Sign O' The Times

I just want your extra time and your, Kiss
Selma Blair & Ron Carlson

Hello Minions, in case you are wondering it's Monday. This photo of Selma Blair and her guy Ron Carlson sharing a kiss while waiting for coffee in Studio City, CA perfectly captures a moment in time during this point of history of the world.

I mean come on, nothing says pandemic more then a masked kiss in public between two love birds. Except for perhaps the bird that is attacking people in my neighborhood. Yeah there's a bird who obviously is aggressive about defending it's nest even though it's up in a tree and the sidewalk is three feet away from it, when people walk by the bird starts making loud nasty noises and then comes at you. It pecked me and one of my neighbors (and more I'm sure I don't know about) in the back. So there's that going on too.

Too bad it was too frantic for me to catch a photo of, so now I walk on the opposite side of the street from the side my apartment building is actually on. Meh.

Enjoy your Monday, "Yes" it's Monday, really I promise 😎

KISS My Poster Book!


This takes me back to the days of yore...

Fantasm Media Releases The Official KISS Poster Book #2

New edition offers 6 pull-out posters, exclusive interviews, extensive "End Of The Road" tour photo gallery, and a completely new collectible KISS card set

With an epic 45-year career that changed music and entertainment forever, KISS will be hanging up their touring boots at the conclusion of the current multi-year "End Of The Road" tour. To celebrate their legacy, Texas-based publisher Fantasm Media has teamed up with the rock icons again to release The Official KISS Poster Book #2. For die-hard KISS fans, collectors and completists, the second issue brings the current bombastic stage show to life and celebrates their amazing past. This issue is packed with 6 giant pull-out posters featuring the current band members onstage doing what they do best, as well as classic era shots. It's also loaded with articles, interviews, and photos covering both the current and classic incarnations of the band.

"We're absolutely thrilled to continue working with KISS," says Publisher/Editor-in-Chief Brian Steward. "As a lifelong KISS fan and collector, I approach creating The Official KISS Poster Book from the perspective of, 'What would I want to see as a fan?' That's what's most important." And one thing KISS fans definitely do is collect. To meet that collector need, Fantasm Media is offering six alternate covers, each featuring different images not only on the front but also the back.

As with issue #1, this issue of The Official KISS Poster Book features exclusive interviews and a completely new collectible KISS card set. Fans also get an extensive "End Of The Road" photo gallery. Featured interviews include director Adam Rifkin on the 20th anniversary of the KISS film, Detroit Rock City; Jim Neff on how he helped orchestrate the historic 1975 appearance of KISS in Cadillac, Michigan; and David Pea on designing Sammy the Serpent and Gene's current Demon costume.


The Official KISS Poster Book #2 and The Official KISS Poster Book #1 and the two issues of The Official KISS Magazine are available exclusively at Fantasm-Media.com. The next issue of The Official KISS Poster Book will be released later this year and will be accompanied by yet another original KISS card set.

Just Because...Show Some Love

Kissing Strangers?
America Ferrera & Judith Light
Just Because it's what the world needs now, why don't we all show some love to each other. "Yes" that's correct reach out and touch somebody's _____ fill in the blank, Just Because...

Bear witness to America Ferrera showing love to Judith Light at Superstore For Your Consideration Press Line in Hollywood.

What brought on this random act of affection? No one knows but when America crossed paths with Judith she decided to show some love to her. It doesn't really matter why. It's the act and thought that counts.

So get out there and show some love today to someone. "No" you don't have to kiss them like America there are plenty of other ways to do so. 

Jut do it! I know you have it in you!!!

Kiss

Kissing Bandits
Sarah Silverman & Jimmy Kimmel
"I just want your extra time and your Kiss, Oh oh" - Kiss, Prince 
Apparently Sarah Silverman got herself a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this past Friday. While I do like Ms. Silverman it caught me off guard that she actually received the honor. I am guessing there is an upcoming project that she is in, thus the high visibility promotion.
Well guess who showed up for the ceremony? None other than Sarah's ex-BF Jimmy Kimmel! Guess what he did? C'mon guess...he gave her a kiss. Sound the collective Awwwwwwwww....sound it, and sound it now!
Thus today's decree? Give someone you once, or are currently banging a kiss today for whatever reason you see fit. It doesn't have to be out of respect and love like Sarah & Jimmy. It could have funny, naughty or insidious intentions, the choice is yours.
Now if you will excuse me I'm gonna go kiss someone special, in a place that I dare not speak it's name.
Mic Drop!

