Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with Andrew, who
reminded that the things that I create are only made
complete by those who enjoy them. I just want to simply
say, "Thank You," to Andrew for sharing such
an important wish with me.
I've included a video clip of a song from the album. I
wanted to make Andrew a permanent part of history,
sealed up in distortion and megabytes of plastic.
Skold and I recorded him doing some back-up vocals, so
when you hear The GAOG you will get a piece of our
meeting. That piece is for every fan who couldn't be
there.
Good luck Andrew,

I
did not fly over, but landed IN, the cuckoo's nest this
morning. It was strange enough to get up at 7 a.m., but
after having my eggs...I went downtown to act in a short
film called: "Beat the Devil." This was
directed by Tony Scott and stars Gary Oldman, James
Brown and YOURS TRULY.
All I can say is, I am proud to have gotten a signature
from the godfather of soul on my VERY OWN BIBLE! (I have
no idea what it says though.)
I will let you decide which one of us is the devil?!?!
CARRY ON---
The DVD is on its way and I have personally stirred
together a chaotic tornado of scenes from almost every
show and the shrapnel of each city and the characters we
encountered. I found a clip of us in Warsaw doing
"Born Again" and "In the Shadow of the
Valley of Death" --(I play rhythm guitar).
There's "My Monkey" and a striptease in Rome
of "Diary of a Dope Fiend" (I have been
cleared of all charges.) There are women with baboons in
Moscow. Wal-Mart in Mississippi.
Babysitting the Osbournes.
AND
all of the nasty things that happen offstage that we
were never allowed to show you before.
This does not include the LA Olympic Auditorium show
that was televised and it looks and sounds completely
different.
I hope anyone that went last year loves this scarred
scrapbook, and if you missed the GGG tour, you WON'T
next time, after seeing this.
I have more to tell you, but I must sleep.
Farewell,

I
left the studio last night and woke up to the sounds of
lagnolalia. I was in a lucid dream so I wasn't sure if
it was my kitty, Lily, using her sandbox as a toilet or
not. She howls when dispensing decorative "cat
art."
I soon discovered a photo shoot in the living room and I
helped out with buldges and bustlines, as I am a
reliable authority. This was for Roger Avary and his
film, "Rules of Attraction." I myself, found
that a bustline and a cigarette can create quite a
muliebrity. Even with me, a non-smoker. I included some
pics to prove.
I am the least theatrical when I am in the theatre,
because it is my home. However, I do spend alot of time
in my home theater, where I prefer to remain in the
audience. This was disrupted late this night by Karl
Lagerfeld who made me take a photograph on my staircase,
possessed by E.A. Poe and lubricated with absinthe.
In that dark blue sky you still keep, through my stained
glass laptop you try to peep. When will you ever sleep?
When the sun burns open my eye?
'til next time,

Sorry,
two days wrong and I have been caught in a musical form
of pistology. I am quite convinced, as always, that
wrong ideas are right. We’re a bigger brain. The tumor
was benign. Let me say thank you for your concern and
interest. It does matter to me.
Things---
Today I learned how to not play the saxophone. I even
drummed on the title track of the album. I recorded Pogo,
John5 and Skold chanting two-letter words.
We are moving 13 songs to a mix studio this week to make
our final descent, “So please raise your seatbacks and
tray tables.”
Scarling and the Dali-Gaggers are still family and I
wish them luck. I hope to contribute some sort of
mucopurulent pilliwinks for old-time’s sake. Jes and
Bradley, my bastard siblings.
The pay-per-view is all done but it is not at all what
you will see on the DVD that I have now taken complete
charge of. I think you deserve to see the best that we
have, and I intend to show it.
THE ALBUM, THE AKTION THE ASSHOLES.
Please be advised: If you don’t understand, then you
ARE in complete admiration of this
aggressive-fashion-rape-symphony and the syntax of the
conductor. Now breathe slowly.
I like to throw shapes and have no fear of these unusual
practices. The cult of incongruity isn’t ever perfekt
because it is always better that way.
Even if you expect anything, you will get something else.
Those who have low expectations should get high.
I have a zoo full of new clips and pics and all sorts of
shits. This week I will drown you with some new meat to
chew.
BUT!
To the cry crickets out there in wonderland. I gorgonize
your every exfellowshipping daydreams of my death. I
have a funeral home-page and dead cell-phone dialing 911
(noIwonwon) to remind you that you expired long before I
told you so.
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!
My lovers, unleavers, soldiers, survivors and believers!
LET’S GET OUR HILARODY UNDERWAY!
A catless grin with smoke for words,
I love all those who let me.

