Eeeek
13 November 2001

Oki Hello again! Please don't throw things but I kinda sorta by accident deleted a few of the emails people sent in. They were all people who wanted to join the clique. So if you sent in your stuff, and its not there, then I apologize and please resend.

Rumor has it that Paige is engaged again. The lucky lady? Miss Melanie Cockrum of "Engaging Vapor". If this is true, much love. If anyone can confirm or defirm (is that a word?) this, let me know.

Okay a million and one people have been asking me #1) If and when the new album will be out, and #2) If I've heard anything about a DVD release. My answers: #1) No clue; #2) I've heard SOMETHING but not enough to put up here. If anyone knows any specifics, send em in.

Linkin Park album and MAD TV
24 September 2001

From Kati:
Linkin Park is putting together a remix album sometime soon and, according to Joseph Hann from Linkin Park (I think that's his name), Jay Gordon will be doing a remix that will be on the album.
Joanna said:
I was watching "MAD TV" on Saturday and Alex and Will were doing their usual papparazzi bit, where they go to Movie Premieres and Awards shows and interview celebrities with some bizarre humor thrown in, you know...Anyway, this time they were at the premiere of "Rock Star" and Jay, Ryan and Amir were there! Will was doing a "Man, I think I'm going to heave!" bit on the unsuspecting trio, with the guys laughing as he fakes vomiting and says "Oh my God, I threw up on Orgy!" Very surreal indeed. It'll probably be a few more months before we can see this, but it was SO funny!

I was at work last night and WB is running TV commercials with famous rockers giving their opinions on the movie "Rock Star". To my suprise, Jay, Ryan & I believe Paige were in it! I didn't get a real good look, but it's something to watch out for!
Kati sent in:
The Orgy track for the Zoolander soundtrack is called "Faces". Go to this site to view the rest of the soundtrack.

Articles, Song Titles, and Video Games
30 July 2001

Josh sent me an email saying that the current issue of Circus (with Staind on the cover)contains "a blurb on Jay Gordon in the news section. There's a quote or two from him about material for the new album. He mentions 2 or 3 track titles. There is also a pic of the band, but it is the same picture from the previous CIRCUS magazine (Mudvayne on the cover) that begins the article on ORGY."

Kati emailed me and shared those three titles Jay was talking about in that article: "White Lines", "Toys",and "Stuck".
Kati also sent me the following mini-article:

Music rocked this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the annual convention/circus for the videogame industry in Los Angeles. Thousands of developers, artists and journalists from around the world took over downtown for four days of pyrotechnics. Gamers who turned out to preview games for this year's competing console systems -- Microsoft's Xbox, Nintendo's Gamecube and Sony's PlayStation 2 -- were treated to live performances by popular artists, plus a host of new warez aimed at the MP3 generation.

Orgy Plug In
Orgy guitarist Ryan Shuck and guitarist/keyboardist Amir Derakh roamed the halls Saturday, checking out the latest games and scouting out the potential for doing a game soundtrack. "We're mass gamers," Shuck confessed between rounds of playing the upcoming Unreal Championship for Microsoft's Xbox. The band travels with a PlayStation hooked up in their bus. Much of their songwriting inspiration comes from games. "'Fiction (Dreams in Digital)' is all about Lara Croft style virtual girls," Shuck said. "They're taking over the world." The band hopes to join the ranks of artists who are composing songs specifically for games. Such a project is appealing, Shuck said, because it would let the band break out from the traditional album-oriented song structure. "With a game, you don't have to write a single," he enthused, "you can just write for hours."

10 June 2001

Supposedly the track "Eva" is up for a few movie soundtracks. The boys are reportedly working (very slowly) on the third album. Jay has just finished working on a new CrazyTown remix. It should be on the radio soon. Mail from devildogdjeter2@hotmail.com
13 May 2001

I rented both of those movies during spring break, but I was unable to see Jay in either one of them. I would sadly suspect that Jay's scenes were cut. . But if anyone else rents those movies and sees something that I may have missed, by all means, spread the word !!!!!

News tip from Kit_Kat_Meow@msn.com
12 May 2001

I received an email that said the following:
If you go to www.hob.com and go the KEYWORD SEARCH (must do keyword search or you wont fond anything) there is an orgy video interview that was shot before the concert.

And in the interview, Jay admits that he dated Rod Stwarts daughter for a while. I'm not sure if he said that, but you're just gonna have to find out for yourself.

Jay an actor?
11 May 2001

My sexpot friend Joshi emailed me with the following. If anyone knows ANYTHING, please let me know ASAP.
I frequent a great movie database called IMDB, the Internet Movie Data Base. This site is great for actors and movies and directors etc. They give so many cast members. Anyway, just for the hell of it I typed in Jay Gordon. And a page of him came up. I know its him because they have his birthday and birthplace and a brief biography where they mention Orgy. According to this site he's in two movies!!! One of them is called Amongst Friends (1993) and the other one is David Fincher's The Game (1997)!!!!! I can't believe he's in THE GAME. I haven't seen it since the theater so I obviously can't remember. According to this site his credit in THE GAME is a character named "Triage Doctor" and in the other film he's "Billy's father".

Orgy Chat
10 April 2001

I dont know how many of you knew or where in the Orgy chat that took place on GetMusic.com, but for those of you who weren't, I'm going to try to get a transcript of the hour-long session. When asked about being the "boyband of their genre", Ryan replied with "Maybe the Backstreet Boys on speed..." From the chat, the following was learned:
-Orgy is in this month's issue of Penthouse. There is an article and a new pic on the cover.
-Amir is still very sick with mono. They are playing four shows at the end of the month in Houston, Dallas, Oklahoma, and I forget where else.
-Bobby was woken up last nite by his wife giving him head at 3am =)
-Ryan is involved with a show called "Blue Torch" that will air on Fox Sports in about a month. It was described as "extreme music". He said they just go and hang out with bands and do what MTV is lacking. He suggested a paintball game between Orgy and Linkin Park.
-The guys cite Sugar Ray as the hardest partiers they know.
-Ryan WAS in The Forsaken.
-Ryan and Stephanie have broken up but they are still friends. They are going out to dinner and to see the movie "Blow" tomorrow nite for Ryan's birthday.
-Bobby's wife Shannon is no longer in the adult video industry. She quit about 4 years ago when they met.
-Paige and Bobby love the Coldplay album. Ryan likes the new Ogre album "Wealth".
-Ryan said that meeting Robert Smith of The Cure was "fuckin freaky".
-Ryan's favorite position is doggie style. Bobby's reply was "theres so many..." *I can't believe someone asked that..*
-The coolest/strangest gift they've received from a fan is a bunch of thongs with their pics on them.
-The boys will be going into the studio next month to start working on the new album.
-Ryan had a really deep quote about art. Something about art coming from a void and that people are artists because something's missing from their life.
-Bobby's drum set, when originally bought, cost roughly $4,000. Now it is worth roughly $15,000.
-Ryan hasn't been online in about a month because he simply gets too much email and doesn't have to respond to it all, even though he would like to.

If anyone has anything else that was discussed in the chat, or a transcript, send it here.
