Blah!

Woohoo! Dave!!! Good to see you! xxxx

I'd have to agree with everything you've said above, Dave, re: the music industry....there's a TON of talent out there waiting to be discovered by the industry (especially in TO as evident by the past 2 season of rockstar)...but there are so few labels willing to take the risk with new talent....we need more risk takers and trendsetters in the muzak biz who want to expose the world to new artists....enough of the trendfollowers and cookie cutter 'artistes'...thank you (& to Gilby) for taking exactly that kind of risk with offering to work with Dilana....now, is there anything you can do to help Jordis get her music out there?!?!...she is such a talent and i've been waiting to get more music from her...
much love to ya!

Silly mortals did you think you could hide from the darkside in another blog. THE DARKSIDE IS TAKING OVER.!!!!!!!!!!

Spread Entertainment Inc? Taking it all back? COOL!
Tell me where I send my resume?
:-D

Heard from a heavily tattooed birdy your back on CFR tomorrow!! I can't wait! Batman and Robin are back!!! (for a little while anyway)

Later!

Tom Green's looney tunes. I like that in a person.

Here we go again............ On with the DARKSIDE!!

TAKE IT BACK DAVE -

tom green's a FRICKEN legend get on tom green live ;p .

That's gonna be a helluva funny show tomorrow night... thanks : )

new post! yeah!!! looking forward to SRL!

Dave - sorry, this is unrelated but I left this message at your Panic Channel store site but don't think any one has been there in a while.

Would love to work on putting a merchandise program together for your Panic Channel store and tour. Check out my website - www.FixateStudios.com. I have over 20 years experience doing this. We've dealt with and know some of the same people in the industry but I'm hesitant to list them in such a public forum. You can probably guess who they are though by looking at my client list. You can reach me through my website if you're interested. Congrats on the band...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Dave, ok, the BAND does have the choice of who they want, but to steal money from people (text messages that cost)is a crime and a travesty. Next time, instead of us spending money and time messaging, just have your show, we'll enjoy the entertainment, let the band do what they will (ummm, TL said it's what the fans want. Uh, Ok)and we'll have nothing to bitch about. It'll all come out in the wash, when the CD's hit and tours start, right? I'll watch again next year, probably, but CBS won't get any of my money.....cause my vote really doesn't count, aye? Thanks for turning us on to some great rockers like Dilana, Storm, Magni, Toby and Ryan. I'll be looking for their CD's and tour dates.

Dave, just heard you should be on CFR on SAt night, will you have the webcam running?

C- , You are going to have to keep the darkside alive on here till Mon. or Tues. Gotta consert this weekend and I'll be away from the computer.

ALL HAIL C- THE DARKSIDE WARRIOR, QUEEN T AND THE REST OF THE DARKSIDE!!!!!!!!

GO DAVE - take it fuckin' back! We want fresh meat, not that used up freaky gnome to talk about. Hello again C & Hater it's nice to see the IQ squad in here. I was scared when I saw that ED pill was still around. Come to the DARKSIDE cialis, not the BACKSIDE.

Dave - in case you didn't read the last 1000 posts, the mind police have been busy trying to tell the rest of us how to think.

Im not sure Lukas was the right one. It sure would have been a refreshing change to see a chick(Dilana) front a kick ass rock band. But I guess he's got what they are looking for, we'll see ya in Phoenix.

Strangely the more I see people here bitching about Dave, the stronger my fandom does grow.

We'll miss you hater! It will be grim but we'll try to carry on in the name of independent thinking and all that's interesting. ALL HAIL THE DARKSIDE!!

Dave,
I agree with all the DIY talk and all that but for God´s sake... POST THAT DAMN LINDSAY LOHAN VAGINA PICTURE ALREADY!!

Thanx a lot!!!! :)

Love from
LF.

It's also too bad that a lot of bands don't have many venues to even play live anymore. There used to be tons of clubs in TO where you could see live bands, but now you have to look to find them and it seems like people don't go out to see live music (in clubs) anymore. What's up with that? I really miss the energy and the creativity. I'd love to see something along the lines of a Ministry again.

I think part of the reason that people don't go out is because the sound in most small clubs for live venues sucks.

Dave,
Have GREAT weekend and take care!
I must say (again) that I'm in love with that music (She won't last)...

I'm lurking - The Warrior will carry on in the name of hate everywhere!!!

Queen T. Hows it going my lady? I'm sure the darkside will be even stronger by the time I get back, with you and C- carrying on the good fight.

Hey Dave! I'm aware of Tom Green's internet show but I haven't caught it yet. I hope I'm able to catch the SRL tonight. Your sense of humor combined with his, it's gonna be sick...in a good way. Are you going to be a guest on his show too?
TAKING IT BACK
-Kim

I'll take advantage and post before the next 500 hits.