This
week was strenuous and I landed myself in the hospital
as a result of “going too far” in the creation
process. I am fine now and glad to be back in the
studio. We have just completed the last track for the
album and it is my favorite so far.
I also started a series of life-size paintings of
Elizabeth Short’s bizarre death. It has haunted me all
my life.
Speaking of paintings, I acquired a Marlene Dietrich
portrait from Helnwein that is signed by her. It is one
of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.

Today
I started work with legendary painter/artist Gottfried
Helnwein. Thanks to Cyril, his son, we met some time ago and
are now collaborating. Today:
Lighting, camera tests, juggling.
I am too exhausted to reveal the details of our work but it is
multi-media-prop chaos that I know will please many and enrage
more. I am honored to work with him...and he is having a
gallery exhibit this Thursday in LA that I will be attending.
As I promised, here are a couple of behind-the-scenes shots
taken by Matt N., my art assistant. These are not
representative of Helnwein’s work as he is primarily a
painter. (AMAZING PAINTER).

THROUGH
THE PAIN GATE. (Do mirrors sleep and do they have feelings?
Or—“90 days of Sodom”)
|
|
Hello,
it’s good to be home. Sometimes the fine print in my
Faustian contract eludes me and I forget how little time there
is to accomplish so much. BUT THE IMPORTANCE IS TO ALWAYS:
1—Do anything creative. Who cares what people think of it.
2—After all, art is only one ‘f’ short of what most
people’s opinions smell like.
To update everyone, I went to Detroit and proved that you are
not always guilty of what people assume you are.
(cut to):
I flew to NYC and wrapped my last two scenes of “Party
Monster.” I think everyone will enjoy this amusing, dark
film and its talented cast. (Restrain your cynicism.)
NOW…
I am starting a new film project tomorrow with some
preliminary photography work. All I can say now, is that a
renowned artist that I admire is going to collaborate on
something I will be directing. I want to take some shots just
for the site so you can get a sneak peek at what we are
cooking up. I will post something late Sunday.
PATIENT WARNING
We see ourselves printed out on a zerox again and again and if
we are not careful, we may end up just staring at a blur of
ink. NEVER TOUCH ME UNTIL I AM DRY. (It will smear.)
I only make these things---scratches, scars, mumbles, cords,
chords---to form a ladder to climb my way out of the hole in
Hell I have dug while trying to MAKE these things. Sometimes,
I forget to stop and enjoy how pretty Hell can be, if you can
get past the smell of DOUBT.
“Mais rien ne peut exister, si l’on raisonne.”
And as Cab says: “Hidee, Hidee Ho”
Some films I watched and/or rewatched this week:
“Baise Moi”
“The Scarlet Empress”
and a favorite,
“L’AGE D’OR” by Luis Bunuel
You might enjoy.
Finally, I am trying to create a new Bullet-in ( ) Bored, as
some may have noticed. This project is currently being handled
by M.o.P., Stark. I have done this as a response to many
requests, which have not gone unnoticed. I hope to be able to
stop by there and chat periodically. However, we are finishing
up the record and preparing to mix, so please understand the
time restraints.
When I talk about the Marquis DeSade or recapturing the spirit
of Weimar Berlin at its decadent, creative peak, I am not
looking to go back in time or glorify anything BUT expression.
It also reminds me of the Limelight scene in NYC from
‘89-’92. My interest in these pages of history is a pile
of scattered ransom-note-cut-ups meant to create an invitation
to chaos and a demand for style. (Whatever YOU choose.)
Why attend an event when you can be one?
The world may be a stage and blah, blah….but we can ALL BE
STARS, not just players. No more rules to where the
“stage” ends and the audience begins.
Applause is music.
Boooooooos are beautiful when harmonized!
I enjoy watching YOU more than you think.
With admiration and respect for your inspired individuality…
You are always my fire---Los Olvidados.

