The Two Sides of Johnny Kat
June 12th, 2006 | Posted by Shannon
This evening I have been catching up on some Spoon action. For some reason, I didn’t check out the new video of The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine until today. Why? I have been playing Spoon a bit here and there but lets face it, it’s all about Radiohead right now, and the Walkmen who I am seeing Friday at House of Blues.
Check this out. There is a HUGE and MAJOR surprise coming.
So I am watching it, and at first I am like, hey, that guy in the suit looks like Johnny Kat, this dude I know from San Francisco. So then I watch the guy walk into his house and I am like, wow, that kind of looks like Johnny Kat’s house. Then he started dressing in drag and I am like “HOLY FUCK, THAT IS JOHNNY KAT!”
First, I walk into a wine bar and the owner is in Pink Martini. Now, someone I have partied with on numerous occasions is IN A FUCKING SPOON VIDEO. The end of the video is filmed at Trannyshack, so I bet there are others I know in there. I think I saw Heklina, the hostess of Trannyshack, but the images are a little too quick and spotty for me to be sure.
Sorry about all the yelling but I am a little excited right now. Laurie Bushman, did you know about this, and if so did you tell me when I was drunk or something? ‘Cause I way don’t remember if you did.
Man, this is too cool. I wonder if Johnny Kat knows about my Britt Daniel bean and noodle picture that our mutual friend Jason made for me. I wonder if he GOT TO MEET BRITT DANIEL. Yo, Johnny, HOOK A SISTER UP. I want to be in the SEQUEL.
Well, I was all ready to write about Christian Rock tonight but heck, I am just way too excited for that. Calm down, calm down…

Shannon my friend – I can not believe that I did not even put it together that the video that Johnny is in is a Spoon video – the Spoon with Brett Daniels,,,
You never see Brett……..in the video – so hmmmmmmm – i guess I am kind of lame like that – I know songs – but not who’s doing them.
I saw this video a long time ago – at least it seems like it. Has it been out long? I don’t even think that I ever told Johnny how cool I thought it was and how great he is in it. I don’t have any details about the band or how this came about – but I will send Johnny a link to your blog and your email address. I hope he will get in touch with you.
I love your blog and I think you are super cool!
