genial schmierige, verängstigte Arschlöcher

So sorry that the Vagimule Doll hasn´t been writing regularly in the blogina but with her first solo museum exhibition Magnificent Product coming up at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm May 17, 2024, our lady has been a bit occupied to say the least.

Oh that juice mongering sexstud pal of The Vagimule Doll, the world famous Love Camel aka Andrea Novarin whois related to the Duchess of Parma is now back in London after a few years living in Scotland. All the young bubble butt, sexually voracious ginger boy beauties of England will certainly be happy to have their favourite Kinky Dom back in towne. The Camel has been hosting a series of ribald Bukake parties at secret locations where he makes everyone wear a Donny Osmond mask while he is the only one in a very realistic Maria Osmond mask. Leave it to the Love Camel, the most clever of all hunky men. Can you imagine a greater event then 1000 Donny Osmonds spraying seed in every crevice of a tawdry niteclub floor?

Did you hear about that scientific study that was produced recently in the Netherlands that said that the act of shrimping is hereditary? It seems that most men get passed the shrimping genome from the maternal side of the family. Just another fun and interesting factoid that you learn from this revered and highly educational blog.

In other news all you gazillions of Billie Ray Martin fans can rejoice. Got a long overdue missive from the famed "Your Loving Arms" singer:

Dear BRM'sters and E 101 heads.

It's finally happening.
Electribal Memories

Released 15th March 2024 through Demon Music on 4 x CD, half speed mastered 180g vinyl, streaming/DL

Electribe 101 follow the 2022 release of their hugely acclaimed ‘lost’ second album Electribal Soul with a deluxe, definite reissue of their classic debut album.

Originally released in 1990, Electribal Memories was one of the first albums to emerge out of the nascent global house music scene which was - at that point - still very much the domain of 12” single and associated remixes. The album spawned several UK hit singles which saw the band perform on Top of the Pops on multiple occasions. Each performance felt like a glimpse into the future, one where pop music was tuned into the pulse of the dance floor and where club kids would become the faces of prime time music television.

Electribe 101 formed when Hamburg-born/London-based sometime S’ Express member Billie Ray Martin hooked up with four musician/producers from Birmingham (Joe Stevens, Les Fleming, Rob Cimarosti and Brian Nordhoff) who answered her brilliantly direct advert in the Melody Maker: "Soul rebel seeks musicians – genius only”.

They instantly hit upon a sound heavily influenced by the de rigueur deep house sounds of Chicago and Detroit but with a distinctive European twist. With Billie Ray up front, with a voice like ice on fire and looking as if she’d stepped forward in time from a circa-1966 Mary Quant catwalk, the band were instantly snapped up by Mercury Records and taken under the wing of Pet Shop Boys manager Tom Watkins.

The band released five singles in the UK, all of which featured on their debut album Electribal Memories: Tell Me When The Fever Ended, Talking With Myself, You’re Walking, Lipstick On My Lover and an incredible cover of Odyssey’s deep soul classic Inside Out. Remixes were plentiful and came courtesy of such electronic luminaries as Frankie Knuckles, Larry “Mr Fingers” Heard and Mantronix. When the album arrived in 1990, it was an instant hit with critics – an accurate prediction of the direction music would take over the next two decades, it was immaculately produced, poised, luxurious and soulful. In fact, it was difficult to believe it was a debut record at all.

After recording a brilliant follow up to Electribal Memories that stalled before release, Electribe 101 called it a day. Since then, the album’s reputation has grown in stature and many of its singles’ attendant remixes have become sought-after rarities. The cultural earthquake prompted by the late-1980s arrival on these shores of house, acid and rave prompted many a legendary club night and a generation of superstar DJ/producers. While there were a myriad of great club tracks produced in that heady period between 1988-1991, classic albums from the scene were rather more of a rarity. This was the one towering exception.

Electribal Memories will be available as a deluxe 4 CD set collecting together remixes, extended versions, radio edits and original band demos. The deluxe edition was compiled by club culture historian Bill Brewster and comes with new sleeve notes by Billie Ray Martin, a rapturous essay by Pete Paphides and original band photography from the era.

