615

oh yeah and im a 616- when at some place last night gettin somethin 2 eat(the name escapes me!) i left wendy and tareesa(say it like that honest!)to have a fag and what do i do lock the car and the keys inside.

615.

Hi Billy, have a good day in the valley. I can tell you more on 615~ And no matter how many times the attn. told me it happens, I was still embarresed he had 2 help me. I mean, how many gd parking structures does Costa Mesa need anyways? I was informed there were 5 prking structures right there, wtf? At least I remembered the number on the space. peace. Billy, that show was spiritual~ You, & Jonesy, Dave, Matt, Macy, Steve, Chester, C.C., Scott and more could not have rocked harder or better!!! Thank you to Billy and to Paul, both of whom may it possible. peace. ck

We're class all the way - we took you to the IHOP, Paul. Only America's finest, and one of the only places to eat I know is open at 4AM.

I know you & Dave were only kidding around on CFR, it was all in good fun. Sorry I have such a filthy mouth!

Thank you so much for the Camp Freddy show, it was unbelievable! Nice to see some familiar faces... the usual suspects, and some new ones. All I have to say is Mountain Song. Mountain Song! As always, you're the sweetest.

617.

hopefully wendy 10 minutes is gonna upload a shit load of pictures soon-lookin 4ward 2 that!
off 2 the rainbow 4 me now....time to get fucked up in a english way american style(that makes no sense i know but it sounds good!)

p.s. we were noisy in a good way, I am thinking. U must see and hear Camp Freddy as soon as possible!! :)

Afternoon Billy & Morrison family. Movies. Grudge 2 was good, I think you'll enjoy. I'm hitting the Prestige today, from what I hear it's brilliant.

One question... can we get Chester for ALL upcoming shows? yeee gods, that man is amazing!!!

Hey Paul have fun! You know the paparazzi charmed me and u in2 a photo on the red carpet, what a Hollywood Holiday you must be having! You deserve all the good times. Try not 2 get into 2 much trouble @ the Rainbow! J/k, Have Fun~ C.k.

Ok Billy you KNOW Sue, MB or myself will beg for a NYC show at least once or twice a month on this blog ;-) If you don't ask you won't get...
NICE TV set up in Casa Morrison. I know when I'm in Cali who's doorbell I'm ringing with a bag of microwave popcorn and a couple of DVD's.
Thanks for a little bit of the show, you guys KILLED Highway to Hell! I'm surprised they didn't make you wear a hardhat in your dressing room (safety first!)

Ok I'm bummed you guys aren't doing the Sin Jyn Smyth movie. That must suck getting called in for all these projects and meetings and half of them don't pan out. How can you ever schedule yourself? I mean you could agree to 10 music projects and either all 10 fizzle or all are "a go" and then you over extended yourself.

You and Dave were HYSTERICAL last night on CFR even though you were both exhusted. Dave's webcast...was...well typical Dave. Do you ever look over and think "Christ, there he goes pulling the gym pants down again! Must I look at this??" LOL

Have a GREAT week!

Hi everyone ! Paul I am glad you are havinf a most awesome time.

I went to see The Prestige today. Absolutely freakin' brilliant.It has two really good plot twists plus David Bowie. Don't miss this one.
Much Luv, Terri

Thanks for thinking i'm funny!!!!! The door is always open for a cuppa and a natter at my house, we have shares in PGTips(one of the best brands of tea there is)! I don't know if you have the time, but i have uploaded 2 vids temporarily to my myspace page, if you fancy a nose. They are of my 2 yr old, being possibly the worlds youngest The Cult fan in the world, shes a bit of a music fan. the rockier the better, just found out shes an Anthrax fan too. Any news on the UK gigs yet? Hope all is well at the Morrison house.

Ylais, i can't get a message to you, tried but it won't let me! Thanks for the message.

Hi Billy. I thoroughly enjoyed CFR last night. You two have the best chemistry. And for what it is worth, I love the British. Any country that can produce porters and Monty Python is ok in my book. Plus the accent is just sexy. I mean with the webcam up I would have to go with Dave (sorry) but if it was on voice alone...it's all you baby.

One thought - do you think one reason that you and Dave get on so well is that you both tend to be a bit OCD...just a friendly observation. :-)

Have a great week everyone,
~katie

A Free CF show at Christmas time?
There is a Santa Clause. :-)

Hi Billy and fam. I am now called the 10 minute girl. That's because I always say 10 minutes and it takes like 10 hours. Anyhow pics are finally up

http://www.flickr.com/photos/wendybird/sets/72157594340735603/

It took me a little longer than expected. Hope you guys like them.

