THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN OLD JUNKIE…

This would make a fantastic Marc Jacobs “campaign” for his latest collection,wouldn’t it Wendy..?

Odd that he doesn’t “use” your face (or name ) in his advertising isn’t it..?

It works brilliantly for MY advertising..

Much Thanks to Focus 12..

“DON LETTS TOLD ME NOT TO GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE PUBLIC…” Wendy James

“Don Letts told me not to give a fuck about the public..”

Wendy James in her “Inside The Wendy House” Hot Press Interview 2007..

Did he now..?

Did he really..?

Hope Don buys lots of copies of your new album Wendy.

The public you don’t give a fuck about sure won’t.

“IN A WORLD OF THIEVES THE ONLY FINAL SIN IS STUPIDITY…” Hunter S Thompson

“Where did Wendy James get the strange title for that tour DryBaby..?”

I was asked this week..

I dunno..

Who can guess with an ORIGINAL mind like her..

Maybe she dreamt it whilst filthy drunk somewhere..

“…In a closed society where everybody’s guilty, the only crime is getting caught.

In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity…”

“..MORE OF THAT MICK JONES INFLUENCE…”

Is THIS odd photograph more of that Mick Jones influence too..?

This is something you NEVER read in 2004.

(an “early draft” of the now infamous 2004 “official” Quite Great Press Release…Pete loves his “early drafts”..)

You will recognize certain parts which made it to the “official” P.R release.

The “Mick Jones” and “fellow nyc’ers Big Audio Dynamite” (yep seriously!) references did not..

racine – number one (2004)

the return of wendy james is of course a news worthy issue. the fact that she is returning with an album that most people will never want to admit is as good as it is all makes for the return even more fascinating.

rather than going over the woman’s illustrious past lets jump right into this sparkling new album.

rather than go into some big fancy studio with major label backing and a host of well known producers, which, with current demand for returning 80’s pop stars, you can just see would be a massively easy money option – wendy has chosen a far more interesting route back into the pop worlds collective conscious.

having relocated recently to nyc she formed new bonds with her drum machine and decided to learn every other instrument available to her to create the noises here, including guitar/bass/piano – no computers outside of the beats were used. making everything here all self made and self released as she then decided to form her own label (pia-k recordings), thus avoiding all the usual shark infested waters and maintaining the essential control factor.

for all the discussion and revelations in recent interviews that dr dre and eminem are the creators of the best new sounds the album sounds very traditionally old school indie with a splash of drum machine and subtle synthesizer noises. in fact, after several spins the albums 2 sonic reference points are fellow nyc’ers Joy Zipper and Big Audio Dynamite. there are the sunny uplifting indie guitar sweetness that joy zipper have excelled at in recent times matched against the odd flurry of beatbox programs and laidback guitar lines (hence the Big Audio Dynamite connection).

ok, the album doesn’t jump out and grab you, instead its a subtle beast that creeps up on you in such a warm and pleasant manner that when you realise just how much you have enjoyed the last 40+ minutes you press the start button again just to make sure..

starting off with the uptempo ‘the man’ (with gloriously catchy ‘its so easy’ vocal loop) its obvious that wendy has really learnt how to use her vocal skills, using doubled up vocals she sounds vibrant and completely on form. ‘grease monkey’ is next and is to be the albums first single release. with its throbbing bass synth line this comes over as a fine electro-rock groover, which if given a proper remix job by people who love the original could slay the dancefloor monsters. a great track. sensuous pounding beats and breathless lyrics make this addictive. breaking the style a little with the old broken piano led ‘princess patience blues’ is a lovely little tune that compensates for the slightly annoying screechy vocal loop that permeates through the next track ‘hip hop 156′ that aint hip hop at all, but actually sounds like an old transvision vamp b-side.

the track that really surprised me the most though, has to be ‘w.13th’, with its laid back blue beat ska type bass line and harmonica line like some long lost one dove out take. very brave and kinda cool – it works, just. as do several other tracks throughout, whether it’s the britpop throwaway fun of ‘blond mink mimi’ recalling the days when another woman lead guitar group louise wener’s sleeper were ruling the headlines. somehow creating a weird level of nostalgia for such innocent days. unfortunately though for some, ‘heavy metal dude’ is not a full on industrial ministry-style rock anthem, but more of the slight beats, tight rhythm guitars, punchy pianos and a quality ending involving all sorts of ‘ba-ba-babababa’, beat breakdown and dubbed up guitars –

more of that mick jones influence ?

as expected, moods are mellowed towards the albums end with the orchestrations of ‘cakewalk’ and the downbeat but determined ‘life goes on’ (‘i’ve stood my ground where so many fall’), giving slight insights into wendys obvious intentions.

the level of variety in the instrumentation and production may be a negative for some, but, it does mean that the album has a consistent sound throughout with very little in the way of modern pop music concessions. so, it’s a good job that the songs are as bubbly, sharply focused and melodically strong as they are. for the second album wendy will recruit a whole bunch of nyc musicians to create her sounds live, so i expect that the small, rounded, warm, lo-fi sound that she has created here will be expanded upon – if it works and she still manages to maintain the level of control over the results, as she has done here, remains to be seen, as this album is an obvious indicator of the womans pop music talents. something i suspect will be hard to admit for many ..

a fine proper pop album by a proper pop star.

