Vacation is in full effect, and as such, the LARS you see here has been shamefully neglected. That being said, I’d be lying if I said that I haven’t been doing significant legwork behind the scenes, including uploading more black-&-whites on My Photography, working up ideas for the soon-to-come website for LARS (including several radios, ooh-la-la), and of course writing my ass off with both reviews and lists to publish on the current blog. Thought I forgot about those lists I had mentioned when I was crazy sick earlier this summer? Think again; Xanadu, Boogie With a Suitcase 10, Get Yer Rocks Off 10, The Dude’s Old Lady 10, The Boys And Girls From Ipanema 10, and 2 Ubiquitous Mentions are finished and ready now for individual song reviews.

In the meantime, the show updates aren’t going to be as frequent. I’m hoping that the Events Calendar will keep you all updated. As a farewell gift before the family takes off for the exotic locale that is Niagra Falls, I’m listing below several links and one kickass Warhol that have been rotating through my Powerbook lately. Rock on kids, the dog days of summer are fast nearing their end.

Green Day: American Idiot Video. Still rocking hard and putting out sweet videos

Citizens Here And Abroad: Appearances Video. Great song and even better video

The Polyphonic Spree: Media Player, with beautiful photography to boot

The Beastie Boys: ‘Three MCs And One DJ’ Video, Live in Melkweg Amsterdam, May 2004

The trailer for the new Wes Anderson feature, The Life Aquatic, which features great usage of two Bowie classics, ‘Queen Bitch’ and ‘Starman’


The Honorary Title ‘Bridge and Tunnel’ Video, shot by Andrew Paul Bowser. This song is by far one of my favorites of the summer


‘Gun’ by Andy Warhol, ca. 1981-82. Andy Warhol Foundation/CORBIS.






Let all the children boogie-S.