-Wendy

Paul see you in 10 minutes.

i have one question for you. ok we played brass in pocket in show like a month ago and we never ever ever thought you guys would play it. but on the chorus the lines theres nobody else here no one like me. what is the chord there is it G or B minor? when we played it in the show everyone argued over this shit so much the whole band. i cant figure out if its a G or B minor. i tried looking friday it but i could nott see. soo yea please help me out

AMAZING photos Wendy! Thanks for posting the link.

Alec - its a B minor mate. But leave the root B out and let the A string ring open as well as the high E string. In other words - the A minor shape, but up two frets! Everyone else can wake up now. Guitar lesson is over.
B

Dear Billy,

Still enjoying your blog. Wish I could be in that part of the world to see you play. Sounds fun! Thanks for the warm welcome.

Susan Anderson.

Wendybird, how do you take such great pics??? the most i can seem to do is a blurry mess most of the time.........

Oh and Happy Birthday to me!!!!!!! I have started on the slippery slope of old age now..........

Yeah Im still around mate! Been ridiculously busy... but Im still haging around.
Hey I know that you and Dave (moreso Dave than you) are big Killing Joke fans... I got a call from Paul Raven last week! Seems hes going back to the studio after seeing the world with Al and the Ministry camp. You should have him on CFR... hes funny as hell with some great stories!

All the best!

Dennis

Happy Birthday metal, Hope you have a great day.

Metal..Happy Birthday!

Paul...I told you they were great girls, glad you were able to hook up with them!!

Alec..Thanks for thinking of me on Friday, it was good to hear your voice, sorry I couldn't make it..

to the rest of the Morrisoners and esses...haha..Have a great Monday
love,
jezzi(fighting the fights worth fighting)

Hey Billy,

The other night on CF radio Dave asked about whom he would rather hang with a porn star or a playmate. I liked your answer.

Why must one have had to live in hell to be cool? A person that never did drug can’t understand the meaning of life? Can’t understand suffering and pain?

Maybe I misunderstood his reply to his own question or the question for that matter.

Thanks,
Matt S

Great pics Wendy, as usual! ~ thanx!

What a Camp weekend for me - Camp Freddy on Fri & Camp Teddy on Sat! Both RAWKED!!!

Thanx guys for putting on such great shows!
Made me a very happy camper! rofl!!! I know, that was bad but I just couldn't help myself!

Hi Billy,

we are two huge Camp Freddy Fans from Germany and we are constantly reading your blog (and Dave’s too) and listening to Camp Freddy Radio (your German accents suck!!! *lol).

We have been to LA several times, and every time we leave, you guys play a public show there! Last year we had to leave a day before you played the Key Club. This year we had to leave a week before you were on Jay Leno. And we don’t even want to know what is going to happen next year…

As we know that you guys don’t do requests on your radio show, we are not going to ask for a specific song. Please feel free to play a song of your choice for us. We wouldn’t even care if it was Informer. :-)

Well, we hope you guys keep rocking forever even if we are never going to see it happen! (If you really play that show on Christmas, we will try to be there although we will probably fail miserably.)

Love,
Sherri&Terri

Wendy,
You take awesome pics! Keep 'em comin'!

Billy, You have probably answered this previously, but humor me. What does the tattoo on your back represent/say? Loved the last CFR, listened to it today at work. You and Dave will alway make my day go by a little quicker! Take care. NIKI

Wendy, I love your photos! As always, they are very good. I love 'em~~ It was cool meeting everyone at the show on Friday. Can't believe I almost didn't go, ie., 9 hours at work, long freaking drive, etc. etc., but I am SO DAMN HAPPY I chose to go!!!!! It was the best. Thanks again to Billy and Paul, you 2 are so thoughtful. Cheers!
peace,
clk

Billy, you said it best! your blog is such a stress-free all fun environment. i always feel a little happier after visiting here.

thanks for keeping humor in our day, you're awesome.

p.s - the last CFR show was one of the funniest (especially you reading the lyrics of Informer...). you could totally feel the good vibes!!

ok i'm done gushing...happy monday everyone.

Happy Birthday Metal!

Wendy , Thanks for most awesome pics yet again!

