Bits and Pieces: sales galore, secret special code reminders, shows + other random awesome

+ I'm bummed to be missing it, but Gang Gang Dance are playing Bowery Ballroom this Saturday, 7/26. The last time I saw them, it was at some tiny room in "East Williamsburg" and I had to stand behind an art world asshole in a stinky fur coat. I wish I had this opportunity to supplant that memory with a better one, but whatever -- you shouldn't miss the shamanic goodness. (Kat)

+ One of my favorite fair trade labels, Edun, is having a 30% off summer sale at their website -- a great opportunity to stock up on eco-friendly cotton tees and consciously manufactured frocks with a dark, romantic rock 'n roll edge. (Kat)

+ Continuing on the eco-friendly tip, one of our favorite boutiques, Beklina, continues their summer sale at beklina.com. 20-50% off selected lines and styles...hoo-yay! And don't forget, we also have a deal going with them: nogoodforme readers can get 35% off regular-priced stuff (details here) (Kat)

+ Regent's Secret is having a few online sales worth checking out: there's one for Orion London happening at the moment, and an upcoming one on super-girly, romantically-inspired Chelsea Flowers. Regent's has especially great deals, so do sign up and become a member (for free) -- you never know what will come up! (Kat)

+ One of my favorite NYC stores, Oak, is having a sample sale! It starts this Friday at the Bond Street shop, is cash only and will no doubt have some amazing deals. You know it's going to be a crazy scene, so get there early! (Kat)

+ Like every other store in this patch of the United States, Queen Bee is having an end-of-summer sale -- 50% off all summer dresses, tops, pants and skirts from girly labels such as Diane Von Furstenberg, Milly, Only Hearts and much, much more. (Kat)

+ How much do I love Lyell? So much so that everything they have a sample sale, I feel the need to announce it to the whole world so that all can join in with my love and admiration for their beautifully-cut, vintage-inspired elegant designs. So yes, they are having a sample sale this weekend, 7/26 - 7/28, 12 - 7pm, at 173 Elizabeth Street in NYC. It's cash only, so hit up that ATM because you're guaranteed to come away with something gorgeous and adorable. (Kat)

+ Just to remind y'all, NOGOODFORME has two more reader deals going right now: readers can get 10% off at eco-fashion discount e-boutique youdeserve.com with a special code (details here) AND we also have a code for readers at super-cute, super-quirky e-shop Lulus.com for 15% off (deets here). These are all awesome people to deal with, so do support your indie boutiques when you have a yen for retail therapy...(Kat)

+ The lineup for L.A.'s Fuck Yeah Fest V was just announced, and it's kinda awesome. Of course I'm psyched for Glass Candy, Mika Miko, Two Gallants, No Age, Dan Deacon, and my beloved & scary MONOTONIX - but, OMG, Polvo??? The closest I ever got to seeing Polvo was standing next to Ash Bowie for five minutes at a Royal Trux show in 1998, which was pretty much mind-blowing in and of itself. It's time now for everyone to listen to "Enemy Insects" and give me psychic high-fives. (Liz)

+ There's a new Devendra Banhart video and it's for my favorite song off his last record ("Carmencita"), but sadly I'm never going to see it. I started watching it yesterday, and a few seconds into it Natalie Portman started lip-synching, and I had to shut down my MacBook and then set it on fire and then throw it out the window. I don't even dislike Natalie Portman all that much, but I just can't bear to live the rest of my life envisioning a lip-synching Queen Amidala every time I hear my third- or fourth-favorite Devendra Banhart song. So totally don't click on the embed pasted below. Go to Naturalismo and download the mp3: Your life will be about 80 times better for it. (Liz)

COMMENTS!!

POLVO!!!!!!!!!! Wowza! I can't believe I am moving from San Francisco to the midwest 2 weeks too early to see them, so depressing :(

Ash (le sigh) + Royal Trux = awesomeness overload. Polvo was one of the bands that I fell in love with my husband to (11 years ago), the others being Spiritualized, Flaming Lips, & Mercury Rev mostly. We were on our 1st vacation together in D.C. & he was rockin' his Polvo T shirt & this little latina grandma came up to him giggling & said "Do you know what that means?" (see urbandictionary.com) He informed her it was a band & she said "oh, ok." Polvo 4-eva :)

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)

Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