LET’S
NOT BE ALL MOUTH AND NO TROUSERS. HELLO AGAIN TO MY
“STRAWBERRY RIPPLES!”
|
|
A
friend taught me this phrase…“Jemandem nach dem Mund reden.
Halt’s Maul oder ich polier der die Fresse.” I have not
forgotten you; I just wanted to let everyone collect their
emotions.
I am excited and relieved to have finished recording all of
Ginger’s drum tracks and we wrote one new song this week as
a bit of a therapeutic fire extinguisher. I welcome my new
bandmember. I don’t really feel the sting of insults anymore
but I care about my friends (new and old) so I hope this
community can contain their pointless prejudices.
It was nice to hear Jonathan Davis complimenting our album,
and showing support. I also got a surprising call from Gidget
(Brad Stewart), who has always been like a brother. He is
truly talented and I hope to help him with his new work. It
would be surreal to play a song together again, since we have
put the past behind us.
This weekend I photographed 40 to 50 of my paintings (from
‘97—‘02) to update the gallery and I will have the date
for the exhibit this week; it will be in late September.
There seems to be different opinions on my influences these
sunny days. While most come from French Surrealism, Dada and
the atmosphere of Weimar Berlin, I also find this record so
much like making Portrait of an American Family. Reckless, Du
kannst mich mal am Arsch lecken! I had to get back to the
reason that I wanted to begin with.
Cabaret is thought to have its origin in France in 1881 and
the first Cabaret that represented the spirit I find most
inspiring, was in Berlin in 1901. The city was considered
devoid of Kultur and a breeding ground for evil. At times of
censorship and soulless art turned into simple products,
creativity rises. Rome! Nachtlokals! Oppression impression
obsession. This is not a statement, this is an observation
translated into real-time choreography. Fashion changed, the
world shifted its axis. Sounds like today.
Burlesque provided eroticism and sexscape. Cabaret and
Vaudeville were satire, parody and the theatre of grotesque.
Each has had an impact on everything we see today, but I aim
to revive the attitude of chaos and reckless disregard for
tomorrow, in order to make today’s creations as genius as
possible. If it shocks, it is only because it grabs your
attention in a clusterfuck of mediocrity. “Shocking” is a
juvenile attempt to describe well-crafted art.
TO CLARIFY:
I did sing in the first version of Moulin Rouge, but a certain
loving “woman,” had my vocals removed. While I enjoyed
working on the film, it was not my sole inspiration, but an
exciting element in this puzzle.
For the crib biters and der Flunkies-- You certainly can’t
be a fascist when you are into fashion. So let’s put on our
best suit, here comes the GOLDEN AGE.

“THE
FUTURE BELONGS TO THOSE WHO CREATE IT.”

We
are perfect and ripe just before decay.
Knowing this, a new consciousness, inevitably kills the old.
One of the most painful things a person can experience is the
agony of change.
If you truly love a concept, a vision, a person, an ideal…You
cannot waver, or surrender to habit. Do not feel fear of what
will be newly gained, and do not try to jump in a grave when
we need to pay our respects and leave a tragedy.
We are brave and we are NOT uncaring. We care…I care…
about the soul of what I create, because it IS my very soul.
As I write this, I am watching Fellini's version of E.A. Poe's
"Never Bet The Devil Your Head."
Amusing. Will happiness drive us to despair?
When I wake up, it will be a new day. Tomorrow is closer than
yesterday.

