From 6-8 I'm DJing 'horror disco' at the Vaudeville Stage for the WeHo Halloween Carnaval. Look for the Queen Of Hearts!

Watch for it.

Karl Bornstein of Mirage Editions described Patrick Nagel as "an elegant, stylish man with the weirdest sense of humor I had ever encountered."

While home sick (like today) I can stay in bed for hours and scour blogs. I try to retain all the useless facts and useful lessons (but usually don't) & sometimes I strike blog gold. I've been dying to see this (much discussed) video posted by a mutual friend of my pal Juan Maclean's 90s band 6 Finger Satellite.

Right now I'm...

The last two song posts were both on a mixtape I got from one of my closest friends. We were 18 and living in London and I will never forget our soundtrack.

There's nothing in my heart.
I'd rather be cool
than be smart.
Hey.
What I'm thinking of.
I'd rather be cool
than be loved.

Here's what I feel,
Ba ba ba ba.
Just want a girl
as cool as Kim Deal.

(Dandy Warhols "Cool as kim Deal")

Used to start my sets with this song. Think I should start doing that again.

This was posted on the FB invite to a NYC party called Galaxie. I can't go the party (I'm playing Chicago tonight), but this video has been a great source of joy and inspiration for me this morning.

Daisy O'Dell's latest remix is for her fellow Torontonians, Dragonette. It's of their 2nd single "Pick Up The Phone" - a song about “fucking shit up, in the best possible sense.” Daisy calls it her Extended 80s Club Mix - take a listen and you'll see why!

Thanks CT&Co. You always know how to make me smile.

This is a repost "laptops have no soul". Thanks Juan.

This is low-res but pretty dope. I've got this and a bunch of records from this era. Think I'm going to dust them off and play them out.