Dave, are you going back to Sunday 10?

Webcam/chat during CFR?

Calling up the LA Weekly Girls?

I miss all that..

MM- You know I'm your fangirl!

Dave, I think your plans for the new loft sound excellent. I wish I could do something like that! That would be awsome!! All the internet/technology...I'd be up for that in a second. Hell ya! Of course I'd have to win the lottery first..haha
Tom is funny...the dude cracks me up.
Can't wait to see the computer/internet goodies once you get it all set up in that loft. I think it's going to be kick ass!

Teresa & I seem to be just 2 peas in the darkside pod!!! So Hater does that make you The King, or just a knight???

Can't wait to hear it if you're going to be doing more of your own stuff next year. SRL has a really great and pretty unique vibe, it's funny, warm and you play the best music. You realise that it is an "almost" political statement Dave don't you.. :) Don't shy away from the word although I guess the connatations get distorted when someone says politics. Standing up against the status quo to bring something raw strong and fresh BACK to the people is kind of political, I think anyway. But fact is it is important what you're doing. I also think people love that you say you're sick of being spoon fed media bullshit and then you actually get on with doing something about it. Have a great weekend. Silky kisses.x.x.x

Thats up to the rest of the DARKSIDE crew. As for now Im just a squirrel trying to get a nut.

Come on, Fri., where are you?

TAKING IT BACK

I'm thinkin' "Dark Knight Hate" - It has a certain ring to it...

I just realized I have to watch "OK GO" when I get home. It loses something w/o sound!

As it's been said recently, there used to be creative bands, now there are created bands. It's a sad, sad state.

Just keep us posted on the happenings D!

What's The Panic Channel's air date on Carson Daly? Tried to get Amex seats for Radio City, 9/31, all sold out. Didn't see NYC on the original schedule. Hope there's a next time.

yeah, post that lohan picture.

Congratulations on getting your life back.

Enjoy -

(see ya in Loveland in February)

Sounds good to me C-

*waves to Junie* I'm here girl!!

Dave,

Firstly, great to see you back in the blogging word. You were sorely missed for the... two days (?) that you didn't post. :p I guess that goes to show, we're addicted.

Secondly, YOU are a man after my own heart. Major thanks and huge props for citing OK Go as an example of what can happen when a band believes enough in themselves to take a chance and do things on their own if need be. :) Became a huge fan of theirs recently and they are an excelent example of taking back the entertainment outlets.

Can't wait to see what the new Indie Artist contest brings. The last few I've seen were definately impressive.

Hope you have a good day, and have a great tour!

Much Love,
~Ali

oh dave i missed you posting yesterday.
i luve this project you are talking about today. just go for it. enuff said
luve erika

PICHE!!!!!!!!!! WHat UP...??
Hey you should go on TOm Green rock on that show as well. Did you see his pimp stick he was carrying around.

PEACE.
p/s Hey perfect time for that vac, If I were you I would start heading over to Hawaii.

I am obviously half asleep tonight, sorry. Just if you say you're not "hyper political" does that mean you would agree to being "political" to a degree? I read it as you saying that SRL (and the kick ass project next January) are not political statements and that's why I posted because it sounds like it's a personal act that expresses a political stance. Er, do I need to go back to sleep / shut up. A cup of tea is a good idea I think. zzzz Silky zzzzz'z. What's all the dark side stuff anyway? Does someone need a candle? A light bulb? A glow on the ceiling star thingy?

Hey Dave,

Can't wait to see TPC and SN in Toronto in Jan/07. Got my tickets and I'm very excited!

I

hi dave and fam: i love you dave and your tunes, mebbe i'll see you in vancouver

C - "Dark Knight Hate" is perfect!

and

Batgirl99: to quote you "I think part of the reason that people don't go out is because the sound in most small clubs for live venues sucks.

Posted by: batgirl99 at September 15, 2006 12:43 PM"

I also think you're right. But I come from a generation that loved live bands and the problem now is that it used to be cool to drive home drunk. Now (and then really) it's just idiotic. So going to a small venue for a little music doesn't have the same allure. In my humble opinion.

Noticed you played The Alarm on the last SRL.
Came accross this and thought you might enjoy.

Silky -

Back over the last 1000 posts it has come to our attention that many folks have fallen into two intellectual camps. 1) The free-thinkers, independent, sexy, don't need to kiss ass to be included (aka The Darkside) 2) The ass kissing but licking groveling mass of followers who need to be told what to think. (aka The Backside)

You can smell the backside coming. When it does, be prepared to be told what to think, where to kiss it and just who is important in this world.

