One or two new songs from Thomas, but he's back next month supporting someone in Moshulu I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachie Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 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!

Rachie Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I squealed a little when I saw your name in the credits On the album itself, I have to admit when I stuck it on for the first time as soon as I got it I was a bit "eeehh..." I didn't think it was as good as the first one, and I'm still a little unsure of it, but I'm already getting into the new songs. I wasn't especially grabbed by Sex Changes the first time round which was a bit of a disappointment since I always feel the first song on an album should really get you totally engaged and make you want to not move until you've listened to the whole album.However that particular song has actually grown on me immensely already and I'm now rather enjoying the Dresden Doll's latest. Especially loving Sex Changes, Backstabber, Mandy Goes to Med School, Dirty Business and Sing.And of course the fact that Sheena's artwork is featured makes it even better.

crooked*smile Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I know what you mean about it not grabbing you straight away, but it's growing on me. And Me and the Minibar is a gorgeous song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Sheena's artistic talent was evident after seeing her fabulous effort at dressing The Lemon Tree for an Unknown Pleasures event. well done & deserved imp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
