Album Notes: Deadboy & The Elephantmen: Dax Riggs (vocals, guitar); Tessie Brunet (vocals, drums); Rikki Rhodes (guitar, piano, bass instrument); Shane Herbert (guitar); Aaron Thomas (euphonium); Bear (tuba); John Perry (bass instrument); Rob Cournoyer, Lucas Broussard (drums). Louisiana duo Deadboy and the Elephantmen consists of guitarist and vocalist Dax Riggs, a childhood runaway whose previous band, the teen heavy metal combo Acid Bath, won local fame and notoriety, and drummer Tessie Brunet, whose primitive percussive style fits Riggs's garage band-influenced songs like a nicely worn old pair of jeans. Riggs's complex background (he was raised as a Jehovah's Witness before rejecting the religion) is apparent in the nightmare imagery in songs like "Ancient Man" and "Misadventures of Dope." "Stop, I'm Already Dead" has a perfect singalong chorus, while the Cramps-like "Blood Music" and "Kissed By Lightning" add swampy voodoo imagery to Riggs's metal roots. But Deadboy and the Elephantmen's truly individual vision is best displayed in "How Long the Night Was," with its meandering introduction, driving groove, and oddly psychedelic overtones.
Album Reviews: Rolling Stone (p.60) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Tessie Brunet, 23, is a powerhouse behind the drums....The addictive punk-blues explosion on 'Blood Music' fairly oozes with raw shimmy and shake." Magnet (p.97) - "[W]ith such emotional substance informing these songs, it's hard to resist getting inside the head of this very promising talent."

Advantages: Excellent TV + radio channels Disadvantages: A lot of bureaucracy to overcome for installation
...the same members are elected and do the job on a voluntary basis. One of the previous committees had blown several thousand pounds of the residents' money on lawyers' fees for the leasehold conversion to freehold and buying the head lease. There was so much internal politics going on that the needs of the residents came last.
There is a multitude of nationalities living in the flat complex. They would love to see TV channels in their own language. It was scandalous that no replacement satellite system was found once the Sky analogue signal was switched off.
I really missed WWF Wrestling and QVC.
But we could still see German channels via the analogue system. So I watched QVC Germany instead of the UK version. Barbara was my favourite German QVC presenter. I occasionally viewed the RTL channels. If Baz is reading this then I would...