Hey Horror fans and Billy , Rob Zombie hosts TCM underground on TCM. He has had some really cool older horror movies on there. Check it out.
Luv , Terri

Hey Billy, Really enjoy reading the blog, just started visiting last week. I really enjoy it. At anyrate how was the Leppard concert a few weeks back ? You need to get Joe Elliott's ass along with Duff McKagan to do some Bowie songs at a Camp Freddy gig. Joe and Duff doing Bowie together would be killer. Have a good one.....Billy

I finally got to watch the you tube video of the week!
HOLY SHIT that was some creative stuff! A little monty python-ish!
I give it 2 thumbs up!

Billy, you kill me. So funny and nice. Thanks for the V-Blog. Did I ever tell you that after the first time I saw you with Camp Freddy at Irving Plaza, in Oct. 2004 that I thought you were scary?! You were SO intense on stage (we were right in front of you) that afterwards, when we were talking to Dave outside, if I'd have seen you I'd NEVER have approached you! Like Peebs always says, "WO!". I was soo wrong, you're a sweetheart.

Anyway, looking forward to the maybe someday return of CF to NY.

oh, my question: Do you have PS3 on preorder (not the blu ray), or do you get perks and have the hookup so you don't have to worry about that?

Love,
Sue

Wendybird...the best pic in the bunch. The B&W with Dave and the smoke. Dang...took my breath away. LOVE IT! All great but that one is beyond superb!

wendy you really need to upload that picture of me n lucas!!!!

nice pictures Wendy

Matt

WENDYBIRD RULES....END OF STORY!!!
billy...thankx once again for a killer v-blog....i've been a fan for a long time...but have as yet to be able to get down to so-cal for a CF show....so many thankx for all the hard work u do bringing us lot a sneak peak like u do....lookx like once again i missed another killer show....(u weren't kidding...chester wails!)....anyways long ramble-on longer....i had kind of an obscure question for ya....i always see you clean-shaven and looking pretty like u do....so seein' u in the v-blog lookin a lil scruffy/stubbly was a cool change of pace and made me think of this question.....how difficult is it to shave with your labret piercing? my lip ring's on the right side where i have no hair....but im curious...how do get that middle spot....shave around it? or do you have to actually take out the piercing to do it proper?
yes...odd question....but my inquiring mind wants to know....thankx man....
oh and once again my apologies mate (u know what i mean).......peace........UC13

Billy - the blog is ace, completely hooked and read regularly even if brain asleep at times and don't comment. Kettle definitely on for when you get your bum back over to the UK. (Are you having hobnobs with that?) CFR always greeted with delight - podcasts liven up dull ears on way to work and during lunch time. The US employs an entirely different concept of distance to anything here in the UK cos A - Z here mostly fits in the US's back pocket. I too really want to come over but will have to be next year. Something to look forwards to. Have a great week.
xx

thanks for the lesson billy. im still having a hard time with the holly thing. i need to go see camp freddy more often. watching my favorite band really makes me have fun like. that and playing music. i had the hardest night last night. but i listened to cfr. and you guys said its all a learning experience. but i used to believe in that true love bull shit like the movies. its crap. wow ok well i need to go. im glad i have a day of rehearsals and playing guitar and singing. see ya

Hey Paul,
If you are reading this and you want something to do tonight whilst in Hollywood, The Secret Machines are playing totally free tonight at Union Station. The only hook is one must take public transportation and prove it with say the 3.00 Metro day-pass. (just 3 bux) Above, is the bus schedule. It is so accessible for everyone, even for me being 8 miles away from downtown cuz it's freaking Union Station and ALL busses go there~~ Have fun if you go. Nothing beats free. Hope your trip is/was all you hoped it would be and then some. peace, clk

(ps,hey Alec, it was cool to meet u guys at the C.F. show. :)

The Secret Machines' quest for public transit
By Sandra Barrera, Staff Writer
Article Last Updated:10/21/2006 08:36:28 PM PDT

Among the Secret Machines' reasons for relocating to New York City from Dallas was to get away from car culture. So, when asked to help raise awareness about public transportation in Los Angeles with a free performance Tuesday night at the historic Union Station, Brandon Curtis says his psychedelic alt-rock trio jumped at the chance.
"The fact that it's normal for one person to get in a car and drive 45 minutes each way to work just doesn't make sense. It just seems like more attention needs to be drawn to mass transit as a possibility," says the singer-keyboardist-bassist, speaking by phone midtour from Iowa City about his upcoming Union Station gig.

Tuesday's free show is part of "Public Displays of Affection," which includes the DJ talents of street artist Shepard Fairey and an art exhibit of Angelenos using public transportation by celebrity photo-blogger The Cobra Snake (aka Mark Hunter).
