We have rocked Australia. But now BrizVegas is fukt. I have never experienced the kind of tropical pummeling which this particular spot on the planet surface is currently receiving. Driving to the airport was like a Mad Max movie, but wet. Cars dead in the water…. on the freeway. 70 degrees and hailing the size of my knuckles. God I hope after all the delays I’m sitting thru now that I can escape this sometime tonight.
Onward to Europe.

With great sadness we must report that our show with Nina Hagen in Berlin on the 24th has broken up. Our sincere apologies to our dear friends in Germany who now continue to wait. We promise we’ll try our best to get back to you in 2013.
With the open date now for the 24th we have added Amsterdam’s Melkweg to our itinerary. Tickets go on sale this Monday, 19th November at 10:00 HERE.

Spinner is premiering the latest video from The Dandy Warhols, the Thomas Rhazi directed “The Autumn Carnival.” This video is the third released by the band in promotion of their latest album, This Machine, and was written by Dandy frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor and Bauhaus/Love & Rockets’ David J.
“The song came from David J and I discussing Something Wicked This Way Comes,” Courtney says. “The theme here is how, as we age, our view of youth and our feelings regarding what it means become paper thin and almost totally unrealistic.”

Alrighty.

Well we polished off two bottles of Chateau Taylor-Taylor with Thai food the other night and it rocked. I had the viticulturist from Rex Hill winery over and he was blown away.
The wine turned out lighter and brighter than I thought so you can add slightly tangy dishes to its pairings now too. It’s more like an Oregon Pinot Noir which is probably part of why my Rex Hill guy loved it (They make a huge number of modern, high quality Pinots. Check em out). The finish on this wine is where it’s at. That’s where you can tell the quality and the age of the vines. It’s long and ancient.
Well anyhoo I can’t wait to bring one into my favorite Mexican joint and get seriously fatter. There’s Indian right down the street so that’s my job for tomorrow. I’ll letcha know how it goes.
If you can put some away for next spring/summer you’ll be glad you did. The bottleshock will have gone away and well, plus this wine turned out to be pretty summery.

(2012) When this movie was over it took about a minute and twenty seconds for me to start it again. |

(2012) It’s like the value pack of artistic credibility: you pay for just over two hours but you feel like you got about four. |
 |
(2010) Mostly miserable. |

Ok, the wine is at the port in New York. It’s in America and is getting trucked to the warehouse today or Monday. THEN it gets sent to everybody who bought some and curry and mexican food sales are gonna skyrocket!
I tell you what though, I’m gonna have a major Mexican seven course dinner party and go thru like two cases the first night. God this is exciting.

Chateau Taylor-Taylor arrives in port on Friday. I CAN’T WAIT!