Oh yeah, they'll tell you how to raise your kids too.

Dave - That OK GO video is the shit! Thank you!

For those looking for the Lindsey Lohan photo, Perez Hilton has it on his website. It doesn't even like a vagina though IMO.

Save the Internet: Act Now
http://www.savetheinternet.com/=act

important stuff, people - make your voice heard before you're buying net access from walmart...

Dave:

Great point about the lack of good music. Until the industry stops getting behind shit concepts like Supernova, truly deserving, innovative acts will continue to be overlooked. Great insight.

Too true! There are some excellent bands out there that never get the time of day.

I want to nominate my favourite kiwi band for Indie Artist of the Month. (yes they hail from NZ not Australia)

I went to one of their gigs and these guys fockin' rock!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqegKhKP4cY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EED8F7P_q4

And yep, Im a pround member of the 'Grow old disgracefully club" (a child of the 60's).

For all you non-antipodeans out there who speak funny, its prounounced the DATsuns (as in cat).

There's lots of good music out there, but for sure the industry won't invest in them until they've made their own name or they think they're a sure thing...

A good movie out to see is "Hollywoodland"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427969/
Ben Affleck is once again using his real acting chops... Diane Lane does good as well as Adrien Brody, who is just an awesome actor!!!

Plus a more political movie recommendation "America: From Freedom to Fascism (2006)"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0772153/

and YAHOO!!! SRL Indie Artist of the Month is coming back... I just think that is an awesome aspect of SRL... Let's see if it'll be a 3rd in a row that I like the best that takes the SRL Indie Artist of the Month crown!!!

buying net access from Walmart would be like buying Disney condoms.

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!!!
Hear ya on the small venue thing, my husband and I are going to a club to see some Sublime cover band tomorrow nite. But it doesn't sound as fun as it did when you could just get rippin' drunk and then drive home pukin' all over yourself!!!

Sup Sexy~

Hope your having a good one!!!

We miss Spread & Camp Freddy!!!

Kisses~

C - you make me laugh! Good for you getting out and not letting the daughter rule your life! One time I was too drunk to figure out the door knob thingy so I sat on the front step and banged my head against the door until my husband heard me and opened the door. Well you know, what drunk chick fell backwards into her doorway laughing up at her husband?? Yep. Fun times. I don't remember the band that night though. I like it better now I can remember who played LOL!

It always brightens my day to know I'll be hearing some sweet SRL in the near future.

Waiting anxiously for the club tour dates of TPC.
Have a great weekend Dave and Fam!

Love, Amber :)

KUDOS on taking it all back!!! All I have to say is we have this little thing, maybe you have heard of it, its called the 1st Amendment. Countless people have sacrificed their lives to protect that freedom and I believe, you and I and everyone else, should use it to it's fullest potential. Besides anything that let's us hear and see you Dave is O.K. in my book!! Keep up the good work! Got the new CD last week and have 1st Amendment~ed the neighbors to death with it!!! Love ya !!!

Teresa - LOL, yep, been there too!!! Both my husband and I, pre-marriage couldn't figure out the key in the doorknob thingy after a Disturbed show, took at least an hour, in January to get in the house!! Lesson learned: don't get drunk with the band!!! Unfortuneatley, we live in the boonies, on a lake, so we don't get out too much...My last concert was 'Tallica when I was preggers!!! Thankfully, the music was better live then the CD was!!

hi Dave.
I've seen the Loose Change movie twice, but never saw the picture of Lindsay Lohan's vagina.
can some one send me a link?

HAHAHAHAHA ... you crank me up dave...

Looking forward to SRL! You are so right. The lack of choice is pretty disturbing. Stuff is out there, but it is so deeply buried you really have to work to find it. Who has time for that? I wonder if one day people will pull away from the mass market stuff that they are herded into and realize that their minds are completely vacant. Dave, I think it may be too late though. It’s a conspiracy. :)

UH OH there's that word again..... conspiracy

Disney does condoms?!

Oh jeez, the "conspiracy" word again!! Please take it back!

C - you totally rock! I've never been pregnant AND I've never seen Metallica live. I live in the boonies too, but it's in town. Small Nothern California town. Miss the Bay Area and the trips into the city, but don't miss the teeming masses!

same here, but upstate ny...Tallica rocked live ALL the times I seen them - pregnancy sux but there IS a great outcome!! I miss being 5 minutes from a grocery store, but every trip to see mom reminds me why we live in the boonies and not in a city!!! But you are the one raisin' 4 kids, more power to ya, I can barely keep up with 1!!!

I take it back! I take it back! What have I done?!

