For Labor Day, we took a drive out to Zuma beach in Malibu to relax in the sand and fight the undertow – the exotic car count from our drive is as follows:
Lamborghini – 2
Delorean – 1
Ford GT – 1
I have not been counting Bentleys, Maseratis, Alpha-Romeos, or Aston Martins. Sorry.
Much thanks to the basswood posse that came over Saturday and helped me build a whole batch of electrical towers – you guys rock.
Old friend Darren McManus dropped me a line today to give us a heads up about his new T-Shirt design, available through Imperfect Articles.
“This is a guaranteed protective, good-vibe gathering talisman for your (or anybody
elses) skin.”
So get it on you! Also, quite a bit of good shirty stuff around on that site, go check it out.

Business Week explores the cache of secret brands, like American Apparel (brands without ubiquitous logo placement).
Speaking of ELO, could someone please buy this for me… damn thats nice.
On my way to pick up the Suicide Girls DVD [probably only the first page of that link is work-safe..], I discovered that one of the best albums ever has been re-released…
Time by ELO. I used to sit around my dads office room at our house (where the record player was) with my brother listening to it for hours.. all about time travel, the sometimes depressing electronic future, and falling in love with robots. Heavy on vocoder and synths, it is still one of my absolute favorites, and has been until now very hard to find (though I still have that original vinyl copy).
Our friend from back on the east coast, Gina, mysteriously materialized in our neighborhood coffee shop yesterday. We hadn’t seen her in 6 years or so. We kidnapped her for the day and took her to Sunset Junction – the east side LA street festival. We got to see Eagles of Death Metal, Suicide Girls (who showed us more than they are really allowed to, thank you very much SGs.), and CHAKA KAHN!!! (yes, we skipped the New York Dolls for that.)
Keep up the good work, Echo Park.
Some insane Roadshow Rally Drive in Movie thing where you have to go and find the Malibu from Repo Man hidden somewhere in LA – and you GET TO KEEP IT – is happening in my back yard right now. So far, that is the coolest thing to happen out in our backyard/empty lot.
