maybe this is lame because i haven't made a post in forever because i never seem to have the time.....so forgive me for being a bit excited about this

the Dresden Dolls new album was out today (incidently as this is music discussion my favourite tracks for now are - Backstabber - Dirty Business & Shores of California)

anyway......some artwork of mine, a photograph i took of a friend who models for me to be more specific has been included in the album booklet (some of you may be aware that there was a competition)

so here's the original & the page from the booklet

i remember you telling me about this at cris's album launch, ace!

Ace!

Played a couple of tracks from the new album at the Thomas Truax gig last night, great to see he's supporting them again on their tour!

Hehe, I actually squealed when I made this discovery >_<
I can't believe I didn't hear about it before seeing it though.

i feel strange about missing Thomas.....though i figured i was a bit broke...i'd seen him 3 times and that i would see him again with the Dolls and then again in the future at some point........having tried to convince them before i'm glad to see Jim & Katie finally saw his wonderousness

The revelation of the evening was Son Of Dave, beatbox blues from a 1950's attired American gentlemen. One or two new songs from Thomas, but he's back next month supporting someone in Moshulu I think.

I think Rachie mentioned it now I come to think about it.
Are you going to see them in glasgow then? I'm very excited at the prospect of seeing both Dolls this time, not just miss amanda

i am indeed i've seen the full two piece a couple of times before but it was a lovely birthday present (the ticket) & think i'd like seeing them together again & with more new stuff to play live together

[Rachie]

I did indeed mention it...

I wish I was going to the Cathouse gig stupid tickets selling out before I had a chance to get my act together and buy one.

Plus to add insult to injury my album (which was dispatched on Sunday) has yet to arrive. Or if it has I don't know about it yet because I'm at Uni.

Congrats though Sheena, looks super

EDIT:
My flatmate informs me it has arrived! Whoo! Time to run home!