Meribella- HEE HEE, it just got alittle messy last time that word was mentioned is all!! its all good!

I just seen that Lohan piccy,SHIT,it looks like she had a gangbang in the back of that cab!!

Hey Dave,

While the music industry can be great to you if you reel in the dough for them, it sure does spit you out twice as fast, doesn't it?

Anyway, on to the music... Indie, big label, small label, whatever, as long as it makes me MOVE!

Hope to catch ya later!

Dearest Dave,
Oh, how I've missed the pre-RS:SN blog. I'm without internet for the next few days, so if you could get today's SRL into rotation, I'd be eternally grateful.

Metallica!

Meribella - just teasing with you about the conspiracy thing!

Pinche DAVE!!!!!!!!!! Can you just let this post role to the 2000 comment range. We were so close on reaching that goal with the other post,, You better start packing your VAC bags.......:-)

See U brother!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW......."TPC FAN IN THE HOUSE..... BABE"

HELL YEAH!!

"If it feels like there is a shortage of great music coming out these days, it's not because the artistry doesn't exist, it's because the industry has failed to evolve with the times and is now stuck with throwing all their money at whatever they think is a sure thing."

Dave, you beautiful thing, I love you and want to have your puppies. Well I don't want any more kids so puppies it is.

I couldn't agree with you more about the state of music these days. I have had to retreat more and more to my old cd's; Catherine Wheel, Inspiral Carpets, Tool, Marilyn, Beck, Velvet Underground, New York Dolls, James, and Zeppelin keep me company more and more often. I'm glad you are going to do an Independant Artist of the Month. We need to hear something, anything fresh even if it is crap. So good on ya, mate!

Looking forward to the broadcast.

DEAR DARKSIDERS;
I am so proud of you all. You carry the dark tradition to its fullest extent, and your creativity knows no bounds.
I wish to extend high fives to Teresa, C, justanotherhater, Scott et al, and hope you bear no malice toward myself and Squid for the earlier identity switching swordfight near the end of the last post.
It began with my being "finished" rant, and Squid's "fucking baby" retort... it was a beautiful thing, and only we two know who was who.
Keep up the wonderful work.
A promotion is in order.
RT
(Assistant Darkside Overlord)

Teresa and C-,Don't worry, I understood you were teasing... and I've had worse! I was teasing too.

Dave,
I'm down with some booty shots of you, but I'd have to burn my retinas after seeing Lindsey Lohan's twat. There are just some things you cant UN-see...know what I mean dude?

Congrats on the real estate! New space is definitely a cool way to start your new year. Course, I consider the new year's start at Samhain, but we wont confuse the Xtians. They have a hard enough time knowing what to think.

Cant WAIT to hear Tom Green! He's twisted. We like twisted.

Flashing her Sekrit Darkside Sign,
Lily

LILY;
Blessed be.... Gods go with....and happy Samhain!
RT

RT - we love to see you and squid go at it no matter who is who.

Lily - flash back. (or is it flashback.. anyway, you bet we like twisted!) Ouch on the Xtian slam. That one hurt!

Oh I am so excited because I do not have to work tomorrow (sleep in) so hopefully I will be able to catch the SRL show tonight.

Love Tom Green he is fucking halarious, anyway I get what your saying and I agree with you. The Internet is the ultimate source for information and free open communication.

Have a good night and I hope to catch the show!

thanks for bring it to us.

Hey Samhain doesn't start for over a month. What's with that? Also Lily - I'm an Irish Christian so Gaelic is fine in limited doses (don't want to confuse me!)

Uh, yeah. Can we say pre-chosen?? Same thing Tim Farris said last year after RS INXS was over about JD Fortune.

Excerpt quote from globeandmail.com: POSTED ON 14/09/06

Yesterday, Lee said, "I realized he {Lukas Rossi} was the guy for us the very first day I met him."

Producers selected the 15 finalists from 25,000 contestants from around the world over months of auditions.

Thank you Teresa.
I leave Humboldt alone now; it was just too much fun, and I think it only fair that Squid and Bloumeister joust next time out.
Which nut did Tom Green lose, again?

Teresa,

Yes, I know its still early for Samhain. The cooler weather always gets me all geared up for it. After a while your body just attunes itself to the energy in the air.

I've always wanted to learn Gaelic but I've heard its a very difficult language to master.

And honestly, I'm not really slamming Christianity. I have plenty of Christian friends. Frankly I dont think ANY religion has a lock on The Truth. We're all either a little right, or we're all wrong. Personally I like to think we've all got parts of the bigger picture down and you really only grok it fully when you die.

But hell, what do I know. I'll just go back to my tree-hugging....

