Fear of Failure... and Success

In 1970, Dock Ellis (a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates) pitched a no-hitter while tripping on LSD.

On a deep note: Doc says that he took drugs to deal with his fear of failure... and success.

The quote of the week comes from Tom Morello (The Nightwatchman, Audioslave, RATM) in the movie Poliwood. "You don't have to have an honors degree in political science from Harvard to have a political opinion... I just happen to have an honors degree in political science from Harvard..."

Five Dirty Li'l Questions

Q: Who’s on your mp3 player?
Damn:  This week it's Slayer, MeShell Ndegeocello, Sade, Fishbone, Billy Cobham, Lamb of God, Dream Theater, Kevorkian, Public Enemy and Iron Maiden.

The Deacon: Afro-Punk Vol2: FUCK ROCK STARS; Queen Of The Damned (soundtrack); In Your Mouth - MDLS; The Sisters of Mercy, Switchblade Symphony; Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

The Monster: Dead Weather, Argent, Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, Blondie, MDLS- In Your Mouth, Rage Against the Machine, System of a Down.

Q: Favorite porn star.
Damn: Heather Hunter, Janine Lindenmulder

The Deacon:
I prefer amateur; regular folks who just set up a camera.  Real, shapely women, no skinny blondes for me!

The Monster:
They're all my favorites:) But... Belladonna, Kapri Styles, Hailey Paige, Katsumi, et al. All the different flavors. Yum.


Q:  What’s the Secret?
Damn: We think of our music as an old-time blues singing, guitar playing mama from way down south who hooked up with a tattoo’d punk, balls out rocker. We’re in a sense their bastard musical offspring - Mama’s dirty little secret (SMILE)

The Deacon: Yeah (nodding head)...

The Monster: The secret is: Your daddy ain't your daddy but your daddy don't know.


Q: The Story of Anvil is getting a lot of attention. Who do you think should have been bigger but never quite made it?
Damn: A couple of local bands from back in the day I really thought were going to happen are HiddenPersuaders and Collision. I’m surprised Sevendust isn’t bigger. Skunk Anansie is huge in Europe, but for some reason never pulled large numbers here in the States.

The Deacon: I know there are some, but I can't seem to remember much at this moment ;)

The Monster: Every black rock band should've been bigger, from 24/7 Spyz and Bad Brains to Fishbone and Living Colour. All of them.

Beautiful Night But Still No Fucking Lyrics

It was a beautifully clear night as I walked home from rehearsal last night - bright, full moon, stars aplenty... simply gorgeous.  I thought there's got to be some lyrics in here somewhere.  Alas, nope.  Nothing came that wasn't cheesy.  I usually don't write lyrics without the music anyway, so I wasn't really expecting much. ;)

Fear of a New Song

Hey Sexy People!

Last Friday at rehearsal, we came up with some new tunes - which is always exciting!  We worked out the structure of "Who Am I" then went onto "Sunshine" (which Monster couldn't wait to show us!).  And I can't wait to play it for y'all.

We also began working on "Back & Forth We Rock!"  That's some hot shit right there.  It's a title we've had for the past year, but didn't know what the fuck to do with... we just know it had to groove.  Damn picked up the bass and laid down the groove.

It's funny for me, because every time I think it's time to write a new tune, I become terrified that I won't be able to write another good song.  And, usually, within the deepest moment of doubt, the universe sends me an idea!

The Monster and Damn are very collaborative in their writing.  I'm learning to be.  I mostly sit in a room lit by a small lamp, so it's kind of dark with a lot of shadows.  Pretty solitary, but that's just The Deacon.

We're "The Man" Now!

I ran across a blog called Booker Rising, "for Black Moderates and Black Conservatives" (really!) who featured AfroPunk. The Black Conservatives are positioning themselves as the alternative to the Alternative.
If that's the case, then I declare that we're officially "The Man!"

And with that, go and start running shit! With love and compassion and all the good stuff, of course.

Expose Yourself


Mama's Dirty Li'l Secret
Hey Sexy People!

Expose Yourself
According to Billboard, the #1 thing an artist can do to promote their music is to get a "synch placement in a TV ad for Apple." So, Ariel Publicity - Cyber PR put out "The Indie Maximum Exposure List (A Guide For The Rest Of Us)."

Fishbone Reunion?
Dr. Mad Vibe tweeted that he may be ready for a Fishbone reunion. That's great, but what iteration of FB? Is is the original lineup, the "Reality..." lineup, the "Give a Monkey a Brain..." lineup, or the "Chim Chim..." lineup?

Where You At?


Mama's Dirty Li'l Secret
Hey Sexy People!

CMJ in NYC
We'll be hanging at a bunch of shows at the CMJ here in NYC this week. So much for getting any fucking sleep. And we're supposed to be excited by that, right? Yeah, man!

MyFace
I mistakenly asked someone what was their MySpace page and they replied "oh, I'm only on Facebook now." Clearly you don't have a band you're trying to promote (sucking teeth)... Rephrased inquiry: Where you at?

Music Blogs
Are you reading any cool music blogs? We'd love to know what minds you're suckling. Send them to us at Mama@MamasDirtyLilSecret.com.

Lez Go!


Mama's Dirty Li'l Secret
Hey Sexy People!

This Little Spider
Skunk Anansie, one of our favorite bands out of the UK, just released a greatest hits package. They've sold out stadiums around the world, shared the stage with the likes of Queen, but they don't get crap here in the U.S. Not surprising, but still a shame.

Miss Lez Pageant
Congratulations to our Sister, Queen Bee, on winning Miss Congeniality in the Miss Lez Pageant 2009! She represented Miss Choice Cunts in the fierce competition (meow!) at the Knitting Factory over the weekend.

Next MDLS Show
We're throwing a special early deeper-into-the-secret show at The Trash Bar. December 1, 8:30pm.
