What's good in the neighborhood.
Tunes, treats, rants, and raves from the Sunset Junction.
elitist with a LOWERCASE e.
Doll and the Kicks.
Opened the 2009 Moz tour… unsigned / no US management.
Keep an eye on these guys. Doll is a star with Karen O, Gwen Stefani, and Kate Bush style vocals in one. Plus she’s way cuter than all of them.
Blew my fucking mind last night at the Echoplex in Los Angeles.

It leaked… and it’s fantastic.
Apparently, Charlie Watts (Stones’ drummer) has said “peace out” to the band he’s played with since 1963. At 68 years old, he claims he just doesn’t want to do it anymore. Sad day for the Stones, just 3 years shy of their 50th anniversary.
50 years? Sheesh.

Last night, my teenage dream came true: Dance on stage with The Flaming Lips! Couldn’t have wished or hoped for a more perfect, surreal night. From helpful, pleasant (omg!) security and crew, to dancing in the wings, to Yoshimi, to giant balloons and confetti, to brand new costumes from Tokyo, to meeting Wayne Coyne and him being nicer than I could have imagined = a permanent smile on my face. I can die happy.
Photoblog below.
