Catatonic Digressions: Peter Murphy - 2009 Tour Dates (2 NYC shows) ++ SXSW, Trent Reznor, and...

About My Blog.

Welcome! This is "Catatonic Digressions."

Most readers don't understand my blog's title. It's an old inside joke from a forum long gone. I was going to change it, but since it's been "confusing" for so long, I decided to leave it. Don't worry about what it means, the content of the blog is what matters...or not

Unfortunately, my blog isn't what I set out for it to be. A sick woman in Orleans, MA began stalking me in 2007 on Myspace. Since that time, this woman obsessed over me to the point of having the police come to her home and threaten to confiscate her laptop. She is a racist and anti-Semite.I could no longer blog freely, knowing this nutbag was just going to take the photos I'd post and put them on a child exploitation website.

This site is only up for the information it has that others might need to know about. That information is about "Seal Shepherd" aka Michael McDade, Kat McAboy aka Marilyn McAboy and Veronika Hompo, a self-proclaimed Nazi.

I'm a real person. I'm real and I don't pretend to be someone I'm not. After years of putting up with online abuse by manipulative, pathological liars, attention whores or narcissists, I've had it. Don't bother me with pathetic drama. I have no time for these types of people and their need to absorb others' time and attention.

This blog is no longer used. I've retired it for the most part unless something very important comes up.

Please, join Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, and follow them on Twitter and Facebook.

Peter Murphy @ Gramercy Theatre June 26, 2008 (more by Lori Baily)

Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy made a rare appearance at Austin's South By Southwest festival today (March 19, 2009), coming all the way from his adopted home in Turkey to perform for a packed house at Elysium.
Backed by a four-piece band, the goth legend performed several songs from his extensive solo catalogue and pranced around the stage dramatically throughout the 45-minute set.
In between songs, Murphy bantered with the crowd and delivered a message to any musicians in the room. "This is about music, not radio friendliness," he said. "The artist has more power than anybody. The artists must know that they are the centre of it."
At one point, Murphy even handed his microphone to audience members who proceeded to ask him questions. When a woman asked how it felt to reunite with Bauhaus recently, Murphy said, "Bauhaus are very nice chaps but they are exhausting!"
Later in the evening, a man in the crowd shouted, "We fucking love you, Peter!"
"I'm sure you just want to enter my body," quipped Murphy in response, "which is not love." [NME]

Murphy is coming back to the US for solo shows this summer. That tour includes a two-show NYC run at the Highline Ballroom in July. Tickets for the Monday, July 6th andTuesday, July 7th shows are on sale.

If Murphy's gigs this summer are anything like his SXSW set, the music will be mainly focused on material from his upcoming album. Speculation about that album...

[Peter Murphy's forthcoming] album may feature production fromTrent Reznor of NIN and feature Peter's version of the track "Warm Leatherette," which they have been performing live together... [Wikipedia]

Murphy sang with Reznor on the NIN song "Reptile" in Atlantic City last year. The pair are no strangers to collaboration. In 2006, while on the road together with their respective bands, Reznor and Murphy recorded live, in-studio versions of a number of tracks, including "Warm Leatherette" and "Reptile." Videos of those, videos from Peter Murphy's SXSW set, the Chase Bank commercial featuring Myrphy's voice and all known tour dates, below...

A Philosophy for Living Life

A Philosophy for Living Life [ Learned from Mutts ] - Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride. - Stretch before rising out of bed. - Be loyal. - Don't present yourself as something you're not. - Let friends touch you; Enjoy all tummy rubs, hugs, and pats on your head. - Then again, go tickle others' tummys, hug them, and pat them on the head! - On cold nights, curl up with someone warm (or take their blanket). - When you're excited, speak up! - Be gentle with the earth. - Enjoy life's simple pleasures. - Delight in the simple joy of a long walk. - It doesn't hurt to sit or walk in the rain. It can be relaxing. - Learn to listen. - Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have. - Make the world your playground. - Don't attack others for being a different color or shape. - Always find a good place in the sun to relax and take a nap. - Take a nap again. - When you've done something bad, hiding can only work for so long before they find you. - Worst comes to worse, you can always take a nap. - Give generously. - No matter how often you are criticized, run back into life and make friends. - Forgive. Don't let a little dispute break a great relationship. - Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. - Dance around when you're happy! - Dance like nobody's watching. - If you stare at someone long enough, eventually you get what you want from them. - When someone is having a bad day, be silent and sit close by. Hugs help. - Don't leave a tasty meal unattended for long. - Dare to get off the ground. - Leave the house once in awhile. - Make others feel better about themselves. - Silence is sometimes the best answer. - No matter how serious you need to be sometimes, everyone needs a friend to be goofy with. - The small everyday happenings make life special - Even under the hardest of exteriors is someone who wants to be loved and appreciated. - Don't let others invade your territory. - Know who are your natural allies. - Not getting what you want is sometimes a stroke of luck. - Sometimes you will get a second chance. - Learn that you still have a lot to learn. - Never stop learning new things!
