“Sometimes people think one type of artwork is different from another but anything that gets your juices flowing is the same.”
– Senon Williams of Dengue Fever
Dengue Fever is a band with a sound so wild you have to hear it to believe it. They are six person band with a native Cambodian singer named Chhom Nimol. Essentially they are a rock band with that bizarre foreign sound to it. It’s fucking great. I got a chance to talk with their bass guitarist Senon Williams about their album Escape from Dragon House.

“If you dont have pressure you’re not working hard enough.”
– Liam Howlett of The Prodigy
It’s hard to believe that it’s been ten years since The Prodigy broke into the mainstream with their catchy techno-like hits “Smack My Bitch Up” and “Firestarter.” Well now before The Prodigy releases new material on us later this year enjoy a collection of all their hits, Their Law: Singles 1990-2005.

“You fight because you realize that anything that would cause that much trouble must be worth fighting for.”
– Veronica Monet
Doing the interview with Veronica Monet was the first time I’ve ever talked with a professional escort that didnt end up costing me $300. Monet is a semi-retired escort that has just written the book, Sex Secrets of Escorts. It details all the things men want that she has gleaned from her 15 years of servicing them. While some may look down on the idea of women making money from having sex, Monet is a bit different. She’s written a number of books, is a certified graduate of San Francisco Sex Informations Sex Educator training and has appeared on such television shows as Politically Incorrect and A & E’s The Love Chronicles. So stop yapping about pocketbooks and listen up.

“What’s so terrific is that we did break those boundaries of sexuality and homosexuality and all kinds of things that were so taboo.”
– Sharon Stone
As the star of such ’80s classics as Action Jackson and Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol, Sharon Stone was the object of many film geeks fantasies. She increased that demographic when she became an international star with the lead in Basic Instinct and later her Oscar nomination for Casino. Now Stone is reprising her role as the bisexual murderess Catherine Tramell in the sequel Basic Instinct 2.

“I prefer to think of myself as an Oki Dog wrapped in pastrami wrapped in a tortilla.”
– Xeni Jardin
Xeni Jardin is a journalist, a blogger, and a TV pundit. As a co-editor of BoingBoing, one of the most popular blogs on the Web, Jardin serves as an Internet-based coolhunter for the futuristic, or, as Defamer puts it, a “sexpot Wired reporter sent from 15 minutes in the future to send back information about our inferior technology to some alien race.” In addition to writing for Wired, Jardin files reports on subjects ranging from robot battles to zero gravity flight for NPR’s “Xeni Tech” and opines regularly on the latest high tech gadgetry for CNN and Fox News. Part Fritz Lang’s Maria in “Metropolis,” part Marilyn Monroe on a cellphone, in Jardin, as the LA Times advises, we may behold the wizard of blogs.

“It’s tough not having more people to relate to you as a women.”
– Karen O
The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs have just released Show Your Bones, the follow up to their hugely successful 2003 album Fever to Tell. Born out of the New York garage scene, the single “Maps” put them on the map and they havent looked back since. I caught up with the incredible Karen O before the band embarked on their latest tour.

“On my radio show I just play what I want. With my band I just do what I want. On the talk show I just want to talk about what I want. Isn’t that what the whole idea is, live and uncut.”
– Henry Rollins
A lot of people out there think that it’s not a good idea for these ranting and raving pundit types to have their own TV shows. Well now we’ve got our very own incensed host on TV, Henry Rollins with the aptly named Henry Rollins Show. For those who may not know of Henry, both of you, Rollins cuts an imposing figure in the hardest of rock concerts as a seminal member of Black Flag and founder of Rollins Band. A man covered in as many famous tattoos might seem an unlikely candidate for a talk show until you hear Rollins speak. Whatever comes out of his mouth is the truth. Rollins is an astonishingly well read man who is at just as much at home acting alongside Al Pacino as he is vomiting in a Siberian train bathroom.
