Writing a Diary entry is much like writing lyrics for a song ; you start with an empty page - or, in this case, screen. Once you get started it usually goes somewhere, so here we go :

Danny and I are doing the final touches on the songs for the next Darling Nikkie cd.
A few days ago we had a guitarist play on a couple of tracks and we're now in the process of picking and puzzling his parts together. One thing is for sure : I'm real happy with them! The musician is super talented and always feels what I want. His name is Pallieter and he's hot stuff, ladies! So far he played on three tracks, one of them being "Love or Leave me" ; one of the teasers Danny put up a while ago. If you think it sounded great then, you'll find it sounds delicious now. You'll just have to wait and see... .

We now have 10 songs and I can't tell you how happy I am with them! Every day I am more and more pleased with the direction I decided to take. I understand that some of my old skool Lords of Acid fans don't agree, but you can't please everybody. I also know that some of them have grown with me and appreciate my stuff - thanks!

Something I need to get off my chest is this Deb versus Darling Nikkie thing. It's been going on long enough now. Deb has been the Lords vocalist/face for the last  years now and like I already said in my Guestbook earlier on : she is doing her thing as she sees it. She's not trying to copy me and I'd be pissed off if she did, so we must give her some credit. Some people like what she does and others don't. Same as for me : some people are totally turned off by what I do now and others love it!  I had fun writing and singing with the Lords for a looooong time (it was my baby as well as Praga's from the very beginning). Everybody keeps wondering about reasons why I left and about what happened between Praga and me, but whatever the reasons ; Deb had nothing to do with them... . Don't get me wrong ; I have to admit that for awhile my ego got a nice boost from some of your reactions, but it really isn't fair... .

Some good news you might want to know about is that Danny's thinking of putting together a Jade 4U mini cd, just for you fans...I think that's a great idea, we're just working out all the practical stuff. We'll see. There would be about 4 or 5 tracks plus the To The Limit remixes we picked. That sounds yummie, doesn't it?
Don't be shy to shout out : Yo Danny!!! We want it (pretty pleeeeeease)!!!???
By the way : this week was his birthday. He's not big on celebrating or presents, but I celebrate his birthday every day!!! If not for that day, I never would have known him and this website would not have existed! So yay Danny xoxoxoxo!!!!!

Also, on the 2nd of this month we were married exactly 5 years - time flies so fast!!!
It seems like only yesterday that I threw my weddingbouquet into the crowd after a Lords gig in the US. I remember a big guy caught it. The whole thing had been practically torn to shreds, but boy was he a happy puppy!!
Not as happy as me, I'll bet... .

Well, that about sums it up I guess...keep the good vibes coming - they're so important in a sensitive artist's life :) lol!

Oh yeah ; here's a couple of pictures of Danny and me at a friend's party - doing that "uppertone" singing. It was great fun, this gathering of a whole bunch of totally cool people - making our own noise! Beating on drums, rattling sticks, shaking tambourines and all sorts of bells, dancing and singing...wow! Not once did anyone ask to put a cd on with "proper" dance music.
Though we were outside in the freezing cold we worked up a nice sweat!
A lovely night it was... .

Okay daaaaarlings, that's it for now. I love you!
Peace out!
Biggie Kissie,
Nikkie
