I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT PRETTY MILITIA’S MUZIK ON MYSPACE!

PLEASE LIST AND COMMENT

YR

Today Monday May Twenty-Ninth around 20:00, I recieved a phone call that my father-in-law passed away. He was struggling the last few days in the Ageo Cancer Center in Saitama, and finally passed tonite…

He was a very open minded 70 year old photographer, and many times traveled to America, and everywhere else in the world.

He was a great inspiration to me…He supported all of my photo events, and music bookings, and even came to a few of my events.

The last event he attended was “bad language” at Aoiheya, He came out with his camera, black leather blazer, and a funky tie, and fell asleep on the coach at one point!
He used up my drink tickets, I introduced him to “Masako Togawa-san”.
And he lived through “Pretty Militia’s” live, and “Shoko and Hitsuji”

He went home on the first train that morning.

It is hard to believe I have been in Japan this long…for some of my friends it’s just a short stay. Kenji met all of my club friends, and they were really cool with him, and didn’t freak him out so much.

And for them it was not so strange for an Ojiichan to be out in the clubs, or Masako’s club…But the fact that we were actually related was the twist.

When I played the main floor at Webster Hall for the “Queen” party (it was a weekly Wednesday night thing),
my mother was hanging out with my “drag” friends, and the queens on the stage! I thought that was shocking for the club kids and queens!?

But they were too fucked up to realise that was my Mother, and well Micheal Alig dragged his mom around and even drugged her up…

Living in Japan has taught me a lot of amazing things and showed me simply and mistifying discoveries.
“how when a girl becomes a woman, and she discovers love. when she moans in extasy, as she is making love, the same sounds are as of the pain during her child’s birth…”

“and how a parent or a father will change his childs diaper and clean his child, and when he is on his death bed, this child will do the same for father.

I watched the daughter change her fathers daipers, as he did once before.

It may be hard to understand what I am trying to say…

I miss him, and all of my friends that died of HIV or CANCER in new york, and my older brother who also died of HIV last year…

I TOOK PHOTOS IN THE CLUBS , IT WAS MARTIN-X AND FUSHIA DOLL & BELLA, DOING PARTIES DOWNSTAIRS IN THE CHAPEL OF LIMELIGHT.

I TOOK PHOTOS AT THE RED ZONE, SUZANNE PARTIES AT THE COPACABANA AND AMAZON, AND SOME OTHER EARLY CLUB KID EVENTS.

NOBODY PAID ME NO ATTENTION, TILL I STARTED DEEJAYING…MARTIN BOOKED ME IN THE LIMELIGHT, TENNESSE WAS PLAYING ALOT THEN, AND ALSO SISTER DIMENSION, AND KEOKI WERE PLAYING ALOT ON THE MAIN FLOOR….

I WAS THE DEEJAY AT OUR WEEKLY EVENT IN THE BALCONY OF THE BALLANGER’S VIP ROOM.

“THE MAKE-UP ROOM” BY PETER FUCK’IN A. AND REIGN VOLTAIRE.

WE TRIED PARTIES BEFORE, BUT WE COULD NOT COMPETE WITH MICHEAL AND PETER GATIENS BUDGET BACK THEN…

WE DID “FANFUCKINTASTIC” AND “WORD OF MOUTH BITCH” AND HAD SOME OLD SCHOOL HAGS WITH OUR NEW SCHOOL FINNISH POSSE.

ANYWAY ONCE WE WERE AT WEBSTER-HALL AND HAD DOUG FUCKED-UP AT OUR PARTY WEEKLY, WE KNEW WE COULD GET PAID AND BRING OUR ORIGINAL AND FIRST OFFICIAL RUNWAY CLUB-KID PARTY TO LIFE.

THE WORLD AND THE BUILDING AND THE PALLADIUM WERE TORN DOWN.

MY IMAGES WERE THE POSTER OF PARTY MONSTER…AND BEFORE THAT THE FLYERS OF MANY PARTIES IN THE SCENE.
IT WAS LISCENED BY WORLD OF WONDERS FROM L.A.
(THEY GOT MY SLIDES FROM MICHEALS CRIB WHEN IT WAS BEING SEARCHED?)
(SO THEY SAID) THEY WERE OFFERING TO GIVE ME A COPY OF MY PICS TAKEN YEARS AGO FOR HIS BIRTHDAY PARTY, (I WAS NEVER FULLY PAID FOR THE SLIDES BY TUNNEL)

BUT WORLD OF WONDER ONLY SENT ME THE SLIDES TO JAPAN IF I AGREE TO LET THEM USE THEM IN A DOCUMENTARY.

NEXT THEY COPIED MY SAME PHOTO FOR A SECOND RELEASE OF THE PARTY MONSTER LAST YEAR! “YOU ALL KNOW WHAT PIC I AM TALKING ABOUT…”

ANYWAY, JUST RECENTLY SHOWED MY BEST PHOTOS EVER AT 1 MONTH PHOTO INSTALLATION IN THE “caniche courage GALLERY” (COMME DES GARCONS SHOWROOM) ALONG WITH THE WORKS OF SILVESTER RIBBON…

BACK TO MY MUZIK BIZZ…SONGS WERE PRODUCED BY MYSELF AND PETER A. (aka. height 611)THIS WAS AROUND THE TIME WHEN I GOT FIRED FROM “QUEEN” ON THE MAIN FLOOR OF WEBSTER HALL.

