Nice Pontifications.

Good Morning Billy and every1! I am just listening to the rebroadcast again and it is even more brilliant than I remember! Love it. You 2 could get your show syndicated, it's that good. pEAce. ~~have a beautiful week all~

Or Thursday lunchtime if you live in Outer Mongolia!!

Hilarious stuff Billy!

ps, but I like that it is still a niche show, albeit all around the world, for "us." l8r.

Brilliantly pontificated Billy!

Hey Billy, I was really pleased by the time you took to discuss the music industry in the latest Camp Freddy Radio - keep pushing Dave in that direction; I would really love to hear more about how the development of bands used to occur. Also, as I listen to the podcasts on iTunes, my biggest request would be that even 15 seconds of the songs you discuss before playing be included. Capiche? Thanks, DP

Wo Billy how....philosophical for a Monday afternoon!
Actually for me it was the first time I heard The Ramones. My whole life changed.

Have a great Monday Billy and everyone!

wow~~!!! finally~~!!

thank you. i feel vindicated! why? i've been saying this same thing for YEARS!!!

that is EXACTLY why i started a myspace page and have been such a fan of CFR and everything you and navarro, etal have been up to...

again, many thanks.

-m-

aw, for some reason this post really struck me today. thanks, it's nice to stop and think about these things sometimes. for me, it was breaking the girl by rhcp. after i heard that, everything broke loose.

circus diablo should come to nyc!!! it seems all my favorite bands right now only play in la. sooo not fair!

great CFR show & great post. my moment was hush/deep purple - didn't know you could do that to an organ....(after the british invasion of course - yes I was THERE in Feb 64 for the beginning of the onslaught)
question: since music always cycles (now it's hip hop, then it was grunge or be-bop whatever), are you able to rely on that cyclic nature naturally without worrying about it?

This was just a class blog, all around. Great photography by Wendybird, with points from you to match. Nice!

ha ha nice one Billy!!!

You where talking on CFR the other week about myspace, do you have an account so we can add you?

Billy i have smoked so many damn cigarettes i cant even talk anymore. none the less sing!!! how the hell did you sing when you smoke? wel anyway to my point im trying to stop smoking but i was supose to sing on all the songs we recorded. but my voice is dead so will you come and do it!? hahahaha

Right on! Great blog entry.

I noticed that there are two Billy Morrison/MusiCares items up for auction on eBay:

http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=grammy+billy+morrison

Love the idea behind the Nixon watches:

"The leather used in this limited collection came from the jackets, pants and guitar straps of Alice Cooper, Chris Cornell, Steve Earle, Peter Frampton, Anthony Kiedis, Jennifer Lopez, Billy Morrison, Ozzy Osbourne, Pink, Steven Tyler, Scott Weiland, and other artists."

Billy- What are your NAMM plans? I'll be out there for the weekend, would love to catch a moment or 2 with you!

All the best,

Dennis

December 12th, noted logged!

Just found out from my buddy who is a location manager for films she's been asked to work the new Halloween film that is going to happen in my lil town (which of course hosted the original). And to be directed by Rob Zombie! I am so hanging out at the set!!! Bwahahhaha.

Kate...don't you think Billy should get a walk on role?!

hi billy, what you said about music is so true... it is personal and not everyone will like everything. I'm constantly search for new music and until the internet it was very hard where I live. I must confess I have found so many great bands on myspace since I discovered that place a few years ago I would never have heard of.

Yay for CFR xmas, I know you said it'll be available in the US, do you know if that means Canada as well?

Great thoughts - made me want to go listen to some new sounds. That's EXACTLY what I love about CFR and SRL - the undiluted mixture.
Have a wicked week all. Did you see Bond?!
x

YAY! New Camp Freddy track on my birthday :)

BETH! Great idea! LOL.. wish I could say I'll have my people call his people, but I can't... ah well. I intend on being at the shoots tho. Karen (my bud) is at every single shoot, it's in my hometown... oh yeah. Welcome to my lil town Rob!

Billy, when you left the UK why did you choose LA? Could you describe some of the main differences between your life in London and your life in California, did you have any difficulties adjusting, do you ever miss England? How do the people differ etc. I know I should go out there myself to check it out, I do plan to but I can't afford it right now.

*Rant*

CFR was immensly enjoyable, I learnt a lot about the music industry, but I think it's different here in England. It seems if you don't have a guitar, long hair and jeans that look like tights you wont go far. What was once the indie scene is now so mainstream it's going to implode with the amount of crappy 3 chord bands swarming the industry. It's become trendy, 'EMO'/'INDIE', everyone is listening to guitar based music and everyone is dressing like they're fav band. Don't get me wrong it's a good thing, certainly better than bloody UK garage! But the corps have seen the opportunity to make money and are just signing up every band around, result some trully awful music.

The thing I hate here in the UK, there are no bands that rock, you know what I mean. There are no proper bands anymore, charismatic mental frontman, awesome guitarist and hard hitting drummer. What happened to guitar solo's?!! There are no new Slash's..Navarro's..Morello's. You know big character guitarists, guys that inspire you to start playing. You play with these guys and you've got what I'm talking about, it's entertainment as much as it is music.

I was def born 10 years too late. I'm 20 now and wish that I was twenty 15 years ago to see bands like Jane's addiction, G N R's Nirvana and the Chili peppers at their peak. Bands these days are like Business men they know exactly what they have to do,how to act and what music to release to become huge. Bands these days don't take risks, they are very ambitious and are terrified that they'll mess things up somehow. Bands 20 years ago were crazy.... fights, drugs, girls and still hugely successful....it was Rock n Roll! Things have changed.

Ok rant over, I hope I made some sense.

Peace

Oh wow!! I am inputting this comment from my Playstation 3, staring at my television!! Now Morrison has even MORE technology to mess with!! OK - enough. I know it works. Gonna nip out and get a wireless keyboard for this, and then its off to Alice In Chains. YES.

can anybody remember the movie "bright lights big city"???? that is slowly turning into my life!
billy do you run ur xbox on 720 or 1080 and will you be goin to see the new rocky movie?

I'm wondering will Diablo be playing out anywhere during NAMM? Or perhaps you'll be running around somewhere in town, nudge, nudge, wink, wink know what I mean? lol

The music thing. I love what you have to say in this blog!!! Music has kept me going when nothing else in life has. It is a major part of my life, like air or water. What I love about it is that it brings people together that wouldn't normally associate and that's a beautiful thing. You're right, music is a very personal issue, like beauty in the eye of the beholder. But when something moves you, it moves you! The supreme inspirer.

~Muse ;)

Billy, it's so cute when you post in here with us regular folk.
I knew I shoulda gone to AIC tonight.

oooooooooooooh checking your site and playing Playstation 3? Now that's multi-tasking!
When AIC played NYC the first time they under estimated and played a venue too small so it sold out in 2 minutes presale about 3 minutes regular sale......came back and played a little bigger venue. Same thing. :(
