I Took The Train Home After All

It's a cruel, cruel Summer. On my way back from The Hamptons, as I am writing this, I am not sure what this weekend has in store.

All I know is, when I see girls in a pool, I know there's a god above.






Yes, friends, the spice of life are women in the summer time. I'm telling you, this is the new Summer-of-Love.

A poem:

I Took The Train Home After All

Telling her you love her /
Is dangerous /
When you know there's another /
Who she knows /
Can't stay bound by tether /

He breaks down /
Erupts with molten lava /
She in her gown /
Of cuts and woven honor /
Sheer as coal /

The bitter guest /
The girl of mistakes /
Not liked by the rest /
More than one woman hates /
Acts like a succubus /
At Hell's Fiery Gates /

Meanwhile it's Summer /
Outside is the pool /
He said goodbye to her /
Feeling like a fool /
For saying those words /
Some girls want to hear /
But not this one /
She made it quite clear /

We are going to launch the new official website soon, DGTLHRNE.com! Don't google it now, it's not up yet. It is in the Digital Heroine lab. It's still on the operating table being patched together; about to be pullied up through the ceiling to be activated by lightning.

In the mean time, come to Public Assembly tomorrow night. Sign up on our email list at the Tape Theory merch table and receive a free download card of The Eidolons' album, No One Ever Sticks Around That Long!

The Dandy Warhols Are Sound released yesterday

The Dandy Warhols released ...Are Sound yesterday. It's not a new album. This particular album became Welcome To The Monkey House (also a title by Kurt Vonnegut) with the original mixes shelved by Capitol Records.

late 2001 and into 2002 we recorded an album’s worth of tracks here in Portland and took those tracks to New York’s Electric Lady Studios to mix with famed mixing engineer Russell Elavedo, and the result of those mixing sessions was The Dandy Warhols Are Sound.

Now self-released (via Topspin) by the band, they offer several packages including a digital download with the T-shirt. Which seems awfully familiar.

For anyone who may be casually stumbling upon this blog: our band, The Eidolons did that September 2, 2008.

Shows this week

Hot Seconds play tonight at Southpaw, Brooklyn, 9PM

Cruel Black Dove play with Hopewell and Morning After Girls at Mercury Lounge Thursday.

Nite Club and Vinyl Life play at Public Assembly Saturday

Williamsburg Waterfront Pool Party

Mission Of Burma:


Yesterday, Sunday July 12, was the kick-off of the Pool Parties at their new location: East River State Park. Mission Of Burma, Fucked Up, Ponytail, and Jemina Pearl performed on the stage in front of the beach, which was in front of the food court. That's where the beer was, so that's where you could find the writer of the Digital Heroine blog. Where there is beer, there will I be - drinking effortlessly and lounging in the shade. Alas, there was very little shade to be found. I doused my pale, vampire-like skin with a liter of sunblock. SPF 70 Coppertone Ultraguard (TM) Sunscreen Continuous Spray (R), to be exact. I highly recommend not getting sunburned. Be safe, kids!

Another product we at Digital Heroine headquarters recommend is Café Bustelo coffee. They were serving delicious coffee icecream yesterday that went great with my beer diet.

Café Bustelo girl:


In confusion, this was comparable to the previous location, McCarren Pool, in the following ways:
• It was a different location
• The bands were OK
• It was really hot and sunny
• It was free
• Williamsburg is awesome
• I like beer
• I like icecream

Peter Murphy at Highline last night

The Peter Murphy show at the Highline Ballroom had a strict "No Photography Whatsoever" policy including that of cell phones. Don't tell anyone this shot is up on the Digital Heroine blog. Sowwy Highwine Ballwoom.

He played a few new songs early in the set. He then talked about the Michael Jackson memorial and chanted what sounded like a Latin or Hebrew prayer for the dead. I don't think he's Jewish, but I recognized the word "Elohim" (a name of G-d). I do remember him reciting, in Latin, The Lord's Prayer backwards on the recording of Stigmata Martyr from In The Flat Field. So I'm honestly not sure what he recited for Micheal last night, but when I find out....

When I find out I will learn it and recite it at your funeral.

But I digress. Following the MJ banter, Peter Murphy performed his cover of John Lennon's Instant Karma. He played a couple of hits including Deep and A Strange Kind of Love, in which he began to sing Bella Lugosi's Dead. "Too Much 21st Century" sounded almost as good as Bauhaus from Go Away White. Before the encore, he and the band (which was quite good) played Joy Division's Transmission. The encore included a karaoke version of Bowie's Space Oddity which merged into Bauhaus' She's In Parties with the full band returning to the stage.

As for his forthcoming album, it will be "announced in the near future" following "the staggered release of 4 single covers" which are of David Bowie (of course), John Lennon, and probably Joy Division. As for the fourth....

When I find out I will have it played at my funeral.

Kenneth Anger Kustom Kar Kommandos

See his exhibit at PS1.

Kenneth Anger PS1 exhibit

Last Saturday July 4 was the first Warm Up party at PS1. It was mostly trance-heads as far as the revelers went. Most likely because the musicians were Jonah Sharp of Spacetime Continuum and company.
Once we let ourselves get into the "unsk unsk unsk unsk" sound and had some dranks it was fun.



The best part of the exhibits was that of film maker Kenneth Anger.
I will post a YouTube of his famous, Kustom Kar Kommandos. I just don't have time right now so stay tuned....
