DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!

DONT CALL IT A COMBACK

after thinking a lot of things over I came to the conclusion i really liked
writing the 'Diaries' and the Blog just wasnt the same and wasnt really
inspirational.  So, im not gonna worry about the politics and jealousies and
just do what i want and be done with it.  if anyone enjoys it, hey all the
better.  if you dont like it thats fine too.  The Diaries are PURELY for
entertainment purposes only so please do me the favor and keep that in mind.

Now, to answer a few questions...YES, David Chapple WILL be at all shows
playing bass.  His beautiful daughter ( Stella, born in Feb!) and wife are
doing fine and no, i dont know if he named her after his favorite lager...Hung
out with Daddyo a few weeks ago at his house and went to a pub with Chapple as
well. We're all up for the SF shows.  Im really excited that Johnny plays with
us.  We all are.  I think less evil happens when he's around!

The record Rusty and I produced/ partially co-wrote by Jillian Wheeler ought to
be out soon.  She is set to tour the states, 40-plus shows, June 25 to August
15. she's got a crack band behind her and Gwen Stefani's musical director so i
think she's in good hands.  i just wrote out much of the music and chord charts
for the band and fax off to them so that the tunes can sound as close as
possible to the record.  Oh, she also just turned 14 May 25 so her whole
creative life is right in front of her.  And I must say, adults could learn
from Jillian's professionalism and willingness to learn and prepare 100% before
stepping in a studio.  even though she didnt bring a noticable ego into the
studio, she brought a serious 'srat-like' quality on the record.  And David
Nolte played some kick-ass bass on the record!  So fingers crossed that
Jillina's record is a success and also biggest thank you to everyone who looked
after me when i needed it most.  THANK. YOU. And to the few of you (no more
than 3) who were cruel and classless, well, I think your own negativity is your
reward.

Rusty and me and Daddyo and Chapple have been writing songs and well i'll leave
it pretty much at that but it's fun and great and its also nice that cool,
influential people in the business are encouraging us more and more.  that's a
really nice thing, something we appreciate.  there's also been the never ending
Baby Lemonade Retrospective idea that we never seem to take further.  I hope
sometime this year a small label works with us to get something out, which
would be nice.  The first Baby Lem release was in 1992 so damn it's been 13
years now, innit?  Well, we're always serious about moving forward and being
positive and we've been blessed with the best music lovers in the world that
come and check out the live performances of Love.  Let's hope the remainder of
2005 carries some really great things and no more disappointments.


all the best, Mike
