Ok ok I know that insta-ing food pics is about as pedestrian as a crosswalk but when you’ve got a friend who makes Sunday roast come out looking like sushi, and he’s quit his bigshot head chef job and has all summer free to come over and make dinner at the Odditorium you go ahead and insta that shizz.
I believe this btw was the crispy skin halibut in grapefruit and pink peppercorn beurre blanc on thyme braised fennel and macerated grapefruit salad. Or should I say “salad” (do they look like salads? Nope they look like Jackson Pollocks). I wish we were still eating them right now.
I was finally in town for the Portland branch of the World Naked Bike Ride!
I snapped a few pics which promptly got me put in time out by Facebook. Soon after, a fan pointed out that I do have a web site after all and with my rebellious nature and zeal for freedom to express I can’t help but to repost them here. Enjoy!
Every time I come here I mean to post up but then the wine and frankish food sort of make the phone seem real far away. Anyhoo I love this place. We had our 20th anniversary of our 1st show here.
Whoa. Cage the Elephant is sick live.
A lot of amazing songs. The intial rush sort of gets a bit much. Lotta pro style show here. Goddamn their singer has become an amazing thing. Such great songs.
What a great time I had with the Foals and Cage the Elephant. It was like being on tour again. This is somehow the only photo from the odditorium portion of our evening. And it’s from very late. Actually after pretty much everyone had left. The committed. This is the guy who wrote one of thee singles of the millenium. “Pumped Up Kicks.” Awesome song and what a phenominon. Really cool cat too,
During the initial packaging construction of the latest Dandy Warhols album things were a bit crazy around the Odditorium. We had a big management shakeup and things were pretty confusing a real goddamn mess for a while. And the unthinkable happened: the identity of the photographer who took the cover photo the band selected was obscured. We messed up, and how. Credit for cover photo was given to our departed merch manager Sarah Buckley, when it wasn’t Sarah Buckley who took that photo at all. Turned out the photo, and the corresponding LP sleeve photo, was the work of Gabriel Alan Gallant. The Dandy Warhols would like to salute Gabriel and give him our unending gratitude.
I should add, personally, that was sick to hear of such an enormous editorial eff-up. Though we as an organization failed at every step of the way in properly identifying the photographer, as Dandys art director it’s ultimately my responsibility to get this stuff right on paper. I should have done better. I hope Gabriel will accept my sincerest apologies. Some may think it’s unnecessary, but we’re supposed to be pros, and this is was pretty amateurish mistake, no matter how many fires we were all trying to put out at the time.
So cheers to ya, Gabriel Alan Gallant. Thanks for your photo, and your generous heart.
