I agree. She looked better and better dancing and swaying like a bellydancer in the heat. I really loved every song. She was so uncharacteristically silly towards the end of the show last night. THere also were so many cute Goths there last night. A friend in the of mine saw them Sunday and said that someone in the audience sprayed mace and everyone had to leave. I loved Dear Prudence. Budgie's drumming was impecable.

The heiress reportedly blushed and beat it like a banshee out of there. But that didn't stop Siouxsie from giving her a parting shot: "Who invited that silly cow anyway?"
Funny you should mention that Hatches because Siouxsie always said that Louise Brooks was one of her make-up inspirations as well...see, all great minds think alike. Although, everytime someone mentions Siouxsie, (Blacklips) Eve always comes to mind. I think Eve performed every Siouxsie hit single on that Pyramid stage.

Mister Damage! Thanks, you just made my Xmas! And you're right - this collection is amazingly, gorgeously complete. I've never had a real decent turntable, so what magic it will be to hear "the woods and the town, covered in snow, all transformed to a fairytale..." in all its original and Thorn beauty. Siouxsie and the Banshees were always SO generous to us fans with all these B-sides, put so much creativity into every last one. It's a tremendous body of work, finally free from the evil clutches of "fucking Warners."
From the gossip press:
During a toast for Deborah Harry in the LifeTime Achievement Award for the rock and roll artist, Paris Hilton was invited, sitting at the honoree's table in the front. Reportedly, as Paris arrived to the event, she asked "Is this Debbie Hargy's party or something?" (Nice Paris, you dont even know the name of the person who invited you?!?)

Paris look extremely bored at the event. As Harry was reading off her speech to the audience, Paris's phone rang, and she gladly picked it up and started jabbering away to Nicky, who was on the other line. Singer Siouxsie Sioux, immediately yelled at Paris, in quote:

"Turn off that f*cking self-phone, you spoiled rotten little brat! This is not about you!!!! Who invited this stupid cow anyways?!?"



Paris blushed and quickly ran out of there, meeting up with Nicky in Hollywood, in tears.

Version 2:

Siouxsie's first-ever solo album will be out this fall, Mantaray. The video for her first single just hit youtube..astoundingly sexy, as if you'd expect anything less from La Sioux. Sadly, her vocal range shows pretty severe damage IMO. Not so strong. But I'm eager to hear the rest. Daddy, can't a computer take her voice higher? Yes. It's not just that she's gone deeper, as everyone does. It's like phantom limb syndrome...in reaching for those notes that were such familiar territory, she's trying to use a limb that's no longer there. Ah well, it is growing on me and she's still my idol: into a swan

Oh guys, don't go trying to school me on Siouxsie. Siouxsie had a significant range. Not the widest, but significant. She could reach heights and depths. The range is gone. Destroyed. Chrissie and Debbie, in contemporaneous comparison, still have a pretty impressive reach, up and down. The last several years have seen Siouxsie's range diminish - unquestionably. That's what I was lamenting. Into A Swan sounds flat to me. No matter. We still worship. She is ever ruling.