Foolish Things"

Excuse
my absence...
My cryptovestiphilia was finally put to proper use this past
week while I was portraying "Christina" in the film
"Party Monster." I was actually allowed to leave
home alone and enter the central nervous system.
Tomorrow, I am going to see a movie by Pier Paolo Pasolini in
a theatre. Although I've watched it often over the years, it
may be the first time it has been shown in America, as it was
banned and the director was assassinated. I was reminded of
the importance and power of opinion when expressed in art.
Although art is undefinable, opinion is seldom powerful.
Moving on...
hierophilia and imparcolpia aside!!!!!!!!
I know decoromedia is not a proper form of JOURNALism, I find
that the study of its rules help to create proper settings for
one's evolution. Of course, I mean this both metaphorically
and literally.
Some things won't be the same, because they will be better.
Manson in a French accent, "Delilah, do not run with
those scissors!"
(The girl often will pause now and pretend to sweep up the
hair.)
Manson, without the accent, says: "I have no persona
called Arch Dandy."
Then to Delilah--a persona non grata--The Arch Dandy
proclaims, "I am merely an idiosyncrat."

THE
STAINS OF YESTERDAY
|
|
As
you see, we have begun the show and the progress of this
website’s transformation will continue rapidly in the days
to come. The band has written 2 more songs and I am working on
the musical intro of the album today. I foresee a trip to
Europe needed to capture the charming atmosphere of decay I am
seeking for this one.
I’ve also been busy painting in preparation for my first art
exhibit, set to take place at the Tamara Bane Gallery in Los
Angeles in mid August. I’ve photographed some works (in
progress) and some of my working material as well.
I have word on the novel coming soon.
Sometimes DRUGS can add color to a black mood or exterminate
those insects of depression. But only ART, like shards of
glass and bloodstained asphalt at an intersection, can capture
the pain or lack of it with a beauty that almost resembles a
bruise on god. I have seen the side effects of my thoughts and
I have found that there is no cure. While it is terminal, I am
spelled out in a halcyon font with an unwashed brain and a
belief in my new layer of skin. I must advise, that despite
the discomfort any creature endures when molting, never
hesitate the agony of leaving behind the dead cells.
To stay in that rotten shell you have finally outgrown, you
will surely die.
You won’t understand if you are sitting.
With love,

I
enjoyed the results of Resident Evil and its use of my score
work. I congratulate Paul Andersen. I hope all of you thriller
sci-fi fans liked it as well. The other pieces that are not on
the soundtrack will be made available here very soon.
For now, here is a glimpse into the studio. I took a few shots
of co-producer Tim Skold and the guys recording a new song
that John 5 wrote. Expect to see more of me singing and the
rest of the band recording in greater detail later.
Next week I plan to announce the album title, but I can say
for sure NONE of the fake track listings are even close. No
predictions of “ghetto Dracula” or anything else are
accurate either. I can say the album will be a hard and
violent mix of industrial-strength punk vaudeville with 30s
Berlin cabaret decadence.
One song title is…”Use your fist and not your mouth.”

THE
THROAT

Luckily,
I can post a message since my throat is bloody and raw from
singing all night. One more song is finished. The album is
almost whole.
I just approved the soundtrack to Resident Evil. They are
using four of my score pieces. The titles are:
"Seizure of power"
"Cleansing"
"Reunion"
and
"Resident Evil Main Title Theme"
There was a chance they might use another but this should be
the final 4. The rest will appear only in the film but I may
try to sneak a few for you to hear. The titles are:
"Airborne"
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts"
"The red queen"
"The queen explains the needs"
"Necrosis"
"Suppressing early signs of infection"
and "The dead walk"
I'll tell you some song titles for my album soon. I'm off to
the studio.
