Happy Monday EQs. Well didn’t this weekend’s weather in London SUCK?! OMG – it like totally rained the whole time and it was windy as well which made the raindrops feel like razor blades against my face. Oh well – despite the horrible weather, this weekend in London was a vibrant one full of fun and excitement. Geri’s twin brother, Antonio arrived from Palermo (in Sicily) on Friday night and Ronnie the cat and I been getting throughly confused by having two Italian twin brothers bee-bop around the loft. We all dined at Wahaca on Saturday night – my new favourite London restaurant which serves very good Mexican tapas at a reasonable price in which we then hit a party for Louise (aka EQ Sugamama) and then we all ended up at XXL for some partying with the big boys in which I was getting jealous looks all night from guys who thought I bagged a twin twosome. hahaha – let them think that! Last night we ate at the rather expensive Ping Pong in which we paid almost 100 quid for dim sum (it was good, but not that good – you can get the same thing in Chinatown for about 40 quid) and then took a romantic night trip on the London Eye (London is so pretty at night) to then end up at the IMAX theatre seeing ‘Beowulf’ in larger than life 3D beautifulness. A great weekend even if it was stereotypical London weather.
On with the rants…
- In the midst of the madness, we ran into Jeffree Star in Soho. He looks a lot different without the white skin makeup. I wanted to interview him for EQ but the bitch never got back to me. He must be busy with having like 1 million MySpace friends and all.
- Just got the new Gorillaz album ‘D-Sides’ in from Parlophone – I will be listening to it and hopefully will give you some thoughts on it!
- Yay for Nathan Walters – it looks like he is going to open for Darren Hayes in New York on 28 November. I am really jealous – Nathan’s music is divine and that would be such a perfect gig for moi if I lived in New York. Nathan’s got a couple new songs posted on his MySpace too so you should check em out.
- Well ok, speaking of perfect nights out – I am off to the Darren Hayes New Years Eve party in Soho next month in which Mr. Hayes will be taking to the DJ decks (I expect to hear A LOT of Prince) after the new year is rung in and after he performs an exclusive live set. What a way to end the year!
- I am listening to my Depeche Mode Ultimate Mix now on my iPod. It must be that time of year again where I overdose/feast on Depeche Mode brilliance and then get totally burnt out on it for for another 6 months or so.
- Maybe I will go see The Cure in concert at Wembley. I can’t believe it, but I have NEVER seen them live. Kinda blasphemy isn’t it? Oh damn, the show isn’t until March 2008…like I can plan that far ahead. Another blasphemy – I have never seen Everything But The Girl live either…I have been to a few Ben Watt DJ nights though with Tracey in tow…
- I have to shamefully admit – I kinda want to go see the Spice Girls at the O2 Arena. Only because I haven’t got to see a show there yet and the whole venue is a technical marvel. They don’t bother me too much and I happen to like Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton a little bit. I didn’t live in England during the Spice Girls world domination so I’m a bit Spice curious…
- Paleday continue to make me smile. I can’t get ‘Eurotramp’ outta my head.
- I’m SO behind on my interviews. I have loads lined up but have been so bad at sitting down and sorting out my questions. I promise to get some of those done soon EQs!
- And finally…well there is no finally because I rambled on too much. However – do you like the new banner? I’m a little so/so with it. I decided to take the EQ Fold off of it because well, not a lot of people know who they are…YET! But I’m working on putting up a new little home for the le fold. And – I wanted a new, somewhat lighter font. It probably sucks shit either way – but you’ll have to let me experiment until I’m happy. Until tomorrow EQs…
