Silent Shout

Yes silent shout because I haven't been here for a long time and because of my current favourite album....

I haven't been updating on here because I have had a hermit type month. Being here for a month and a half not working exhausted my funds and my first paycheck at the beginning of June was only for a couple of weeks work so i have been beyond skint. Quite happily not drinking, not so happily not eating properly and a phenomenal amount of Team KikiKik tv watching happening as Kalli has been as skint as I.

Additionally the wonderful Svenni and Begga have been away on Tour as has Viddi. The Fox came to stay for a week but this too was a very calm non going out week.
Sruli left for Oz this week for 3 months and that is a very strange thing now he isn't here. I was hoping to nab his flat possibly but that didn't happen.

I am going to look at a possible new home tomorrow which would be from August onwards and is ridiculously close to my workplace which would be rather good. I am starting to urgently crave my own kitchen and a touch more space than I currently have. We'll see.

Things on the Kiki-Ow front are simmering away quite nicely. I have several collaborations up my sleeve woldwide - New York, Iceland, London. In addition I have been asked to play some rather incrdible gigs such as Torture Garden, but my childhood traumas of choir embarrassment mean i am somewhat shy of audiences no matter what size.

Kiki-Ow is not remotely shy of Djing for audiences though. Curver and I have a night booked for Bar 11 and have been asked to play Prikið all within the month of July.

First up however is Fanny's wedding next weekend. This means I get to go to London see my friends and get incredibly drunk in an 80s bridesmaid dress. How wonderous. More on that after the event.

For now, let me leave you with this video from The Knife's third album. This is absolutely incredible. go buy the album i say.

blegrghsabdmhaiwioweeeeaarghhh

i feel like i have been spinning round and round very fast and have just stopped.

i have been having various imaginary conversations in my head with people and then when i see them i wonder why they haven´t paid any attention.
this weather is lame as feck. its been a week of the grey and damp. enough already.

^ this, is roughly how my brain has been operating for a week, but yet generaly in good spirits. lots of things which were supposed to happen didn't. bright nights at the forefront. what an impressive debacle that ended up. which incidentally worked out for us in the end anyway. Curver instigated a social gathering of cocktails and chat round his which was incredibly enjoyable. besides which we have another night at bar eleven next month which will be all ours all night and i personally cannot wait.

it has been a time of fluidity. viddi has returned from playing russia and today svenni and begga leave to play france and belgium. certain things have exited stage right in order for others to step into scene. sruli is shortly departing for the australian horizon until winter and erna is returning from slovenia. friendships and relationships take twists and turns in ways foreseen and unforeseen. it is a very strange time to be standing still.

i am feeling restless in my tiny home and am looking for somewhere else with just the one eye. i long for a kitchen which only has my stuff utensils in it. i long to stay central as i dont have any transport and i long for all this in exchange for minimal cash. and then i woke up.

there is more waiting with regard to the SG issue and a tick tock in the back of my head as i formulate a back up plan. the images from the last shoot i did are incredible.

The Fox arrives here tomorrow for a long weekend. She´s been on tour in the extremely hot italy. she is going to have a shock to her system. additionally a shock when she sees me too for i decided to shave my hair off. partially because i wanted short hair again and then someone at work jibed i was too old to have the balls and well, that more or less gets my attention. the accusation of not having balls.

i temporarily panicked as the first few strokes of the clipper started. but i am very pleased and some of my friends who normally revel in an opportunity to make fun have actually been complimentary. now i am desperate to get hold of a 50s american navy suit. yes yes.

here is what i look like in pink. its (obviously) kiki-ow related. and on that matter there is a new kiki-ow collaboration on the horizon. which will rule and i am exicted about. yes yes.

Sometime all the time

Do things ever slow down I wonder. Well they did this weekend, temporarily. I decided it was time to rest up for a while. Before i did so however, on Thursday I went to Hafnarfjordur to go and see some bands. Sometime primarily but also stayed and watched Mr Silla after many recommendations to do so. I had yet to see the wonderous Sometime due my not living in the same country and inappropriately timed gigs. So just to make sure I got the whole picture I went to see them again on Saturday in Danni Sometime's girlfriend's shop KVK (which incidentally has some tasty little numbers in it).




They are great and Rosa's voice does weird things to my insides. Its a proper old school jazz voice. I heart it. So the upshot is I am proud and you are not about to see a press release announcing Kitty Von-Sometime's divorce of association.

This coming weekend DJ Cuver and DJ Kiki-Ow will be playing on the same day as Sometime at the Bright Nights festival this weekend, as are many other wonderous people. So you should be there. Truefact. And I will have seen them 3 times in just over a week. Sometime all the time.

The rest of the weekend was spent mostly in bed, me and CSI Grissom had some hardcore time together (I couldn’t tell you how many episodes I watched without sounding like a lunatic) and Team Kikikik got some Kevin Smith dosage. The weekends rest was only interrupted on Sunday night by a trip to the Reykjavik Tropik festival specifically to see ESG along with everyone it seemed. Now they were wonderful. No one I spoke to had ever heard Nasa cheer so loudly as it did throughout that gig. Curver and I danced our asses off near the front and all I kept wondering was whether ESG had any idea they were going to be so appreciated in such a random place for it.




I wasn’t really in the mood for being out generally so we departed fairly swiftly after and at Curver’s insistence opted for a punishing amount of tequila in Sirkus instead. Punishing in a way which meant I felt it and then some the following morning. I am off the drink. Ignoring ‘a’ pleasant glass of red vino or whathaveyou I really do not feel like consuming alcohol. We’ll see how long it lasts eh?

Today though, I awoke bright and relatively sparky and arrived at work with a warning that I was going to kill the boss for somesuch. That somesuch is my little blurb here: www.hexia.net/about

Fair enough I must say it isn’t the best photo even for the celebrity stalker in me but who cares! Fuck Princessness, I have moved up in the world. I am now Queen. Ha. My dad will despair.

Apart from the usual working through internet stuff today Danni asked me to go record texttones and ringtones with my posh voice. This then digressed to faux orgasm recordings (of the When Harry Met Sally ilk) for ringtones too. Not only did I feel extremely silly but when I heard it back I realised how incredibly odd it would be if I heard someone’s phone ringing with me mock cumming.

Dear Lord.

In other news Kiki-Ow did a new ditty. Its only an extremely rough work at the moment as I spent little over an hour on it. But its got the basics. Something to bastardise in the studio when I get chance to get back there. Viddi is manic enough with Trabant tours and things so the final final cut of I’m Too Sexy is having to wait. I am giving Curver first dibs on the new tune, lets see how twisted it gets shall we?

Wrong-Eyed Jesus and Pornstars

Ladies and Gents i would like to introduce you to Wrong-Eyed Jesus magazine.





This is where you will be seeing some of my most vile and depraved writing to date. The first issue will be out in the end of June. Until then, you can go here:

To the overspill ramblings

and
to add us as friends within the myspazz.


Go do so.

Other news is Kiki-Ow has been asked to DJ at the opening party of a new sex shop. This is far too apt to even comment on.
