Muses and Stuff Podcast

It’s a mini musecast to get you by until next week! Chanty reads an email from a new listener and fan named Christy. She confirms that one of our Heartbreakers, Mike Campbell is just the sweetest. Lynx enlightens Chanty on the difference between a fan and groupie and Chanty shares what she’s been up to these days including being an extra in a BROS music video. They pack a lot into this mini- from asking for autographs and photos to turning down offers of joining bands on tour. Catch our full interview with Agnes DeMarco out this Wednesday!

This week Chanty and Lynx welcome special guest and fellow doll Jacqueline Dolenz. Not only does this redheaded beauty serve as web mistress to our beloved Miss P, she also created her own online community dedicated to her main man Mr. Dolenz! Jacqueline shares the story of her favourite Dolenz wife, the stunning Samantha Juste as well as her own journey from teenage mega-fan to backstage babe! Lots of laughs are had as all 3 ladies reminisce about their tween-age band related sexual awakenings and the importance of Micky’s nipples. A huge thank you to the wonderfully fierce Jacqueline for coming on and sharing her passion with us. You can check out her work (and Micky’s nipples!) at ilovemickydolenz.com.

Happy Family Day! What a perfect day to have a chat with the ULTIMATE rock and roll mama, Agnes Demarco! Here’s a little taste of what’s to come… communication, connection and the quiet revolution… we’ve got a lot to learn from this Goddess! Full episode will be up soon!

This week’s Groupie/Muse is Gail Zappa! She is the quintessential rock and roll wife. Married to Frank Zappa with whom she had 4 children, it was “love at first sight” between the goddess and the genius. You’ll hear what it’s like to run the household for his nibs and how she was the voice of reason and fairy godmother to many a Groupie in Laurel Canyon. This week Chanty chats with Trevor Murphy, host and producer of the podcast AND radio show Halifax Is Burning. He’s also a musician and songwriter in such bands as Quiet Parade and Dance Movie. Chanty and Trevor first met in 2010 on their tour to Peterborough with Trevor’s then band, Sleepless Nights. Trevor talks about music on the East Coast, which bands he’s a Groupie for and being a rock and roll husband. Chanty regales him with some Zappa children trivia, makes a Noel Fielding connection and tells the story of the night she spent in a tour van. Other rock and rollers you’ll hear about in this episode: The Who, The Doors, the Mamas and Papas, Chris Hillman and the Beach Boys!

From Miss Louisiana Teen USA to Star Search to the Cherry Pie video, this week we talk Bobbie Brown! She’s Chanty’s first Groupie of the 80’s & 90’s, and her doll friend Andrea Holz is here to tell (some of) her story. Bobbie was married to Jani Lane of Warrant, was in a relationship with Tommy Lee, had a one night stand with LEONARDO DICAPRIO RIGHT BEFORE HE DID ROMEO & JULIET (!!!!!), developed a drug addiction and starred on the reality show the Ex-Wives of Rock, before writing her book: Dirty Rocker Boys. Her story is one hell of an intro to this era of Groupie. Among Mrs. Cherry Pie, Chanty talks about her magical experience at the Sam Roberts show, his new album and once again discusses magic, David Bowie and clairsentience. You can find Andrea Holz on Instagram @andrea_holz You can watch her Web Series “That’s why I like her” on Facebook. You can find Chanty on Facebook and Instagram @musesandstuffpodcast www.musesandstuff.ptbopodcasters.ca and of course, you can find her rockin’ out at shows all around Toronto (she’ll be the one up on someone’s shoulders). You can find Bobbie Brown on Instagram @brownbobbie Read her book: Dirty Rocker Boys, or better yet, listen to the Audio Book!  

