Look. I have become a style icon. My facial hair is now being copied all over the world and yesterday was displayed with much fashion sense at the Olympics.
So I did what any "break the mould" fashion guru would do and shaved it all off - and it was only with the last slice of the razor that I remembered I was supposed to be growing it to kick Dan Brown's ass. Luckily, my new facial hair style will be with us much sooner than my Dan Brown ass-kicking book.
This year, I promised myself that I would push as hard as I could on making myself heard across the globe - which is a dumb thing to say given the nature of the net but I know what I mean. Anyway, I now have a new place to flaunt my heels over at emcBlue - which, although it sounds like a porn site, is actually one of the best up and coming entertainment sites I've seen in a long time.
Based in my spiritual home of New York, these guys work hard at what they do and were without a Big Rock Voice so here I come... codpiece on fire. First article goes up later today (probably late this evening) on an exclusive basis, so there will be no re-posting here but I will be linking to it from a push button type of thing over there on the right. Will let you know where to pick up the feed too if that's what you need.
The column is called Black Dye, White Noise (sic) and will include some tasty musical treats, plenty of fear and loathing and enable you to arm yourselves with weapons of musical destruction to amaze and terrify your friends with - unless I change my mind, in which case it will become something different.
Yesterday, I also discovered a band I should have been kissing the feet of many years ago. Sometimes, these thing just pass you by for no good reason. I'll let you all check them out on your own time - they're called BigElf and they rock like acid-damaged scarecrows. Sometimes they sound like Coheed ripping it up with Monster Magnet but in my more imaginative moments, I think they sound like Lenny Kravitz fronting Chainsaw Kittens.
Love them. Love them hard.
Currently listening to: BigElf - Cheat the Gallows
Currently reading: The Owl Killers (it's huge - it really is!)
Currently watching: LOST (love it), Supernatural (loving it more), 24 (large amounts of loving potential)
Currently very intiruged by: a box set seen in the supermarket called Harper's Island. Anybody know if it's worth a damn?
