BLUE MONDAY

So Saturday night seemed to be a success. Its hard for me to judge, because I didn't really hang before or after the show, so I'm not sure how the vibe in the club was ..... but I know the Viper Room was totally packed, and I heard a lot of cheering!!! For us, it was loud, frenetic and hot!!! I sang a good show, and felt pleased ith my performance - I love that club. Its so intimate and the sound is always so good. After the show, I was outta there double quick time, hung out by my car with a few friends doing that whole 'dissect the show' thing for a while, and then home. Got to sleep about 3.00am, and slept for most of Sunday. And now I am back to normal on a grey, overcast monday morning in Los Angeles. (You could, perhaps, refer to it as a 'Blue Monday!!!!")

I am back to the whole Cardio/Pilates thing, so I have a couple of hours in the gym today, a few errands, and a nice dinner to attend tonight. The video from Saturdays show wasn't great, so I am afraid no V-Blog from that, but we always have the upcoming Freddy show this Friday. Dave covered CFR by himself this week (and did a fantastic job - the Podcast is now up for everyone to hear) but I will be back with him this coming weekend. Looking forward to that. Questions will be answered midweek ....... and as always, be nice, be safe, behave!!.

Peace

Billy

Glad to hear it went well. A quick question.........Do you socially hang about with Billy, Ricky, Jeremy and Brett when you are not rehearsing and playing together, or do you mainly just see each other when performing? I mean do you get up and say " I think i'll just pop in to Billy's for a cuppa?" or do you not have enough time for that?
Thanks,


Lara

Billy,

Glad to hear all went well. I would love to see you performe live! By the way will you be near KC anytime soon? I am new to your stuff & I am enjoying all of it. CFR, Circus Diablo, all of it. A group of us are going to see Dave's band in Chicago in Feb. Really excited for that. Looking forward to you & Dave back together on CFR this weekend. Oh, it is a rainy,gray & chilly in KC as well today!

Hello Billy and all! It sounds like the gig went over very well! Rock & Roll! You sounded so good on Saturday on-air with Dave~~ shalom, ck

--gloomy ass past 3 days....we shall see sun soon enough~~~~

Posted by: Carly at October 16, 2006 11:55 AM

Billy if you want to get out of a gloomy LA come East. It might be a little chilly but the sun is shining and the leaves are changing. As much as I hate to see summer go, fall is pretty around these parts. I just HATE what comes after that! Snow.
Any word of release dates or anything?

Glad the show rocked. I was hoping for a VBlog!

Hi Billy the show was great but I had a wretched time with pictures. I think I’m going through some funk, it couldn’t have been the drinks I only had two… anyhow I tried, and tried but kept getting blurry images. I tried changing lenses, I tried changing my settings, moving a little…nothing worked (I was even extremely tempted to fire off the flash but I didn’t want to blind anyone). Anyhow the few pictures that weren’t blurry are grainy as hell. I would have posted them on Saturday/Sunday morning but I’m totally embarrassed. Thank god there were lots of photographers there.

I think for the next couple months I’m gonna try to shoot as many bands as possible until I get it right…

BTW sue thanks but that pic isn’t mine :(

Posted by: Wendybird at October 16, 2006 03:14 PM

I'm lovin' the weather change. Bring on the fall.

I plan on at least 'hanging' out down in the OC this Friday. Dunno if I'll gain any access, but am willing to at least try. Where is it btw? The Jazz club portion?

Posted by: Kate at October 16, 2006 03:26 PM

btw= by the way :D

Posted by: ozmerica at October 16, 2006 04:24 PM

Omg I’m such a duchebag… I read what is btw instead of where is it btw… I thought it was odd that someone was asking what btw was. That’s what I get for reading comments and trying to work at the same time. (ducks head a second time this week)

Posted by: Wendy at October 16, 2006 04:36 PM

Hiya! I'm not following things too well here in comments..I'll blame the fact that it's after 2am here for that. Billy, glad the show went well. I was hoping for a vblog too. But you spoil us with those usually, so I won't complain.
You should have seen the webcast from this last CFR. I'm still mopping my brow.
Hoping you guys come over here soon.
Hugs
Lisa

Hey Peebs

Don't think I don't know whats going on between you and Uncle Creepy.

Later.

Love Paul.

Posted by: Paul sez fuck you at October 17, 2006 05:13 AM

And don't think I don't know what your entire purpose in life is...
Generally nothing.
Per usual.

So do you have anything of interest to ask Billy or comment to Billy? Didn't think so either.

Billy check that email too, my guess it's another fake since this is another troll from 6767 with no other purpose but to start trouble.

Posted by: Peebs at October 17, 2006 07:16 AM

Hey Peebs,

You break my heart.

Roses are red
Violets are Blue
come and twiddle my chest hair
and I'll *heart* you.

Check out my Valentine on myspace - for you.

Love Paul.

Posted by: paul sez I love you at October 17, 2006 09:09 AM

Hey Billy,

Great to read your blog.

