For a man who professes to live on watermelon and beer, Matthew Houck, or Phosphorescence, is doing pretty well. Last night at Nectar Lounge in Fremont, Houck and his current touring band masterfully worked their way through an emotional and at times exuberant, set of music. Phosphorescence guitarist Jesse Anderson Ainslie frenetic solos were an unexpected highlight. Second only to Ainslie’s uncanny resemblance to Tommy Chong.

The nearly 80 minute whiskey ‘n’ tears soaked set ended with Houck serenading the crowd goodnight in exactly the way a man who just put out a record full of Willie Nelson songs would. With a cover of Nelson’s, The Party’s Over.

You can catch Phosphorescence at Holocene in Portland tonight. And I mean that in the nicest possible “do not miss this show” kind of way. For more Phosphorescence tour dates, click here.

Work it! Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s Andy Warhol Dress…

Last year, two of the highlights at Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s fashion show in Paris was the designers sequined Obama dress and the moment Sasha Baron Cohen (in character as Bruno) disrupted the show by jumping up on the catwalk. This year, Castelbajac outdid himself with images of Andy Warhol, Clint Eastwood and The Muppets (not a typo) marching down the runway.

No frogs were hurt in making this coat. Mostly because Kermit is a fucking Muppet.

The Kermit coat. The head-of-Kermit headband is a nice touch.

What are you looking at punk? Castelbajac’s Clint Eastwood dress.

Bang-bang! Dirty Harry is a dress.
