Happy New Year


I know that it's true
It's gonna be a good year
Out of the darkness
And into the fire

Smokers Allowed

I'm not sure how or why pictures with people smoking automatically increase the "coolness" factor but it's sort of mind boggling to me. Anyways, here are some pics that are persuading me to start up this filthy habit.

Polo Shop

Band of Outsiders has just started their own online site to sell their polos and other goods. It looks pretty great thus far. Here is a snapshot of the site but I suggest going there to take a closer look.

Flowers in the Dirt

This record came out about 20 years ago and I still remember driving to school with my dad and brother blaring these 2 songs from the album. These are probably 2 of my favorite Paul/Beatles songs ever recorded. Enjoy!

Beck's RECORD CLUB Photos

Most music aficionados are by now familiar with Beck's Record Club where he takes one of his favorite records, grabs his music buddies (Devendra Banhart, Little Joy, Wilco, Feist, MGMT, etc.), and they do covers of the record. Here are some photos that give you a hint of what it's like to be in their with these music all-stars.

The Coolest Garage Sale Ever

One of my favorite sites, Ready 4 The House is having their annual yard/garage sale and it sounds like it should be a doozy. Ranging from vintage surf gear to old records, this is not to be missed. To top it off, the Rose Bowl is this weekend too so I best be going to the ATM.

LA Artists In Their Cars

I have to give big props to Joe Goode for a couple reasons : first, he is in Oklahoman and second, for doing/funding/creating such a cool calendar. He made this in the 60's because all his artist friends had such different cars which seemed to reflect each one's unique personalities.
The actual calendar can be scene in the dressing rooms at the RRL store off melrose. More pictures and insight can be found in the books Photographing the L.A. Art Scene 1955- 1975 & Made in L.A.
