KEANE AND KEANE

KEANE number one: A Brit? pop band who I like. Checked out their website yesterday. Their new CD out is called 'Hopes and Fears'. They sound just like Travis. I really thought my 90's obsession with Brit pop bands was only a stage but it is still goin on. Even my 'all time favorites' are English. David Bowie and Robert Smith. Love Belle & Sebastian. My 'Super Furry Animals' from Wales still have a special place in my heart:)Love chatting with my Scottish friends who love Oasis and growing/smoking their legal maryjane and making fun of my Scotch-Irish roots. They ask me if I'm really made outta booze. I am now a 'Ulster-Scot'. My funny friends from Wales like talking smack about the English and new local bands. I read somewhere (BBC) that the people of Wales have the purist blood/roots to the land than the English. English blood was mixed.(I'm thinking with Danish blood?) Half- blood prince? Any connection? I am definately headed to Ameoba records Hollywood this weekend.

KEANE number two: San Francisco artist and creator of 'Big Eye Art'. I would love to do a documentary about her for W channel. Her husband took credit for all of her paintings until a judge ordered him to paint during the divorce proceedings. Her x-husband replied, "I can't today, because I have a sore shoulder". She is currently living in Hawaii now and has converted into a Jehovia's Witness. I was lucky to have found one of her old paintings at a flea market in Pasadena for $20. I'm still searching for all "Big eye' stuff out there.