When Doves Cry - R.I.P: Prince


Millions of people found out what it sounds like when doves cry with the passing of Prince Rogers Nelson, and justifiably so. The man was in a word: brilliant!

He was one of the key artists that shaped my world view, like he did so many others. The one overriding message he preached was - live.


Prince was all about living, love and passion. I especially took to him linking spirituality and sexuality. This is how he should be remembered. In his utopia there was no right or wrong, there simply was.


So rather than me continue, why not let his lyrics do the talking. Here are some excerpts of poetry from this amazing artist. Let's Go Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


"We can fuck until the dawn, making love 'til cherry's gone
Erotic City can't you see, thoughts of pretty you and me" 


"Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time"

Lovesexy

"But I just a virgin And I'm on my way to be
Wed. But you're such a hunk. So full of spunk, 
I'll give you Head"


"I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain" 



                                                 

"I was dreamin' when I wrote this
So sue me if I go 2 fast
But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant 2 last"


"Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry"


"You don't have to be beautiful
To turn me on
I just need your body baby
From dusk till dawn
You don't need experience
To turn me out" 


"Oh yeah!
In France, a skinny man died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle and soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen-year-old boys and their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called 'The Disciples'
High on crack and totin' a machine gun"


"She wore a
Raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her"

                                                        Nothing Compares 2 U
                                                               Prince Cover: 
                                                          Sinead O'Connor

"It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away"


R.I.P. Sweet Prince

Jade Starling No Longer Has 80's Hair

Remember Your 80's Poof? Neither Does Jade Starling
DANCE-POP ICON JADE STARLING
JOINS KELLY CLARKSON, ICONA POP, AND DEMI LOVATO
IN BILLBOARD TOP 5 WITH CURRENT SMASH CLUB HIT

PRETTY POISON LEAD SINGER-SONGWRITER AND CO-FOUNDER SOARING AGAIN WITH HIGHEST CHART NUMBERS SINCE 1987 CLASSIC “CATCH ME I’M FALLING”



Now a new generation of club kids can fall in love with singer Jade Starling.”
- Download.com (CNET/CBS Interactive)

With the rapidly changing landscape of the music industry, artists are faced with two choices – evolve, or fade away. Jade Starling, of the ‘80s group Pretty Poison, chose the former, and it’s put her right in the middle of today’s vibrant EDM scene.” - Arena.com

Have you ever wondered what the lead singer of Pretty Poison would be doing if she didn't have 80's hair? Well here is your answer, yeah, that's correct, I am a giver.

Enjoying a career resurgence that includes a celebrated return to the Billboard Dance charts, JADE STARLING is enjoying her highest chart numbers since her iconic classic hit “CATCH ME I’M FALLING” topped the very same chart in 1987.

Starling’s latest hit “Better and Better,” has risen to #3, marking her 10th appearance on the chart since launching her career in the 1980s as lead singer of the platinum group Pretty Poison“Better and Better” is the third single from Starling’s critically acclaimed solo debut album, CAPTIVE  (Subpeona/Tazmania/Universal)

Starling’s current success with “Better and Better” is especially notable as the only indie-label release in the Top 10.

“Sharing the top 5 with current superstars Kelly ClarksonIcona Pop and Demi Lovato is a major accomplishment for me” says Starling, who has managed to achieve this on a fraction of the promotional budget powering those superstar records.

“Better and Better was co-written with DJ Laszlo and Pretty Poison co-founder Whey Cooler. It features remixes from two of Dance Music’s most enduring legends, Stonebridge and Chris Cox, as well as festival favorite TavoJeff Retro (resident DJ at Las Vegas’ Hakkasan Nightclub), WKTU mix show team Cova & SteelDarulah (Romainia)Andy Sikorski (England), Mike Ferullo, Elektromind (Italy), and DJ Laszlo.

With her new found relevance, Starling is hard at work on a CAPTIVE ground tour which will launch in early 2016 and feature 3D technology.