Caught dancing nekkid around a bonfire or two,
Lily

That would be Drew Barrymore RT

B A ... the flawless response!
Your check is in the mail!
You, too, are promoted.

RT - The darkside loves you - no worries and you are definately at least THE DARKSIDE PRINCE OF HATE!!! You and squid are much too funny, as I said before he certainly stirs the pot huh?

Lily - I'm with you. We all will learn from each other in the end. So you have cool weather too? Ours just started yesterday, and today we had hail. Expecting snow tonight. I have veggie soup on the stove and chicken in the oven so it smells like fall in here!

MESSAGE TO BLOUMEISTER;
I'm taking the night off, brother. (every time I blink I see the word "turd" flashing against a dark background....)
Have a nice evening; I will check in tomorrow to see what wonders your mind have birthed.
MESSAGE TO HUMBOLDT;
You have proven to be a resilient and amusing "opponent".
Please be careful with the Meister... he is a rather large person.
MESSAGE TO DAVE NAVARRO;
Yeah dude... all power to indie musicians... major labels can't pimp worth shit.
Cheers,
RT

awww, thanks C -
(warm fuzzy evil feeling)
We are all high ranking creators of rancor, and it is truly and pungently beautiful.
Have fun,
see ya's down the dark road.

Teresa,
Its been cooling off at night here lately but we're still in Air Conditioning Weather. I'm in east Tennessee but try not to hold that against me. I'm originally from Detroit...try not to hold THAT against me either LOL.

Its 81 out right now and gorgeous. We're in for a beautiful weekend for all the crackhead tourists to enjoy. I work in hospitality so at this point of the year I'm totally drained on idiots from out of state who cant drive and generally act like asshats. Yes people, its a Black Bear..we have those here...and nooooo...you cant pet the cute lil cub unless you want Mama Bear to rip your arms off while she's munching on your brains.

Thinkin' some folk NEED to be bear kibble,
Lily

RT, have a great night, I'm not far behind you. So very well said.

Teresa, SNOW, are you joking??? I may live on the mountain, but I've got at least a month for snow!!!

LOL, I sent you that picture, and now I sent you the one of Creed!!!! Hey Dave,
You know last session of RockStar, Well finally I get to see INXS YAY!!! do you know JD's phone number??? lol, kidding!!

OMG Lily, I just laughed my ass off!!! Yes it is a shame that people are THAT stupid!!! And may I welcome you into the darkside fold with that little spewith of hate!!!

C;
Just caught that last post on my way out... yes, please nominate Lily into the fold! (I don't think the others Darksiders will mind it being done in their absence)
I just finished my background check on her, and she is more than worthy!
:->

I LOVE the idea of Spread Entertainment. It sounds like exactly what the internet should be used for. I would love stuff like that(not necessarily yours) to evolve so you can get musicians in one part of the world who could never afford to, or are restricted from travel playing with musicians from a completely different culture, in real time and available for everyone. If anyone knows of anything like that alrady I'd love to hear about it.

Here's the link to the nasty alien vagina shot of Lindsey Lohan.

P.S. I forgot 2 say how sweet & cool it was when you said, "This has been the best summer of my life." I am so happy 4 you Dave, you deserve happiness. We are all glad 2 share it with u, at least a little bit! ---peace---ck

Posted by: Carly at September 23, 2005 04:24 PM

********Remember last year ^^ Dave, I hope you have had as much fun as you did last year!
peace,
clk

PS I couldn't agree more with you on your post today! bless ya~~~~~~~~

Wonderful to hear about the SRL loft thing and Tom Green and You that should be a bad ass show and hella funny. Best of luck to you! Look foreward to hearing the show!! (Pet got vaulted into the 20th cenury and finally got cable internet!! No more buffering YAY!!!)

Peace and Love

C,
awww thanks! I've got plenty of angst to share. Read my blog for a day or two and you're bound to be entertained by my observations of humanity.

We can only hope the Apocalypse comes soon to wipe this planet clean of the idiots who are sucking precious oxygen from the rightful heirs of the planet.

Scanning the horizon for the 4 ponies,
Lily

DONE!!
Kay gotta go wash the stank off my kid, it is amazing how grubby they can get in a few hours!! Will actually be worse, I hear her out playing in the mud with daddy!! Darkside help me! May return after she is down, if not, have a great night TO ALL and I will return tomorrow freshly full of piss and vinegar...or hate and venom!!!

I totally understand Lily -I lived in a town just north of Yosemite National Park until last February. Our sport was in watching people slam on the brakes when they spied a deer munching on grass on the side of the road. Now we live in extreme northern California, and I have 4 of them in my yard right now and I live in TOWN! Thank God for the internet to keep me dialed in. I miss the Bay Area sometimes. Adieu to C - have a great evening.