Up a Hunky Tree

The Evelyn Venable our glorious lady of perpetuity escaped the loud fireworks and bombardments of Silvestre by hiding away at a slinky, fashionable hotel for three headstrong nights of devout lesbian processing and contemplation of the end of one year to the next. The cutest blondine boy with quite a rack on him, brought her room service with a smile. Ms. Venable even had a truncated sexual spark in the hotel gym. Not on New Year´s Eve mind you. There was only a dullard family using the indoor Olympic swimming pool and spa, but a robust young man did come into the weights area briefly but when he saw Lady there he just went up to the sparkling water machine to fill two large bottles and scurried away to the elevator. On New Year´s Evening our Lady Fray went back to the gym around 10pm and there was no one to be seen, so she piddled away at some of the machines and dumb bells like she knew what she was doing and in pranced a Middle Eastern man in a robe and flip flops who immediately marched up to her and said, "You are my wife" then he proceeded to open his robe and pull out his Willis from very tight speedos. It didn´t take our heroine long to get on her knock knees to perform fellatio on the man. He then started to slap her in the face with his penis and his hand. Removing his bare foot from his thong sandle he started kicking Lady, and boxed her right ear, which began to ring and she lost her equilibrium for a second. Then the man ejaculated all over her face and  Lucinda Childs baby T. The volume of semen was quite unnerving.  The man then put his penis back in his swim trunks, closed his robe and zipped off to the elevator in a panic. The next day when Ms. Venable was checking out she saw the man from the night before with his real wife and young children leaving the hotel into a waiting town car.

Barry Keoghan of the film Salt Burn is one of those young Irish actors like Colin Farrell who is too blessed with bullet nipples and unadulterated wank. Mr. Keoghan may be a pud sized boy but he is a tiny package that is well calibrated for speed.

The Critical Barbra Conference that took place Dec 14-17th in Frankfurt am Main at the Goethe Universitaet, Kino am Filmmuseum and Jüdisches Museum was a triumphant success of an academic art congress. Kudos to Marcuse Siegelstein of CHEAP Kollektiv and lovesexy Vinzenz Hediger who came up with the brilliant concept over ten years ago and nursed it to completion with the help of a dedicated staff and award winning crew.

Most academic art conferences are drier then Melba Moore toast, but this one was very invigorating starting with Cheryl Dunye introducing Funny Girl in her indomitable style. Ms. Dunye has become a mainstream darling with helming such big hits as Bridgerton and Lovecraft Country, so the Film Museum was packed to the rafters and was a very spirited gathering indeed with some celebrities in attendance including Bettina Schulte Strathaus, French thrombone actors Romain Duris, Gre`goire Leprince-Ringuet, German darstellars  Florian Lukas, Frederick Lau, Franz Dinda, Henrietta Confurius and Jördis Triebel.

You can´t go wrong with the legendary Ms. Barbra Streisand, and the first day of the congress at the Jewish Museum was utterly divine. None of the lecturinas were boring in the least, starting off with Rebecca Rutkoff, Veronique Sina, Michele Aaron and Julie Lobalzo. Giving a performative twist to the scholarly was Toni Pape. The highlight of the day was the grande dame of German film letters Gertrude Koch who proclaimed that she wasn´t that big of a Barbra fan but did think the Barbra TV specials of the 1960s had more of an avante garde edge then her narrative films, and for good measure compared Barbra to Yiddish star Molly Picon showing one of Ms. Picon´s television offerings from the late 1950´s that featured the Queen´s Queen a young Charles Nelson Reilly who in the 1970s and 1980s was known for driving around West Hollywood in a gold plated Rolls Royce. Another special treat was the presentation by that marvel that is Heather Love. Heather is all substance, all chops, all the time and has such a commanding stage presence that is so damn comforting and engaging. Her take on the Streisand/Barry Gibb collaboration of the album Guilty was the tender cat´s meow.

Poor Marcuse came down with Covid so he couldn´t be at the event, but he sent the Fearless Leader of CHEAP Susanne Sachsse as an able substitute redesigning the stage set for the evening particulars that featured Angela Seo of Xiu Xiu and that Vagimule doll engaged in a twisted medly of La Streisandic melodies with Marcuse´s disembodied voice heralding forth like a psykik puppetmaster ala Mel Ferrer in the 1953 MGM musical/drama Lili starring Leslie Caron.

Because the program at the Jewish Museum was so spectacular, Ms. Davis didn´t get a chance to get her afternoon nap on, so she missed the morning session at the Goethe Universitaet the next day. What a shame in that she didnt´t get to hear Garrett Stewart´s talk A Voice Deep Inside-Streisand, Stanley Cavell, and the Philosophy of Song. Ms. D is anxious to purchase Stewart´s tome Streisand-The Mirror of Difference. She was able to hear the wonderful Verena Mund`s Ways to Get There. Stock Footage, Generic Aesthetics and Time Leaps in The Way We Were, David Gerstner´s What´s Up Doc? Barbra Streisand, Telephone Calls, and Auteur Theory which he dedicated to poor Danny Lochin, the bubble butt juvenile lead and dancer extroidinaire in Hello Dolly who was brutally murdered by a trick in Orange County ten years after the movie came out.

The conference ended on the perfect note with brilliant Elizabeth Bronfen´s The Joy of Flying coming back to Funny Girl and Yentl.
