My man-woman recognition skills ...

... have suffered, I must accept defeat.

He/she doesn't refer to himself/herself as either, but as "them", that has a nice touch to it:

Mark, perhaps you want to consider them for the Nasty Habits?

Good and enthusiastic drumming, but kind of sobering how much of Shania "live" is tapes and loops. $:-\$ And she's certainly not the only one. Yes, it sounds perfect, but is that the point?

Reminds me of the actor who plays the spaceship's doctor on the Netflix sci-fi series "Another Life."

Especially in today's context I have only sincere admiration for anyone that chooses to live proudly outside of my (U.S.) societal norms, my transsexual bandmates both live their lives as women 24/7 and while they're different (one is Post Op, one not) they both choose to identify as female. I'm obviously somewhere else on that scale, I enjoy my given male gender very much but have a very feminine part as well, and don't hide it. "Them" as a label probably wouldn't work for my band, or me, but again that's ok, it's a label and I don't like to get caught up in labels much anymore.
Regarding the drumming it's very good and enthusiastic, them probably doesn't really need loops and tapes to play so well, Rock is best when it's done "in the moment", not canned or driven by machines, much less over production in the studio. We played on NYE with a Sub drummer that's about 32, he really came to play, he and drove the effing bus hard, the band cooked very nicely. Rock is a young one's game.

Here's my bandmate, Ms. Ginger Li, speaking publicly about the nasty Habits, she is the finest friend and bandmate, I'm very fortunate.

That's a lovely clip telling a great story. Thanks for sharing it!

Great vid Mark, thanks for sharing. I recently noticed some other musician or actor use the term "them" rather than he or she. Can't think of who at the moment...

That's a real nice and moving vid, Mark. You and your outfit are probably the only band here with an educational agenda. No joke.

But you never ~~said~~ admitted that Susan Dey was pivotal for the Nasty Habits!

What other dark secrets loom there I cry?!

Let's get some funky vibes in here!

Thanks guys, Ginger is an exceptional friend and band mate, Susan Dey would be among her influences, mine growing up were all the Glam types, Bolan. Bowie, Slade, esp Dave Hill, Mott and The Sweet. Of course Mom's closet was tops, somehow I never got caught

I thought Susan Dey was hot too.

I wouldn't be able to name anyone on TV that was hotter during that time period. She then went on to make some movies which weren't too well known, but she was still as sexy as ever. Notably, "Looker" 1981.

Well since she played an lawyer on L.A. Law (Grace Van Owen), this comes as no surprise.

westen44 · January 13, 2020, 01:05:02 PM

I missed out on Susan Dey's stint on L.A. Law, but I've heard about it a lot. It sounds good.

Dave W · January 13, 2020, 03:08:37 PM

Susan Dey is still a star at the Museum of Menstruation. Also here and here.

That was really sweet.

Dave seems to have taken up a general gynecological interest and what a humid treasure cave of good, helpful info he is!

Hey Mark, a posting of the Nasty Habit's version of Peter Schilling's Major Tom (I'm baffled you even know it!) here has now become mandatory. German Schlager being played in Washington State, the mind boggles!

And when Edith saw Ginger's vid she was moved to tears - she says hi!

Also goes to show that people from the Seattle area have the most pleasant US accent. I already noticed that with you, Ginger validated it.