I've always been a big fan of the clash.

Love Paul.

Posted by: paul sez I'm a fan at October 17, 2006 09:11 AM

The really sad part is troll, you have absolutely no idea what relationship Billy has with members of his blog.
Keep it up. This ain't 6767.

Posted by: Peebs at October 17, 2006 10:22 AM

Oh my God! For what its worth, here is my view on all things "post" related. A few months back, someone posted on here some really fucked up shit about me - PERSONALLY!!! Not only did I leave it up, but I pasted the content of the post into my main Blog, to make sure that everyone could read it. I truly believe that if you have a Blog on the web, then you cant pick and choose what gets posted!! I mean.... its a fucking Blog!!! THATS what they are for!!! Its up to everyone to play nice - if you dont - well, it is only the web. I mean its not like we are all sitting at a dinner table together. So far, I have seen nothing bad posted by anyone. I welcome everyone - that doesnt mean I welcome everyone (provided they all kiss my ass and write nice things about me) ..... it means EVERYONE. I can ask you all to get along - but its up to you lot to listen. My suggestion? There's enough jealousy, hatred and resentment in the world without bringing it onto your computer. But whatever turns you on ......

Peace

Billy

Billy, that is not the Paul from the U.K. that does your podcasting, it's some freak ass loser who has messed with every1 at '67 for some time. Just ignore the b.s. peace2all, clk

My apologies Billy.

I think you're totally cool by the way.

Many a Rockin night in Manchester did I have to the strains of the Cult.

Love Paul.

Posted by: Paul sez thanks Billy. at October 17, 2006 11:19 AM

Billy - AMEN TO THAT!! Very well said!

Posted by: C- at October 17, 2006 11:48 AM

Dearest Billy, I know I loathe it myself, but I must ask you what was the negative comment that you write of here today? Do tell if you don't mind too much.

Much oblige,

Hey Bird Flu preventative

Billy is referring to the minor disagreement between myself and Peevish -sorry Peebs.

Lets move on now.

Paul.

Posted by: Paul sez its over at October 17, 2006 11:58 AM

Hi Billy sorry about that paul thing and the cereal box...i roastin way too much rack...but its ok now... great posts if late

Posted by: leroy at October 17, 2006 12:47 PM

Billy - Just posted over on Dave's site about this as well. Knowing your love of good television, I have something new that you should add to the TIVO. It is Showtime's DEXTER. Great show!!!

http://www.sho.com/site/dexter/home.do

Loosley based on a Novel by Jeff Lindsay called Darkly Dreaming Dexter. Kinda Nip/Tuck meets CSI meets Silence of the Lambs.

Highly Recommended!!!

Posted by: Scott at October 17, 2006 02:19 PM

I completely agree with you Billy(and I am a Billy Morrison blog virgin) about not "censoring" blog comments. Not everyone plays nice but to delete all things different or negative...really wouldn't make a person better than the Bush administration. And who wants that? I guess that one can only hope that the good and the sarcastic will outnumber the rest. :-)

Thanks for speaking your mind Billy.

Thanks for speaking your mind Billy.

Respect.

Posted by: Marie Lennon at October 17, 2006 03:51 PM

Question for you Billy, straight up-
Do you think you bring more to the band than Jamie Stewart did?

Posted by: Ian Astbury at October 17, 2006 04:14 PM

My question would then be...what would be something BAD....hahaah

me, I'm getting used to be called childish, and desperate, and people that try to imitate me here do such a terrible job because there's too many of me in here


Thanks, Billy!! I love you!!
love
jezzi(Paul, embrace that love for Peebs that you try to hide behind humor and sarcasm)

Posted by: jezebel at October 17, 2006 10:08 PM

This is simply not funny anymore. It hardly was to begin with. Now it's gone on way too long, and this is not 6767, as a couple of other people have said. It's Billy Morrison's blog, as if you all needed that pointed out; and therefore your sarcasm and supposed jokes carried over from 6767 are not working on here.
Myself, I really take offense to it. I take offense to you taking the piss out of Billy by asking a question as 'Ian Astbury' for a start.
I thought your hang up, or beef was with Mr Dave Navarro; so I wonder why this stuff has now carried on over to here?
Billy, my apologies. I had to say something. I've really had enough. It's been going on for ages now, and a lot of us are feeling harrassed by this person, or people. (whoever he/she/they are..I don't even know)
It's gone beyond joking on a blog.
Love and hugs
Lisa xxxx

Posted by: ylais at October 18, 2006 07:21 AM

by the way, ignoring these people does not work. they then just up the ante, and follow you around the web, on my space, you tube, everywhere, chat, blogs, the boards..I'd outright call that stalking. And I'm not going to sit back and take it. No way. I'd appreciate it if anyone who knows who these people stalking myself and a couple of others would help us out, instead of the stalkers.
Apparently, no one, except those being harrassed, seems to think this is serious, when it is.