Hey Dave, I dare you to post the one of Creed nude I sent you, if you got it already.

Inre: Loose Change; all I can say is WOE !!! That is some footage. Filled with freaky insight. Brings back a nightmare so many of us... All of us... are affected by. Love you Dave. Love a Peach <:

Have a EARWORM!!! Its Lukas Rossi's " Headspin "

Fuck, Supernova is not gonna regret the choice!!!! God Bless .....

Yeah dude that OK GO video is pretty bad (meaning good). We saw it last night on MTV and I told my boyfriend "Dude u need a gimmicky ass video like that to get on TRL". Because that song's pretty good...but that video is amazing.

I am also completely mesmorized by the Fergie "London Bridge" video, which is also bad (meaning bad). It's such a train wreck, it sucks me in for the full 3 minutes every time. And then I can't get the song out of my head.

Dave have you seen this? Whats up? I feel real bad for Lukas's g/f...

http://us.video.aol.com/video.index.adp?mode=1&pmmsid=1717311

DAMN!!!!!!!! TO MUCH TALK ABOUT THE DARKSIDE HERE. LET JUST TURN THE LIGHTS UP IN HERE :-)

EVERYONE HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND.....

Oh my God - are we going to hear about Luckass all night? Do we have to put out our eyes to avoid the drivel? I mean honestly folks... oh never mind. I'll go back to reading about the Pope putting his foot in his mouth regarding Islam. Love to all..

Ok checked out the "Teahouse of the spirits" DYI video over at Yahoo...
Pretty cool!! I can tell some of the overhead shots of you on stage was filmed by the camera guy next to me in the balcony at Avalon!

Ok so the strict "no camera" policy that night was worth it ;-)

hey anyone know what time dave goes live tonight? tried in the srl chat room and got smart ass reply.

Afternoon Dave. :-) Hope you’ve been having a lovely time and catching up on some rest after the recent end-of-show insanity. LOL A loft? Cool. :-) Awesome, dude—it’s fantastic to have more rockin’ stuff to look forward to in the New Year. :-) I *am* a lot more political than I’ve hinted at, here. I’m Canadian, but anyone who mentions the name of a certain south-of-the-border President in my presence will get an earful, for sure. ;-P I’ve always been involved with peace activism, social justice issues and environmentalism—that’s just me. I’ll keep that (creative stream of expletives ;-) ) for my own blog, though, because you get enough action here as it is. My words and opinions—my heat. :-) That’s only fair. I completely agree with the “500 channels, nothing on� sentiment. There are very few TV stations, radio stations or programs that I will invest time or attention in… It says something that several of the ones I *do* have you involved with them in some capacity. LOL I am completely behind artists and entertainers like Tom Green and yourself who are using technology and multimedia forms to reclaim the soul of communication, education, independent artists and social empowerment. Seriously, thank the benevolent powers of your choice that there are people like you in the world doing your thing, because so many human beings are asleep on their feet like docile little sheep and shuffling zombies. Other people are awake but simply don’t have the level of international exposure and public impact that folks like you do. People are so numb from being overexposed to images of violence, suffering and oppression that it’s going to take something extraordinary to shake them awake and keep them moving. It’s difficult to reach people wrapped up in their own lives—it only hits home when people experience and feel things on a personal level. And then they tend to want to forget and move on, again, as soon as possible. I don’t know if there’s any true ‘cure’ for that… But, it never hurts giving people a good shot in the posterior now and again with an impressively large syringe. LOL ;-) Even I need a good boot on occasion and folks like Lukas and yourself have really done that for me, so thank you. :-) This is the most ‘awake’ and spoiling to ‘fight the good fight’ I’ve felt in a long time. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that it’s a lot of fun at the same time, too. LOL I’m always up for a good bout of ‘rabble-rousing.’ ;-) Although, to be sure, folks like you only attract the very best class and quality of ‘rabble.’ *waves and smiles* LOL Definitely peeps after my own heart. :-) Thanks for the SRL webcast—always enjoyable. :-)

Re:creature_feature at September 15, 2006 04:12
Yeah there's a heavily edited video going around designed to make Lukas look bad, but people who were there and saw what went down are starting to come out and refute it. Here's a couple of posts from Rockbanders

