This band was on 4AD a million years ago but if you ever get a chance to pick up their only album "Blow," do so! It's great. Like a stoned Cocteau Twins freakout.

"I'd rather be talking about this than all of the other things that Congress hasn't done well," one Republican congressional aide told AFP on condition of anonymity because of possible reprisals.
"Weeks before September 11th, this is going to play big," said another White House official, who also spoke on condition of not being named, adding that some Democratic candidates won't "look as appealing" under the circumstances."
"An update on Villain Watch: Jeffrey is the new Keith. He argued and yelled at Angela for (supposedly) breaking a machine and subsequently not fixing it. According to Jeffrey, it was making his sewing more difficult. PUHLEEESE! Last season, several of my fellow designers cried wolf for the same reasons. Somehow, among all the broken machines and needles, the rest of us managed to present an outfit on the runway.
Coming to Angela's defense, Laura managed to treat Jeffrey as her sixth child and put him in his place without even batting an eyelash. Jeffrey then stooped to an all-time Project Runway low, one-upping even Santino, by wishing Laura would have a stroke! Jeffrey should have spent less time name-calling and more time creating a better outfit for his chosen fashion icon, Madonna. His design looked like a bad hybrid of Tina Turner's Mad Max costume and a goth teenager at a local mall." Nick Verreos at People.com

Mad, bad Grace steals show
By Tom Teodorczuk and Robert Mendick, Evening Standard
Wearing a ski hat and a top made out of what appeared to be black clingfilm, Grace Jones produced a bravura performance to overshadow Patrick Swayze's opening night in the West End. (Excuse me- I could upstage Swayze, my cat could too- JDD)
The singer/actress was invited to the aftershow party in Soho and her act was pure Jones. One eyewitness described her look as that of a "Smurf gone wrong". Some suggested that next time the diva gets dressed she should take off the dark glasses first.
Then she performed her trademark slap - the one that decked chat show host Russell Harty - not just once, but repeatedly. This time, the target of her affectionate punching was a young photographer.
After hitting the paparazzo with her customary vim and vigour, she gave him a kiss and a cuddle. Then she pulled out a middle finger and waved it around - no doubt testing wind direction and speed - before appearing to delve into her blouse and threatening to display her left breast.Jones was accompanied by Viscount Wimborne, to whom she has been engaged for two years. Aged 41, he is 17 years her junior and has earned the soubriquet "Edward Scissorhands" for his unkempt appearance.
He is spending £10million on restoring his family's Northamptonshire estate after inheriting £30million in 1993. Should the couple ever marry, Jones would become the Viscountess of Ashby St Ledgers.