After what Billy has posted, continue with the nonsense and you are officially an asshole loser with no life. ty.

Posted by: Bird Vaczine at October 18, 2006 08:24 AM

see what I mean? it never ends. same person as usual. bird vaczine, any of the smurf IDs, paul sez, C_, etc. all the same one or two people.

It's okay, I won't bother returning to 6767, or the asylum. Or here if it carries on.

Posted by: ylais at October 18, 2006 10:02 AM

Billy,

Any dates for either Circus Diablo or CF in/around San Fran the week of Xmas? I will be in for a wedding & would love to catch a show. Really enjoying all of your stuff. Take care!

Posted by: merc957 at October 18, 2006 11:22 AM

Billy, great show last Sat at the viper room. you all sounded great and the vibe in the viper room was cool as ever. hey just wondering if you can get me and my girlfriend in to your fhow in Orange County on the 20th. i dont think you can but had to ask. anyways you kicked ass as usual. hope to see you friday night

Posted by: mblei349 at October 18, 2006 11:47 AM

Ylais - I am not a smurf, nor am I Paul, I am C-. I did not follow anyone here, I found the site because I thought Billy Morrison sounded pretty fucking hilarious on his show!

Posted by: C- at October 18, 2006 12:13 PM

Billy - you are such a sweetheart, thanks for answering my questions last week. Huge smile when I read your reply.
Nip Tuck is great schmaltz! I fell into it almost at the end of the first series and didn't have a clue what the fuck was going on then the mists cleared. It was advertised here with the teaser "is it unethical to make someone more attractive to sleep with" which is such a seductive line.
It sounds like you're too busy at the minute for dvd indulgence.

Did anyone ask you what kind of books you like to read? What's the last one gathering dust by the bed?

And have you got hold of Adam Ant yet? If he is anywhere in the UK still signing books it can't be that difficult surely? If anywhere near me I'm at the front of the queue - another total hero. And I'll take a print out of the page saying you wanted to hook up.
Silky.x.x.

Posted by: Silky at October 18, 2006 02:38 PM

Ylais, I have been at 6767 for over 2 and 1/2 years. And I have been here for almost a year. I am the good guys, u knew that right? pace is italian for peace.

Posted by: Kate at October 18, 2006 05:40 PM

BTW.. is anyone else having issues posting on Dave's blog? I'm getting some funky 801 error thingy.

Posted by: Kate at October 18, 2006 08:21 PM

I'm sitting in front of the pc, and just heard something that chilled me to the bone..in a GOOD way

(who da fuk iz tyler florence?)

Posted by: UC13 at October 18, 2006 11:53 PM

Hi Billy,
What an awesome show that was at the Viper Room. I had a blast!

I'm sorry that ylais, peebs, sue etc keep trying to bring dramas here from another site. Maybe you should delete their posts in future.
So far I have seen nothing from Paul/C-/smurfs, whoever the hell they are, as being bad at all.

This isn't about you and the people you have insulted and annoyed over at Dave Navarro's site.

This blog is about Billy, and if you don't like it, leave!

Love you Billy!
XXFFXX

Posted by: Friendly Fire at October 19, 2006 04:07 AM

What has Sue said on here so bad that you suggest she is banned, there is only one post on here from her, are you trying to goad her into saying something now?
Keep it up and I am sure ppl will soon see through your childish games.
David
PS the youghurt comments were noted on Billy's previous blog entry, was that not one of the snide remarks which was first bought over from another blog.

Posted by: Dave C at October 19, 2006 06:11 AM

Excuse me, I asked about the yoghurt.

If one of the worst comments on this blog is one that asks Billy what flavour yoghurt he likes,
I really don't know what all the fuss is about.

I'd also like to point out that Paul left it once Billy spoke his mind, it is Ylais and a couple of others who have prolonged it.

And so what if my blog name is Smurfette? Is Peebs a real name?

ROCK AND ROLL

Posted by: Smurfette at October 19, 2006 06:44 AM

Oh - and P.S David - its yoghurt, not youghurt.

My personal opinion is that people who can't spell should have their posts deleted.

But - its not all about me, its about EVERYONE.

Posted by: Smurfette at October 19, 2006 07:03 AM

Let's get this back on track a little. 6Billy, how do you go about deciding what projects to work on what to pass on? Do you go on your own gut instinct about what will best turn out or do you solely decide on what interests you most?

~ Ca

Posted by: carol anne at October 19, 2006 08:02 AM

We all know the yogurt comment was in reference to what the self-termed 'Darksiders' have been calling me. As in ylais sounds like a yogurt, and that I am used to treat thrush, etc.

So much for me biting me tongue, but the feigning innocence stuff is too much for me.

yeah kate that speech thing did throw me for a loop....didnt quite make sense....seeing as it happened after the fact...well neither did the hatch imploding yet noone died other than desmonds skivvy's....snicker.....perhaps the implosion caused some sort of time travel distortion?...i dunno ...that ones a puzzler