“She was the most incredible woman I’d ever met. Dazzling, beautiful, hypnotic and unsettling. Her smile. Those carnivorous teeth obliterated everything. Other women evaporated next to her. I was utterly in her thrall and would have done anything for her” – Marianne Faithfull We’re talking about Anita Pallenberg. This week welcomes back the always alluring and fiercely intelligent Lynx O’Leary. She’s here with another scintillating tale, and this one is about Anita Pallenberg. You may know Anita as the best friend of Marianne Faithfull or perhaps from her partnership with Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones with whom she had 3 children. The dolls open the show by talking about the perplexing and erotic movie “Performance” starring both Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg. Chanty gets under the covers with Mick for a brief moment and then asks Lynx a whole lot of questions about the boundary pushing movie. They discuss how Anita was bright, entertaining, manipulative, cosmopolitan and always the life of the party. Incredibly fashionable, Keith found his style- no surprise- by going through Anita’s closet. From her relationship first with Brian Jones to Keith Richards to Mick Jagger to her heroin addiction, Anita’s story is beyond fascinating… just like her. You’ll learn about her influence on Keith and hear excerpts from both Marianne and Keith’s autobiographies about this wild woman who gave Keith’s hard partying ways a run for his money. According to Marianne, Anita’s influence transformed the Stones “from pop stars to cultural icons”, and we agree.

This week we completely skip over the 80s and 90s (because Chanty can’t emotionally handle them yet) and talk about a Modern Muse! This beaming light of babe-shine is Emma Tillman, wife of Josh Tillman (aka the Sexiest Man in Rock and Roll right now). We talk about how she’s the quintessential muse, having the brains, beauty and talent to rival her rock god’s. Chanty invites her brother Blake back on as a guest and they record on David Bowie (and Elvis’!) birthday. They fight with their family cat for the spotlight and talk about Real Love, Baby. In this episode, Chanty finally reveals a Groupie story of her own. It’s about the summer evening she spent with Josh Tillman himself, a true gentleman. Chanty and Blake talk about the magical land that is Laurel Canyon and of course make connections between Miss Pamela (yes again, and forever), Bebe Buell and the sexy rockers and groupies goddesses of the Canyon back in the swingin’ 60s. Finally, Chanty loses track of words when she begins to express her belief that FJM is the best thing to have happened to rock and roll music in recent time and resists the urge to yell out “AND HE’S SO F****** HOT” in front of her brother because that would be inappropriate.   You can find Chanty on Facebook and Instagram @musesandstuffpodcast If you haven’t already, check out Michael Butler’s Rock and Roll Geek Show Podcast on iTunes and wherever Podcasts are sold (but they’re free).

This episode is brought to you from Montreal, Quebec! Chanty’s guest this week is an artist, musician and board member for Rock Camp for Girls Montreal and a dear, dear friend. Brought to you from Tricia’s sweet apartment (which Chanty hardly left on account of having the flu), they discuss The Plaster Casters of Chicago. This week, you may be surprised to learn that Cynthia Plaster Caster was shy and hadn’t even seen a “member” until the day that she made her first plaster cast! But as you will soon discover “the road to getting laid is paved in plaster!” Chanty discusses balancing chakras (it’s Muses and STUFF, guys!), filling her heart containers and growing her girl gang. Just as Pamela Des Barres cooed over her new friend and love, Cynthia, Chanty coos over her love for Tricia and they discuss their mutual love for tall skinny Brits (hello, Noel Redding!) You’ll also learn about Cynthia’s connection to the Hollies, Jimi Hendrix and his band members, Frank Zappa, Eric Clapton and CREAM. They also discuss women supporting one another, make flu-crazy puns about “members” and tell you that if you don’t think that making plaster replicas penises is an art, then you are “uptight, shortsighted and don’t have a very good sense of humor”. So sick back, relax, and let’s have some podcast fun!

“On the road for 40 days Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze Sweet, sweet Connie, doin’ her act She had the whole show and that’s a natural fact” Those are the opening lines to Grand Funk Railroad’s We’re an American Band, much to Connie Hamzy’s delight… and much to her parents’ horror! Sweet Connie very well might be one of rock’s most promiscuous muses… and she’s damn proud of it! From Led Zeppelin to the Who, a threesome with two of the Eagles and even Frank Zappa, Connie’s conquests are remarkable… and they don’t end there! It’s just me and you this week listener as I bring you a mini-sode.  I cozy up in Ontario’s version of Little Rock Arkansas, to bring you the sweet and sometimes shocking story of our girl, Connie. Her reputation preceded her so that she had requests from concert promoters who would give her backstage passes to all the shows her little groupie heart desired. We’ll make this description short and sweet… just like this episode. Tune in to catch your last Groupie fix of 2016! See you in the New Year!

