something on your mind

karen dalton was a blues/folk singer from oklahoma. she had a rough life.. a fan of drugs and alcohol and apparently died of aids on the streets of nyc in the 90's. she had a beautiful billy holidayish voice and played the guitar and banjo. listen to my fav 'something on my mind'.

illustrator jess rotter made these karen dalton tees we currently have in the shop.
here's a cute youtube vid of "blues jumped the rabbit"

THE PAMELA LOVE TALON CUFF

My current favorite piece on the site. Wear it with a Balmain sparkly mini dress.. or a tattered Morrissey t-shirt.

Julia wears one on each wrist:

judi rosen summer dresses

we just added some amazing one of a kind summer dresses and skirts by judi rosen. all are very limited and exclusive to bona drag.

these are sample sizes from the spring/summer line that was never mass produced. i did you a favor and put them up for sale instead of smashing them all in my own closet...

track ten (the last track)

mattson 2 - met (featuring ray barbee)

the mattson brothers are local encinitas friends. they are so timeless and amazing live. and they always wear suits when performing which makes them sound even better.

track nine

julia hummer - bowling in woodstocki found julia on myspace. she's from berlin and unsigned... and i think she sounds great.

track eight

whispertown 2000 - i think you should know

"don't worry about a thing.. cause you can't help the way you sing". i love morgan's unconventional voice in these sweet songs.


here's another newer song and video..


The Whispertown 2000 - "Old Times" Video from Whispertown 2000 on Vimeo.

track seven

no age - teen creeps

a great noisy band from los angeles. see more here.

track six

vanishing system - m83 / we own the sky remix

my friends james and paul live in sf and are the vanishing system. this is a great remix of a great song. so fucking beautiful..

i wish i had a hilarious photo to put right here of that one time paul spent christmas with us he got peer pressured into swinging on the rope in the canyon while hungover and couldn't even hang on for more than one second and smashed himself real bad. not being able to hold in your own laughter is one of the coolest things ever.

pizza party

it's time for the internet to finally meet our new kitten, pizza.

i swear he's a robot. someone has a remote control and is constantly making him do the cutest shit imaginable. there's no way he's coming up with these shenanigans with his own kitten brain.
we found him on petfinder.com, and picked him up from judy's house (his foster mom). her whole house was crammed with cat paintings, stuffed animals and figurines.nova didn't love him at first at all but after about a week of brainwashing (and help from joe pease, the animal whisperer) they are now best friends.

track five

chelan - faultlinesi contacted the band waxfire for the mixtape, to find that they have broken up but reformed a new band with the same members, called chelan. turns out, the boy i was talking with happens to be the boyfriend of kime buzzelli. she painted their album cover, and they let me use elements of this beautiful cover for our mixtape cover.
summer machines available on itunes.
