Oh, it's been such a long time since I've updated
this!
Please excuse me but I'm flat out on the book (more
of which later), and visits from Macauley Culkin in regard to 'getting me
right' for Party Monster (again, more later), arranging interviews with
amongst others, 20/20 (watch out for that one in June sometime)…. although
you'd think I had time on my hands, in reality the majority of that time is
taken up. I'm very focused these days, you'd just wouldn't believe it…
First of all a big THANK YOU for all your letters
and emails; you don't know what it means to me receiving them. I do attempt
to reply to all of them, but it can be quite a challenge, what with only
being given one pen a week and the cost of all those stamps!!!!!
Good news! I'm leaving Southport on 22 April 2003
and, although I don't know where I'm going, it looks as if it'll be back to
Clinton. We'll make sure to let you all know on the NEW section of the
site….
The guestbook has proven
to be a great hit…I love reading the stuff folks place on it. So please keep
using it.
As for the CD, it has nine tracks, an interview with
me going on about Warhol, Madonna, Angel and how the whole Club Kids scene
came about. We recorded the vocals at Clinton Correctional Facility on 30
June 2000! Make sure to request the CD-ROM enhanced copies as they have pics,
competitions and a load more… click here for more info.
And just to show we've all been busy of late, I can
announce that the satori group is currently
putting the final touches to the ULTRAVOX track MY SEX! I recorded the vocal
with David Lambert and we are really excited about this. It's very 80s
retro…you can even hear a prison door slamming in the background in the last
chorus! If you don't know the track go get it from ULTRAVOX's first album;
the one with John Foxx on vocals (Island Records - ILPS 9449 - 1976).
David Lambert has asked me to do an interview so if
you click on THIS you'll go straight to
it. I hope it clears up a few issues that have been flying around.
There's also an interview with my mother which you
might find interesting.
And finally, I want to say thank you for all the
support you have given me over the years, it really is appreciated. Please
email me your thoughts, comments and questions. It takes a while for them to
get to me, but they do get here, eventually. Include a home mailing address
and I'll write to you snail mail, it can be easier this way, but don't sweat
it if you'd rather not.
My days are not exactly filled with
wine and roses so when I heard from James St James in Los Angeles about the
satori group putting a modern day opera together based on The Club Kids I
wrote offering my services. Within six months I was face to face with David
Lambert and we spent five very pleasant hours together discussing life,
music, death, regret, being fabulous, James St James, and a load more.
I’m pleased to be a part of this;
as a concept dance album this has gotta be a first!
Check out the website and email me
your thoughts and questions.
Love Michael
