MYSTERIES OF LOVE

THE VIVIDS + DJ SET BY TROPIC OF CANCER

PARTY WEIRDO: Come get your dance, sway, drag on in Long Beach this Friday night.

If you're not yet familiar with The Vivids and are Downwards fan, you will know them very soon. They have an EP coming out on the label this summer. They are also a proper induction of something infectious and addicting that you can't quite put your finger on. This is rare today. Come see it in the flesh.

Plus, Tropic Of Cancer will be delivering complimentary vinyl selections before and after the show. See you there.

My photos and a video from Dirty Beaches at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum a couple of weeks ago. Glad they filmed this because I only caught the last two songs. Internet, never leave me.

TROPIC OF CANCER INTERVIEW

The fine people over at Foxy Digitalis were kind enough to interview Tropic Of Cancer recently. We talk about future projects, seaside cliffs and why we don't think we're goth, even though everyone says we are. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.) xo

PERFECT DYSTOPIA

I'm fairly certain there is no film character I would rather be than Rachael. From her vacant stare and gorgeous hair to her impeccable wardrobe, I'll take every bit.