This week, Chanty welcomes back the lovely and luscious Lynx O’Leary to talk about the one and only Angela Bowie. Without a doubt Angela was critical in the construction of La Bowie. She WAS La Bowie and her story is one worth shouting about! In this episode we talk about sex and style, fun times and fashion! We discuss celebrating bisexuality and sexual freedom as well as open marriages, velvet suits, tricking David into thinking his fashion choices were his own and THE LIGHT PEOPLE. Chanty reminds every one not to take rock and roll too seriously and so she shares 2 stories of her rock and roll “misses”. Lynx listens and speaks like a true rock and roll oracle, encouraging Chanty to save her rock and roll “kisses” for her future memoir. In the meantime, they’ll both be reading Pamela Des Barres’ new book “Let it Bleed: How to Write a Rockin’ Memoir” which you can pre-order on Amazon. Chanty’s song Recommendations of the Week are: Groupie by SWIMM www.swimmmusic.bandcamp.com/track/groupie I’ll be Stoned for Christmas by Dent May and the album Christmas through the Fog by Quiet Parade www.quietparade.bandcamp.com You can find Lynx on Goodreads and Chanty on Facebook and Instagram @musesandstuffpodcast

In this épisode of Muses and Stuff, Chanty has a sleepy late-night chit chat with her very good, very dear friend Sam Murdock. Sam is rock ‘n’ roll personified, touring with his bands Lesbo Vrouven and Oromocto Diamond for as long as she can remember. His band is so good that even the sound guys buy merch at his shows. His record label, P572 will soon be celebrating its 13th anniversary and we can only hope for an 11th show with Hot Kid. The Groupie/ Muse of the week is Cherry Vanilla. She was a writer for Creem magazine, a sexy rock ‘n’ roll DJ during the Vietnam War and David Bowie’s uber publicist. She got bit by the rock ‘n’ roll bug after having a conversation with Dean Martin at the age of 9 and had her first rock ‘n’ roll scorn with Burton Cummings on a tour bus. Other things you’ll learn this episode include why you should probably change your name if you talk about sexy things on the air and that Cherry once had a standoff with Patti Smith to sleep with Kris Kristofferson. Listen carefully to catch Sam utter the words “nice perfect adult passionate fun”… and you’ll be surprised to find out who he is referring to. Okay… it’s his best friend, Seb. Find Sam on Facebook by his real name: Sam Murdock (not Samatha Murdock). His record label: www.p572.com http://lesbovrouven.bandcamp.com/ http://oromoctodiamond.bandcamp.com/ You can find Chanty on Instagram and Facebook @musesandstuffpodcast Don’t find her on Twitter.

Chanty invites her brilliant doll-friend Andrea Holz over as a guest on the Musecast this week. They shake things up by discussing the MALE GROUPIES of Rock ‘n’ Roll! Andrea Holz is a writer, actor and producer working on her own web series called That’s Why I Like Her. She’s a bad assed, confident chick just like our legendary muses. Andrea goes after what she wants and is PROUD OF IT. Andrea and Chanty met through Miss P’s Toronto Dolls- a group of ladies in Toronto who love Pamela Des Barres and who are passionate and artistic in their own right. In this episode, Chanty and Andrea “take rock ‘n’ roll by the balls” and delve into why people are afraid of the word GROUPIE. They (eventually) get to the Groupies of the episode which include Cameron Crowe, Danny Fields, Rodney Bingenheimer and a dude named Pleather! Chanty and Andrea also discuss how there are certain levels of Groupiedom. They make the arguement that if you have ever supported a band and worn their t-shirt down the street, then baby, you are a Groupie too! Some Rock ‘n’ Roll trivia you will learn is how Cameron Crowe married HEART front-woman, Nancy Wilson, that Chanty’s bff Carmen Townsend toured with them (!) and how Danny Fields and Rodney Bingenheimer were fans turned rock ‘n’ roll personalities catapulting rock stars such as Jim Morrison, the Ramones, Blondie and Iggy Pop into mega stardom.