Wendy James “performing” at Disgraceland,Sydney Australia  June 5th…

The Gender Bender..

If you can call looking very ill,pale,extremely coked up and “confused”..

Performing.

Wendy has been VERY camera shy recently..

You’d swear she was HIDING something..

Wouldn’t you..?

Cough.

Enjoy the photos..

If you can..

Disgraceful.

Yes she IS looking at the sleeve of her own album knowing full well it is a picture of her snorting cocaine in a toilet.She looks suitably ashamed and guilty..!

No.

LITTLE BABY NOTHING…

This is yet ANOTHER of the Australian Paying-My-Dealer deejay flyers..

Which MYSTERIOUSLY don’t seem to be appearing on Wendy’s (cough) “Homepage”…

I wonder why..?

Could it be the “Creem Magazine” photo (1989) which I uploaded in 1998 onto WendyJames.Nu in the middle..?

(Wendy is holding a black guitar in the full photo)

Could it be the use of ‘MCA’,'Universal’ and ‘Uni‘ logos which have expired 20 years ago..?

The cynical use of a 1988 “Transvision Vamp” photograph to give the impression the band are still active..?

Or is the lack of ANY photo of Wendy James herself from May 2009..?

How about the lack of “Racine” anywhere..?

Truly pathetic..

Wendy must be desperate.

I think I even feel a tiny bit sorry for her..

If she’s reduced to this charade and trickery..

Whoever designed this (and of course it WASN’T Wendy..) very sad flyer..

Should hang their head in shame.

Still..

I was right yet again..

Wasn’t I..?

So that’s the silver lining..

“I’ve seen that the wankers who snort cocaine and have their head stuck up their own arseholes are in the rock stars’ graveyard…”

(Click All To Enlarge And Read Every Wonderful Word)

After many requests to REPOSITION this article in a much higher profile position..

I have decided to do so.

(New headline as well so help yourselves..kay?)

“Bimbo or The Brains Of Pop”

This is perhaps THE classic “do as I say not do as I do” type interview from Wendy..

For example…

“Anyway I believe in Karma..nice people will survive and bad people will trip up..I’ve just been out to L.A and I’ve seen that the wankers who snort cocaine,pat each other on the back and have their head stuck up their own arseholes are in the rock stars’ graveyard…”

Out of her own mouth too..!

and this lovely turn of phase…

“Something which I really despise is the ridiculous divide between the pop star up on the pedestal and the so called plebbie audience who actually put them up there in the first place..”

You and me both babe thus the DryBaby Experience for your good self…!

And there are more such nuggets in the rest of the interview..

(Wendy saying she will NEVER pose topless etc and criticising those who do violently..)

“it is definitely a marketing exercise to get men interested..”

So lemme get this straight….

No cocaine..

No back slapping..

No head stuck up one’s own arsehole..

No cynical topless shots to sell records in tacky tabloids…

No gassing jews in concentration camps..

No killing tiny kittens..

No stealing from charities..

Thanks for that helpful guide to how to live one’s life properly.

Wendy..

I respect you for it..

The main photo is pretty cool too isn’t it..?

(It says so much..)

Nick Sayer must have been sick to the back teeth of Wendy..

And was thinking of his future royalties..

Without her.

WENDY JAMES IS “STILL SELLIN’ DRUGS”…

WENDY JAMES STILL SELLIN’ DRUGS…

(feel free to make up your own jokes at this point..)

This is Wendy James in Australia..

She is taking part in a club night called..

“STILL SELLIN’ DRUGS..”

It’s being “hosted” by a couple of guys who design t-shirts in Australia..

Will Wendy be wearing her official “Elena Gallen” tee or their material I wonder..?

(Wendy doesn’t “do” brand loyalty if there’s some coke involved..)

Here’s how they describe it in their own words..

“Our friends will be DJing, Ivy got Wendy James on board, plus a few alcohol sponsors… should be an epic night with all our friends..”

Wendy’s “1991 topless” (yet again!) head is placed to “cover up” the word “drugs”..

(obviously not THAT anti-establishment or rebellious after all huh..?)

But of course you can still see it..

And yes there is NO mention of “Racine” of course..

Just a band who broke up almost 18 years ago..

and the “TITS” photo taken 18 years ago too.

You saw it in this part of the world here first.

Remember that.

Kay..?

Looking forward to the

“Wendy James Is Selling Child Porn For A Few Bucks”

Club night soon.
