Currently, trying to find the perfect jean jacket to replace the one that I've been wearing for the past 5 years (which you can see me wearing in 87% of all pictures). If anyone has leads, HOLLER.

Have you ever missed your girl so much you followed her, only to find out she was steppin' out on you with some alley-cat-coat-wearing,
punch-bucket-shoe-wearing crumbcake? If you haven't been there, you will someday. And when that day comes, you need to be prepared. Do NOT follow that first impulse and do a Rambo and flat-blast both of them. Take a deep breath and chill. Then, get some hot chocolate on the stove and let Oran "Juice" Jones show you step-by-step how to teach her a valuable lesson she'll never forget:
Who I'd like to meet: In 2007: life enthusiasts, make out partners in the form of girls named Lindsey who live in Jacksonville, Florida (I know that that was very specific, and yet I totally met her! What are the odds???), folks with ADD & OCD, Doctor Katz, Dodgers fans & Michael Jay Lawrence aka MichaelPop Sr.
PROBABLY NOT YOUR BAND. If you rock, I'll find you.
In addition to Beck, Nick Cave and Feist, LA Philharmonic senior program manager Johanna Rees has dropped another dreamy show in our laps. The LA Phil has just announced that Antony and the Johnsons will be coming to the Walt Disney Concert Hall on Oct. 14, accompanied by a 20-piece orchestra, with arrangements by Antony and composer of the pomo moment Nico Muhly. This will be the only West Coast performance from Antony and the Johnsons, who have an EP coming out, "Another World," on October 7 from Secretly Canadian.
Antony, nee Antony Hegarty, is no stranger to collabs with orchestras; he's performed with the London Symphony Orchestra, Milan Symphony and Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra. His other collaborations are equally notable, including his vocals on five tracks from Hercules and Love Affair's moody dance debut on DFA and a part on Bjork's upcoming single, "The Dull Flame of Desire." He's also helped out in the past on tracks with Rufus Wainwright, CocoRosie, Laurie Anderson, Linda Thompson, Matmos and Joan as Police Woman. Of course, this leaves our head spinning with surprise guest ideas but even without Anderson contributing some sort of jerry-rigged instrument solo, the show should be exquisitely moody for a crisp October night.
