Matt was an incredibly sweet person and a huge fan of our music. I’m so glad that Brent and I had the chance to meet and get to know him a littlebefore he lost his battle with T Cell Lymphoma(TCL). The last time I saw him was in June, we had dinner in Pomona, CA before our show at the Glass House.He was cheerful, friendly and so brave. It’s hard to meet someone so cool and know how hard they’re fighting for their life.
He will me missed. Rest easy Matt, no more suffering for you.

Hey everybody, it’s the Moon’s birthday. Happy Birthday, you Moon you. Just think of all the Moon puns I would normally make and multiply that by, oh how old, er, young are you? What’s that? You’re a lady, you’ll never tell? Criminey. Well, whatever it is, you look smashing. My own personal Helena Bonham Carter in the sky. What, no, I’m not bagging on Helena Bonham Carter, I like her.
By the way, guess whose autograph is on the Moon. If you guessed Richard Nixon you are right.
Oh, here’s a video Zia wanted posted, it’s closer tot he moon than you’ll ever be.
Video artist Chris is here, you should thank him for making it.
ALSO: Today is my friend Courtney Taylor-Taylor’s birthday. Happy birthday, captain.
Zia will be djing tonight at East End in Portland for our friend Sarah Jane’s “Bikini Bingo”. Also, she will be guest djing tomorrow (monday) at Dante’s for Karaoke from Hell.
I love this interview. Peter was in a funny mood this day and we were having a lot of fun. I love our little banter about the MySpace thing. Mattress is Nation’s brother . (Nation being our lighting tech for our live shows, ‘Poopy’). Mattress is also a chef and the best cook I know. He is a great friend and I love that his name was dropped in the interview. I bet he is in most peoples ‘top 8 friends’ on MySpace. He is a legend.
PS. Are you excited about The Dandy Warhols Are Sound coming out in two weeks? I am. I was going back and forth comparing songs on Monkey House and Are Sound the other day and was knocked out by the difference. But not how like a crazy transvestite would knock you out with an iron in her purse, no. Like how when a little kid will sing you a song and give you a hug because that’s what little kids do. That kind of knocked out. On July 14, get a hug!
