When Amoeba Music, billed as “the largest independent record store on the planet”, had it’s grand opening in Los Angeles last Saturday morning, Twiggy was among the many record collectors who’d waited in line -- some from 4:30 in the morning -- to get first grabs at the merchandise when the doors opened at 10:30 a.m. Other first-in-liners included Beck, Wynona Ryder and Jim Wilson of the Rollins Band.
I've added two new pictures -- one from GGG/Ozzfest in the Live section, and one from the "Tainted Love" video in the Candid/Miscellaneous section.
The "Tainted Love" video premiere and Making of the Video special will air as follows on MTV: Monday, November 19 at 8:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.; Tuesday, November 20 at 3:00 p.m.; and Wednesday, November 21 at 1:30 p.m. All times are Eastern Standard Time.
According to www.theweathermen.com the Guns, God & Government DVD will be released next month and is available for pre-order. A VHS version will ship on December 18, followed by the DVD version on December 25. I must caution, however, that this site has on occasion jumped the gun on release dates and there has not been an official announcement of a release date from Manson's people as yet.
The video for "Tainted Love" was shot this past weekend in Los Angeles. Directed by Philip Atwell (Eminem, Dr. Dre), it is scheduled to premiere on November 19. MTV was reportedly also on hand for the shoot, filming a "Making of the Video" special. The "Tainted Love" single hits record stores on December 4th.
Life On Mars' reopening bash, at which Twiggy was scheduled to appear as a Guest DJ this Friday, has been cancelled due to "unforeseen circumstances", according to its web page. The event will be rescheduled at some time in the future, but whether Twiggy will still DJ was not specified. You can join the Life On Mars mailing list for future updates (see my news item of October 21st for the link to the web page) or check back here for further information as it becomes available.
Three pics have been added, 2 of them to the Live page (GGG/Ozzfest) and 1 to the Promo page (ACS/SLC).
