three were stellar, but I knew JD was going to take it after the past few shows. I'm happy for him, what an amazing feeling that must be.

Tickets for the CF show on ebay are so expensive. Winning them is another issue...WE SHALL SEE.
PS Billy how are the eyes?

I've been an avid fan of Lost from the season opener...I'm beyond thrilled it's in Season 2 starting tonight. What's with the big shadowy thingy that attacked Locke? It SCARED him this time..last time he thought it beautiful. Wanted to suck that guy down into the ground (into the bunker???)
Looks like from the previews Ms. Kate (my personal fav... bwahah) goes in for a dip in the bunker. And she doesn't LIKE what's down there. Is it the big shadowy thing that sounds mechanical (you caught that right?) This show has more "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT"s in it than the XFiles ever did.
Bring it!

Hey Billy,
agree - JD is the best choice.
MiG rocked BR - bet it was amazing to see live yeah?
Think Pretty Vegas will be the next single?
In case you're looking for pics for any upcoming Doheny cds (we live in hope) I took these last year at...Doheny.
Cheers

Hey Billy, with all this other music going on in your life, where does that leave doheny?

HIYA SWEET SOUL BROTHER! :D
HI Y'ALL!
Lost hasn't reached our shores yet. So I'm Lost. Oo
My show is HEX, which has just started it's new season here. Very gothic. I recommend it, if you like spooky tales and cinematography.
Not really spine-tingling, just a good story, in a great setting, and great characters. I wonder always what's going to happen next?
Exciting news about the website Billy!
Love the pic Tina. Does it come in desktop size? I'd love that on my desktop!
Hugs
Lisa

Tina, those wallpapers are amazing...some talent there

Hi Billy I keep forgetting to ask, where did you get the medallion?? I’ve been looking for one something like yours for a long time and every time I see yours I think damn it’s so pretty and shiny. (I’m not sure if I asked this before) I saw a silver one at Tiffany’s that’s kinda neat, but I’m not sure yet. I’m not sure if I want to go tiny or go bling, bling.
Anyhow, yay tina you used one of my pictures :D. By the way great Photoshop skills girl.
Although I thought JD was the best fit for the band and the better frontman I didn’t think they were going to pick him. I’m glad they did.
Have a great weekend.

...no doheny news in around 5 months...i fear doheny has died a slow and painful death...
Posted by: Nick at September 22, 2005 12:38 AM
Tina, I came on here to say how much I love all your wallpapers. Simon beat me to it! Thank you.
Thanks Wendy for some great pics too.
You're both very talented and inspiring. xxxx

With no information on Doheny in 5 months AND a new Pitchshifter tour next year, I'd say Doheny was definately out of the equation for the moment... A shame, but won't deny i'm looking forward to seeing PSI in Nottingham again!
