    "DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell."

    Bugsy is remarkably sweet, and simply never wants to stop having fun.  Never stops talking, either. He has had a bad history of very extreme human abuse in his past...and I drove 200 miles round trip to get him. He is truly remarkable, and helps out his girlfriend Maerose, born with two short front legs...the one much shorter than the other. Who I went again over 200 miles to get. Neither cat, who both had an entire webpage dedicated to them...had even one person ever try to inquire about them...this is his abandoned as a kitten, half-Ocicat grrrrrl,  the wee Maerose!  Together, they can only be described as just outright... "loopy", they both believe they are racehorses. We don't tell them they aren't!   :   )





    Have a most remarkable day, Kris, it's always really, really special, when I get to hear from you!  I always think about you and I know you are up to doing some truly cool things on a consistent basis. Which I think is just great. Hey...in this video, you can see our Bugsy near the very beginning...and some of my turtles. Cool running's, always...<3 ~ Tim

  • DFW NOISE

    Sep 3 2009 11:06 PM

    Hey, just stopping by to give ya a fix on local DFW music. :) We've got some awesome things happening this weekend. Pitchers Sports Bar in Arlington is bringing it back old school with 4 bands Friday (feat Legacy of Disorder from New Zealand) and 4 bands on Saturday night (feat 13th and Suicide). The cover each night is only $5 bucks if your over 21. Under 21 is only $10. Pitchers has a old metal head vibe, like back in the Joe's Garage days. For you guys that know what I mean, you'll really enjoy these nights. It's a small bar, that's just up close and personal. Bring your cameras and camcorders. Tonight turn your radio to KNON 89.3 or knon.com at 8pm for Thrashin' Alan's Hard Time Radio. Faint the Fiction will be at Trees tonight. Make sure you request Earthrot when calling in tonight, then check em' out on Sept 11th at the Ridglea. Also make sure you come check out our interviews and reviews for the Sept issue of the DFW Noise. Thanks for your continued support!
