We seriously dig fashion, and fashion has always dug us. So it’s supercool that we have been asked to play at Fashion’s Night Out Los Angeles this Friday in LA at Ron Herman on Melrose.
PRPS and Ron Herman present a special live musical performance by indie rock darlings The Dandy Warhols in celebration of Fashions Night Out Los Angeles. As a part of Vogue’s global initiative to celebrate fashion and promote retail, this highly anticipated Los Angeles shopping night will feature exciting showcases from renowned LA designers, photographers, and artists all under one roof…
See? Darlings. We invite you to come on by if you’re around. Other cool cats like Mark Mothersbaugh (!!), Taylor Jacobson, Shanna Moakler, Holly Robinson Peete, Garth Trinidad, Camryn Manheim, and some of our BRMC friends will be there.
The big whoop on Fashion’s Night Out can be found HERE.

In Seattle at Bumbershoot. We’re playing at the foot of the Space Needle. I’ll see if someone will send me pics of us playing with it in the background.
Slightly more interesting though is the gaming conference which is happening in a pretty big way too. I loved these great looking hipsters, one photographing the other whilst he hugs the eye of the beholder.
Yes, thank you.
I’m also gonna tell you how much I’m digging on my framing what with the four sided and eight sided and twelve sided dice adding such depth and dimension. OH I didn’t just slip that in there too. I’m on a roll…..ok ouch. Sorry.

Killer Dave came through!
A few years back Dave Dahl (Dave’s Killer Bread) became friends and I asked him for a lo-cal bread. He said he would and that he’d name it after me. Well the bread is finally here, not named after me but it does have a very kind dedication on the back label.
If the bread is anywhere near as good as the samples I tested then it’s a superb lo-cal bread AND it even comes in two of his famous variety’s. For those of you unfamiliar with Dave’s Killer Bread READ HERE. You can find his amazing bread in 5 states and counting. Enjoy! And Thanks Killer Dave, you rule!

(2003) There’s some great performances and some great clever writing here but ultimately someone should’ve lobotomized this writer before he was actually allowed to complete the “4th wall breaking” part of this mess. |

(2007) It took me a good 30 minutes befor I went “ew, what an awful idea for a movie” and turned it off. |
Avatar I reviewed when it came out. Update: “Dances With Wolves In Space”.

I LOVE this review!!!
The Dandy Warhols – “The Best of the Capitol Years (1995-2007)” (Capitol) (rating 7 out of 10)
The Portland quartet known as The Dandy Warhols were born kicking and screaming in 1993, making music to, ahem, “drink to,” an alternative soundtrack for slackers, stoners, and midnight tokers which celebrated the permanent vacations of the elegantly wasted. Think Keith Richards with New Wave hair. Lead Dandy Courtney Taylor-Taylor had clearly been educated at the School of Rock. His motley crew of carefully recruited outsiders looked chic (fringes, cheekbones, hips), borrowed from the best (Stones, Velvets, Bowie, Dylan), and actively encouraged chaos, disorder, and public nudity at gigs. The doors of perception were wedged permanently open. Just like the truly great, they had their own proper film celebrating their rise (the unmissable “Dig!”) and, for bonus cool, their own imagined TV theme song. The Mount Rushmore of Rock surely had space for Taylor’s snarling mug.
“The Capitol Years” captures their time in the fast lane, livin’ la vida loca, lounging in limos popping pills and reading Sartre. Whereas their penniless urchin contemporaries coughed “sell out” from the dungeons of indie clubs, Taylor looked to the stars: number ones, billboards, mansions, monogrammed bathrobes, art dealing, golf. There are a good, half-dozen moments here when, dammit, it should have worked. It’s so close you can taste it in the grooves. The Dandys had a gift for fizzy four-minute space pop, from the mechanical bull rides of “Everyday Should Be a Holiday,” “Boys Better,” and “Bohemian Like You,” to the dreamy, twinkling Bowie-esque “Last High” and perky newbie “This Is the Tide” – all white-hot, genius pop with skyscraper melodies. Even the tracks time forgot such as “The Scientist” and “Plan A” now seem expertly fashioned, fixing the foundations for funky futurists like Hot Chip and MGMT. It was exhilarating, joyous pop that deserved to be beamed from radios, clubs, TVs, and enormodomes alike, not chained and weeping in some grimy basement bar to an audience of three devotees and a dog called Bobby. – Matt James
Court says, “Wow, man, nice perspective.”

Hey, lots of people are seriously digging the brand new track from The Capitol Years, “This is the Tide.” Really guys, we have received a tremendous response on the interwebs so far, it’s blowing us away. Thanks for those who bought it, and thanks for letting us know what you think. I haven’t talked to Fathead today, but I’m sure he’s a proud papa.
(Yeah, that’s Fatty singing lead on that track. He wrote this tune with Zia. Break that out on Taco Tuesday trivia night.)
If you have a friend you think would dig on it, don’t be selfish, brother – share the song with them in this little player here.
Graçias.