I WAS THEN HIRED BY MICHEAL TO PLAY THE MAIN ROOM AT TUNNEL…”GO FIGURE!?”

WE WORKED WITH EDDIE DAVIS AND ESU JESUS SANANDA, “SANANDA” WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO EVER DRAG ME INTO A STUDIO THEN MOSES DRAGED ME INTO THE STUDIO, I DRAGGED PETER, I DRAGGED JACKIE CHRISTIE, I DRAGGED WENDY BUTLER, ETC…

I HAD 3 STUDENTS WHILE I DEEJAYED “WENDY” (DURING THE DAYS OF MAKE-UP ROOM, THE TUNNEL AND ROBOTS.) “D.M.” (DURING MY DAYS AT THE CLIT CLUB+ THROB RECORDS) ” MAYBEE” ( MY LAST STUDENT IN TOKYO, DURING MY FIRST FEW YEARS IN JAPAN, AND DURING OUR LANGUAGE DAYS)

WHEN I WAS A DEEJAY IN MY VERY YOUNG DAYS, FEMALE DEEJAYS INSPIRED ME…

NEXT WE MEET JOHNNY VICIOUS. ONE NIGHT I WAS PLAYING AT THE TUNNEL (RIGHT BEFORE I GOT FIRED AND THEN HIRED BY STEVEN LEWIS TO PLAY AT SAVE THE ROBOTS) THIS SONG THAT SAMPLED PRINCE, HE THEN BOUGHT ALL OF OUR RECORDS WE MADE…

BILL COLEMAN HOOKED US UP WITH TOWA TEI & THE BELOVED.
HEX HECTOR BOUGHT MY KEYBOARD FOR $1000 CASH (I REMEMBER GOING TO U.S.A. TO PICK-UP MY MONEY) THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I GOT TO HEAR MY FIRST SONG PLAYED IN A MAIN ROOM. “T.N.T. LUV TRIP” LATER RELEASED ON WAAKO RECORDS/ STRICTLY RYTHM.

I USED TO PLAY THIS MIX A TRACK BY THE GOODMEN “GIVE IT UP” AND GEORGE KRANZ “DIN DAA DAA” ON THE MAINFLOOR OF WEBSTER HALL…
DAVID MORALES RELEASED A SONG ON STRICTLY RYTHM WITH THE SAME EXACT TWO SAMPLES, THE SAME EXACT WAY.

WE WORKED WITH HIROSHI WATANABE & SYUNJI MORIWAKI.
WE REMIX RICHIE RICH FOR SWOON RECORDS(TWO BOTTLES +611) YR AND TAKUMI NIHEI…

WE NEVER GOT A PROMO, WE NEVER GOT PAID!

TOOK PHOTOS OF FRANCOIS KEVORKIAN, JOI CARDWELL, KEVIN ROBINSON,JIIMI TENOR, RON ATHEY, CHARLES SCHILLING, DAWN STRAP-ON, HOUSE OF TWIST, HOUSE OF DELPHINO, & MORE…

WE RELEASED OUR OWN RECORD… “HEIGHT 611 PRODUCT E.P.” IT CONTAINED A TRACK “WET WHISPERS” LULA LOVED THISTRACK, BECAUSE DANNY TANEGELIA LOVED THIS TRACK AND PLAYED IT… PETER RAUHOFER STOLED THIS TRACK AND RELEASED IT ON HIS OWN LABEL.
EVEN AFTER WE WERE NICE ENOUGH TO RE-RECORD THIS TRACK WITH LULA’S VOCAL! IT WAS LATER CALLED “A MAN IS A DRUG!”

I COULD GO ON AND ON!

LEAVING NEW YORK HELPED ME TO FORGET HOW MANY PEOPLE DISSED ME IN THE INDUSTRY.

BUT, I MISS THE DAYS RUNNING AROUND WITH THE FABULOUS…JUST
GETTING INTO THE CLUBS, JULIE JEWELS WAS AT THE DOOR WITH
KENNY KENNY, AND THE SOUND FACTORY WAS ALL GAY & BLACK, THE PROJECTS THAT YOU HAD TO WALK THRU FOR SOUND FACTORY, AND THE CHOISE WASSCARRY.

THE CLUB-KIDS WERE WORKING AT PATRICIA FIELD’S & LIVING AT HOTEL 17 AND THE GRAMERCY HOTEL.

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE?

I ESCAPED FROM NEW YORK…

SEE WHY WE RULE THIS SCENE…THE STYLIST IS SILVESTER RIBBON & THE MUZIK IS YOUNG RICHARD a.k.a. PRETTY MILITIA.
