P.PAUL FENECH: The 'F' Word

Raw and INSANE!!! P. Paul Fenech is back again... THE METEORS frontman and Psychobilly legend P Paul Fenech's sixth solo outing!! The infamous, THE METEORS founder finds time away from the group activities to unleash this hot-cracking solo album to show that he really is the master of "Pure Psychobilly". P. Paul Fenech shows early on his amazing song writing ability and his insane guitar playing that have only gotten better with age. THE METEORS single-handedly created the bastard son of Rock`n`Roll known as Psychobilly and as with the other 5. With solo albums that preceded this one "The F Word" has all the elements of this and much more to give you a full spectrum of Fenechs musical universe. This is a must have not only for any true Psychobilly. It's also a great place to start if your just getting into Psychobilly or even wish to go beyond. Fenech is constantly touring (unbelievably over 5000 live shows) and is gaining new followers wherever he plays.

KILLERMETERS: Charge!

The Killermeters began as a punk rock band in 1977 when, like thousands of others across the country they swapped their clothes, modified their Rock/R'n'b sound and took a lot of speed. They were the best and most energetic band in the Yorkshire town of Huddersfield and played all the club and pub venues in the north. Influenced by doctor feelgood, the Killer Meters' (as they were known at that stage) main attraction was bass player Vic Szczesnowicz (his punk moniker was Vic Vomit). Their lead/rhythm guitarist was Mick Moore who worshiped Keith Richards. Another Rolling Stone obsessive was Killer Meters Vocalist Owen Ford and their line-up was completed by young Graham 'Jez' jessop on drums. A good live act, their sound was a little too derivative to make it as a punk band, although Vic and Mick clearly had talent and one or two of their songs shone out above the standard punk thrash.

Cutest dog (next to Indy, of course)! :: Momo

Regina has one of the cutest dogs... but I can't say that too loud because Indy might hear me and become jealous (Indy even gets jealous when I talk on the phone with Matt and will start "talking" loudly and playing with her loudest squeeky toy). I recently spotted this photo and just died a little (it got an honorable mention on Martha's site):

And another cute photo. Photo credits: Regina Mako
I think Indy and Momo could be the best of friends!

Real Bride :: Lindsey of Lost and Fawned

Many moons ago, I worked with one of the sweetest of sweet ladies, Lindsey, who now has a lovely Etsy shop, Lost and Fawned. If you're on the lookout for vintage inspired jewelry that could easily become heirloom pieces to pass down, visit her shop! I made a set of silk flowers for Lindsey for her Cannon beach wedding this past summer and the pictures speak for themselves... gorgeous!

Ashlee Simpson Long Red Hairstyle

Checkout this trendy and rather edgy long red hairstyle sported by Hollywood singer and actress Ashlee Simpson.

We have watched Ashlee go blonde, black and brunette in the past, and now red is the color of choice for this fashion conscious young lady.

I guess its fun to mix up your hair color every now and then, but i think her natural dark brunette hair is the most appealing.
