Last weekend, an animal shelter was opened in Amsterdam, and Razorblade Jr was asked to open it! Says Razorblade: "I didn't doubt for a second about helping this shelter. There's a huge problem with stray dogs in Amsterdam. I do what I can but I already have 7 dogs at home." At arrival, the singer was greeted by several puppies and kittens. Razorblade Jr is very enthousiastic about the shelter and will act as a representative for it towards press and for fundraising. Of course, the musician didn't leave the kittens and puppies out in the cold and donated 1000 euro's himself to help the cute babies.

A 31-year old business-woman couldn't believe how lucky she was when she sat down in an airplane and found out that the seat next to her was taken by Gone Bald-drummer Bubba! The lady, a big fan of Bubba's, was lavish with compliments and chatted with him about some Gone Bald-shows she had recently attended. This was all very pleasant, until the plane got into turbulence and Bubba got so sick that he threw up all over his fan's expensive dress! Bubba was terribly embarassed, stammered excuses and offered to have the dress cleaned, but the cozy atmosphere had disappeared. The woman indignantly stared out the window, didn't speak at all anymore, and ran away from the plane as soon as it had landed.

The rumours about Stanley Disko's unhealthy preference for just about everything that ends with "inine" seem to get a dark twist. Friends of the bassplayer admit that Disko is lately either frantically in search of pure kinine, or in his room drinking large quantities of Indian Tonic. Since Disko moved on from the less strong form (7-UP) to this more dangerous drink, his behaviour has become unpredictable. He has recently been arrested for theft of a can of tonic, while agressively pleading for the legalization of the pure form of his favorite drug.