...PEOPLE ! The MEDIA that were around the afterparty are not paparazzi.
PAPARAZZI are uninvited free lancers lurking for pictures in un-approved places .
These photogs/journalists were sent there ( many free lance ) to get pictures and any dish that they could serve up.
The PARTICULAR photog/reporter team that captured the video and dish were ( in my opinion ) exactly what they needed to be to get their disgusting job done. RUDE, and PUSHY. They filled in the VERY LARGE gaps...to make their 'story' fit.
I found them to be TRULY DISGUSTING individuals and cussed them out several times that evening....
The writer in question tried to get info from me for over 2 hours, and videotaped me and my fan-friend, but all that I gave him was I'M HERE FOR THE MUSIC....LUKAS....SQUEEE...TOBY...SQUEE....( HAAAAAA...nothing that he wanted for his 'meal of misfortune'! ).
His intention was to get Lukas in a corner to ask inflamatory questions ( which was what he was doing to me ). My actions ( inadvertantly ) helped Lukas escsape from his evil grasp! BOOOYA!

He almost got his ASS run over when he chased Lukas across the street and jumped ON HIS CAB ...pounding on the back trunk as it drove off...

Then read this from ANOTHER person who was there and saw everything.

All right everyone. I can't take all the speculating. I am going to tell you this much. I know for a fact that things did not go down the way they are being portrayed. The video is heavily edited to make Lukas look bad. Some of you may not know me because I don't usually post in this thread. I am telling you as someone who lives in Los Angeles that I know what happened last night but I can't say more tha that.
-------------------------------------------------
That is not the way I saw it. The "what girlfriend" was TMZ's captioning. All Lukas did was stick his tongue out and give a peace sign to the camera.

Enough said. The video is twisted gossip made to be sensational. There will be no harm from it.

*** ANOTHER ITEM of interest ***
When Dave Navarro pulled up he exited his vehicle
and he made a quick Bee Line past the Press into the venue.

.....there WAS NOT a roped off 'PRESS AREA', as in most
events, so the press were 'jockying' for position. Some
( TMZ ) were more gregarious than others.........

When Dave streaked inside ( and I was watching this
very carefully ), he BARELY brushed the shoulder of
one of the cameramen with his left hand.

TWO MINUTES LATER this same cameraman was sitting on the
curb and rubbing his shoulder and contorting his face
as if he was SERIOUSLY hurt....

I'm waiting for the lawsuit so I can testify in Daves behalf....

Hihi DAVE .. (:
READ THIS!
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU! ABOUT:A VERY IMPORTANT THING!!

add me on msn. ;) you have my msn. :')
Hey see ya ..

"hey anyone know what time dave goes live tonight? tried in the srl chat room and got smart ass reply."

You missed SRL, it's over.

Dave.... Enjoyed you & TPC so much last night at Carson Daly. You are always so intense to watch & so mezmerizing. You peeked through the curtain before you went on & were just a doll. I was the third girl in.... You gave us all a thrill. Polite with a smile & wave & to top it off FOXY as all HELL....

Thanks

Dave,

what you posted about your plans with Spread Entertainment Inc. sounds awesome - I'll keep a close watch for updates, can't wait.

By the way, there are plenty good artists left (at least here in Europe, can't really say much about the US) - even Germany is witnessing the return of g'old hard & dirty music as a true craft at the moment. Just been to a concert tonight - small indie venue, but kickass rock, baby, and a whole lot of record sales for the band in question. They even paid for my drinks all night long, because I was taking pictures and they wanted them for their website - I'm not sure if that was a good idea, though, along with the drinks the pictures got more and more askew, haha.
Anyway, if you can't find any cool new bands in the US just say the word - I'll point a couple of truly hothothot artists from Europe your way, they'd surely make great artists of the month ;)

Anyway - keep it all up, love yer work, yaddayadda (no, I mean it!).
Oh, and please get that spread radio live show you're doing later into rotation - 4am European time is a bit late to listen a radio-show even if it's yours and on a friday night, haha.

crap!

did anyone catch the show? did he say anything about a band called soulchamp?

I don't think Lucas was the right pick for the band. I think Dilana would have been a better pick. I am sorry the show is over. I love watching what you have to say each week. And I hope that you host another season.

First post, Squidly?

TOUCHÉ!

How does it feel to be on top for once?

Dave tell me true!

My pussy looks better and hotter than Lindsay Lohan and it does! Is that all the resume I need for a job at Spread Entertainment, Inc.?

Love
Candy Lips

yep, toms a superfreak alright. good ol' canadian boy who is always about 10 years ahead of his time.

and what's this about lindsay lohan having a vagina? lies. all lies.

Way to go Dave! Years ago I used to get so peeved at the radio stations with their lousy redundant playlists. I can't say it's gotten any better over 20 years later (I'm an antiquated rocker!). I can't say I'm a fan of Tom Green, but anything that goes against the corporations for the sake of the people and the free world, is fucking a ok in my book. And you reminded me - I fell asleep before Carson Daly last night and forgot to tape it. Suck!