Best known as the vocalizing half and award-winning songwriter of the platinum-selling duo Pretty Poison (#1 hit “Catch Me I’m Falling” on Virgin Records), the flame-tressed diva will be visible at a variety of venues and events in the New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia region this fall, including appearances at the Sands Hotel Casino in Bethlehem PA (Sep. 29th), All Things That Rock Festival in Philadelphia (Oct. 3 & 4) with Ace Frehley of KISSCarl Palmer of ELPLita Ford and more, and an appearance at the Westbury Music Fair (Oct. 30th) as part of the “Monsters of Freestyle” Halloween extravaganza.

The Troops Honor Kid Rock

Rock On! Kid Rock & Mark Woods
OPERATION TROOP AID HONORS KID ROCK
WITH 2014 "PATRIOT AWARD"

I've always knew who Kid Rock was, a successful Rock Star who was in a relationship with one of my favorite people & interview subjects, Pamela Anderson. However I had never heard his music...

That was until my friend, publicist extraordinaire, Ken Phillips gave me one of his CD's. Listening to Kid Rock's music for the first time was a religious experience that made me a fan for life.

Well Ladies & Gentlemen it's time you know about his giving back to others who truly deserve your respect and gratitude, carry on...


Operation Troop Aid(OTA), a nonprofit organization which supports U.S. Troops, honored award-winning, multi-platinum selling humanitarian Kid Rock, last week in Nashville, Tennessee, with the 2014 Operation Troop Aid “Patriot Award.”

Presented annually by OTA to celebrities that champion the men and women serving in the American Armed Forces, the rock star was awarded the Eagle Trophy for his countless endeavors to support troops overseas and at local hospitals and for supporting numerous military charities. Well known for his role as an American Patriot, Kid Rock, has performed at various military bases and continues to meet military personnel at every concert appearance.

"Kid Rock is one of the most giving entertainers I have ever met,” says OTA founder and executive director Mark Woods.  "He really gets it…  Last year, Kid Rock challenged his fans to help raise money to send care packages to the troops.  In one short month, we were able to ship over 500 care packages just in time for the holidays. His art, legacy of family and Spirit of Patriotism is exactly why this award exists.”

Kid Rock joins past Patriot Award recipients Hank Williams Jr., Toby Keith, Darryl Worley, Aaron Tippin, Gary Sinise, Charlie Daniels, Mark Wills, and KISS.

About Operation Troop Aid:
Founded in 2004 by 21-year military veteran, Mark Woods, Operation Troop Aid provides entertainment initiatives and care packages for U.S. Service Members with revenue generated through professional concert promotions and public financial generosity. OTA is a nonprofit corporation striving to make a positive difference and inspire the Armed Forces by letting them know Americans stand with them. OTA is a certified IRS approved charity.

As an entertainment based charity, each year OTA selects and presents The OPERATION TROOP AID Patriot Award to an entertainer / artist that best exemplifies the spirit of Patriotic service to our Troops and Americanism in their art.  It does not necessarily reflect events in that year, as it may be a historical grouping of their achievements to promote our Troops and American Patriotism.  It is an award that embodies a sense of service, supporting our American Troops and an overall outlook of honoring our Constitution and promoting the Freedom that our Troops provide.

It Cuts Like A "Shonen Knife"

Shonen Knife Is Awesome!

Legendary Japanese rockers SHONEN KNIFE go into “OVERDRIVE” with new album Out 4/15; US Tour Dates Announced


Ever since I heard their cover of The Carpenters "Top of the World" on The Carpenter cover CD: "If I Were A Carpenter" - the punk pop trio of women known as Shonen Knife has been one of my favorite groups...the legends have a new CD dropping and are hitting the road in the United States, it's time, get knifed! 
Shonen Knife, Osaka Japan’s legendary queens of indie sunshine, are back with a brand new album for 2014.
Their 19th studio release, “Overdrive”, is a tip of the hat to 70’s Hard Rock, and a continuation of Shonen Knife’s journey into the musings of food, fantasy and daily life in the Far Eastern metropolis of Osaka.

The band is rounded out with 2 songs sung by bassist Ritsuko and drummer Emi, a lineup consistently rocking since 2010.
Channeling the musical traditions of 70’s Metal Icons like Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Bad Company, Kiss and Black Sabbath, Naoko’s passion for the hard rock genre is translated through her constant pop culture filter known as Shonen Knife.
“Overdrive” will be available in N. America on Good Charamel Records on April 15th 2014 and is now available for Pre-Sale in the Good Charamel Online Store.Shonen Knife will play Japan and Europe this spring and summer.
