• Last Night: Vampire Weekend @ The Glasshouse

  Last Night: Vampire Weekend at the Glass House September 16, 2008 Better Than: taking your garlic pills. Download: "Oxford Comma" from the Vampire Weekend homepage. Buzz and critical acclaim can be a double-edged sword. Vampire Weekend wielded the sharper side last night by performing a biting set that silenced critics and delighted fans. The city of Chino was well represented in the form of Abe Vigoda. They mentioned they used to get dropped off to see shows at the Glass House and also inf

  Don't put your protest signs away just yet, anti-Prop. 8 opponents. (Orange County Mormon temples have been disrupted recently thanks to the Church of Latter-Day Saints having funneled gobs of cash into the Nov. 4 state voter initiative that prohibited gay marriage.) Mormon Times reports that Segerstrom Concert Hall at the Orange County Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa will be the site of a Christmas concert Wednesday featuring five choirs and a 60-piece orchestra associated with

• Do OC Weekly Food Critics Practice Payola?

  Last month, I took issue with The Filling Station in Orange because I felt they overcharged for merely good food. Over the weekend, owner John Hughes (not the same genius behind all those Brat Pack films) left this humdinger of a comment:I always found it funny that OCweekly [sic] gives great reviews for people who advertise. Thus we never advertise. Food price is based on a 25-30% cost basis. Make your own omelet for $3 at home and you will have achieved something. So I'm confused, you thorough

• Filling Station Owner Still Won't Apologize for Payola Insinuation

  Last week, after quite the active back-and-forth on a post about how Filling Station owner John Hughes accused Edwin and I of payola, Hughes finally responded. Did he give the apology he owes us for his serious accusation? Is his food a bargain? Here's Hughes' note:It appears the touchy one is you! There is no need to use defamatory language while representing the OC Weekly. It seems reasonable to point out to a reviewer who states "I thoroughly enjoyed my turkey chili cheese omelette" and "Th

• Gettin' Made: Frantically Mincing Words

  A couple of my husband and I's favorite booths to visit at any given craft fair are The Frantic Meerkat and The Mincing Mockingbird. One booth features all kinds of fun clip-arty type images with hilarious sayings accompanying them--the other, poignant artworks focusing on all kinds of birds. I got to talking with Kim of Frantic Meerkat for a brief moment at this summer's Unique L.A. event, and it turns out the reason we're always seeing these booths right next to each other is they are two halv

• Three Awesome, Wildly Different 'Pretty in Pink' Covers

  ​The Psychedelic Furs, in concert Saturday at the House of Blues in Anaheim, have been together for more than 30 years (albeit with a nine year hiatus between 1991 and 2000), and produced seven studio albums. But let's face it, what they're still most known for is their 1981 song "Pretty in Pink," which inspired the title of the iconic 1986 John Hughes-penned, Molly Ringwald-starred movie of the same name (and featured a re-recorded version of the song on the soundtrack). And as it often goes