So Dave, what happened to taking a vacation and where are ya off to?

Oh and for those who want the Lindsay Lohan twot shot is at:
http://www.hollywoodrag.com/index.php?/forums/viewthread/708

Tom Green is a total fuckknuckle.

Yes lets take it back whooo hooo ..i think what has been odne is great ..if ya cant get out to be seen one way make sure your seen another ..

How sad that there are so many superficial people in this world. Hiding their feelings below the surface, so nothing can penetrate their fantasy world.

Hi Dave!

I agree with everything you said. It is awful that so many bands don't get a chance now days just because people are not willing to take a chance on them.

Also, I have another topic for you. I know this is going to be so off topic from what you wrote but maybe not fully. Have you seen the previews for "The Black Dahlia" movie? It is being billed as the "untold story" of 1940's murder victim Elizabeth Short (whose tragic murder was never solved), when infact it is based on a fictional novel that even the author will tell you is fiction. I think it is awful how the media is insulting a dead woman's memory by claiming a fictional movie as a film about her real life just to get more people to see it. What do you think? Have you seen the same previews? If so, do you think maybe you could mention something about it on one of your radio shows? I myself totally understand how someone would make a fictional novel/movie based on Elizabeth Short (who suffered a tragic murder) but to claim it as real just to make bucks? That is just going too far, you know? Just thought it might be an interesting topic for you, not that you need my help because you are doing great on your own. ;)

Rock on.

Skunkass Tossi? Yesterdays news, I think it has all been said in the 1000 post blog. It's SuperOver, so lets move along folks, nothing to see here.

"I'm totally drained on idiots from out of state who cant drive and generally act like asshats. Yes people, its a Black Bear..we have those here...and nooooo...you cant pet the cute lil cub unless you want Mama Bear to rip your arms off while she's munching on your brains."

Im hearin' ya girl! I used to be a tour manager and I fined anyone who asked a 'stupid passenger question' For example: "Can you tell me where the toilets are here?" "Um, I could be wrong, but Im pretty sure they will be in that building we are parked RIGHT NEXT TO that says 'Toilet' on the side of it. That will be 20 deutschmarks, thank you"

They only ever did it once which was a bit of a shame really, because I used to put the fines aside and put them into a bar tab at the end of the tour. The bastards learnt too quickly and there was never enough in the fine jar for all of us to get totally fucked up.

My advice - fine the fuckers, they will soon shut up and engage brain before opening mouths. Better still, encourage them to pat the bears.

Damn, I wished I hadn't looked at that pic of Lohan. Turn away people while you still can.

g'day dave

Mrs. Meat,

I used to work, ever so briefly, at a place called BlackBear Jamboree. ~shudders at the memory~ Its one of the many retarded dinner theaters in this town that bilk people out of money.

At least once a day I'd get some idiot asking me if there were REAL bears in the show.

Sure, bud. You sit there and enjoy your chicken and rib $34.95 plus tax dinner and just a mere few feet away you'll be entertained by real live dancing bears! I assure its perfectly safe!

Honestly...some people should NOT be allowed to procreate.

NOT from the shallow end of the gene pool,
Lily

DON'T SURPRESS THE HATE!!!

Lily - we used to have a saying for those sorts:

"they forgot to put their brains in their suitcases when they were packing"

It about sums it up really, but what I'd really like to know is are they like that at home or does their stupidity gene only surface when they go away.?

SRL is rebroadcasting now from today.

TAKING IT BACK!!

the darkside?? are we 12?? and really, can one call themself a king when their kingdom only adds up to three? i think not.

amen dave

you couldn't have said it any better than that.

peace

What junebug said!!!

Hey Dave and to everyone reading.

I'm truly getting fed up of the bashing regarding SN's pick. Let's face it, if he was the one they were looking for in the beginning, let it be. The guy is entertaining to watch.

Regardless if it was Dilana or Lukas (which by the way either would have suited the band and both were my choice from the beginning**LUKAS the favorite) we finally will have something different to listen to then POP and junk HIP HOP on the radio.

Finally a possible stepping stone to the when people actually played their instrument. My biggest regret is not buying the tickets prior to the decision. Now I guess I'll have to sit on the side line. Would have loved to see you perform Dave.

As for the incident outside the club... all I can say is...people get a life and leave his laundry alone...

CHEERS

Teresa thanks for the clearing up the darkside confusion I was suffering from. I don't have any kids for now - just cats thanks. Can you send me a deer over please? I live just outside a big city here in the UK. If we want wildlife we turn our TV's on or look over the fence and check out what the neighbours have spawned. Silky.x
