What do Erin Wasson and Ezra Furman & The Harpoons have in common?

Ever since the Alexander Wang FW2010 fashion video with Abbey Lee came out featuring music by The XX, I've been trying to figure out what fashion lines would go best with which songs/bands.  So far I have decided on Erin Wasson's FW2010 collection for RVCA and the song, "Big Deal" by Ezra Furman & the Harpoons.  It's kind of perfect. 

On a related note, I saw Ezra Furman & The Harpoons play last year at Pianos.  They passed out Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to everyone in the crowd.  I've been kind of obsessed with them ever since.

I Usually Hate the Whole Goth-y New York Thing...

Buuuuut, I just looked at Kimberly Ovitz's FW2010 collection and I got to say that she has done it right.  Cute, chic, unique draping.. a little boho, a little tailored, && some stripes + hoods thrown in for good measure.  Plus, it looks as though her cuts are forgiving on the body unlike a lot of similar NYC designers (offenders A, B, and C).

(Don't mind those 90's Matrix style glasses, plz)

On a related note, I just discovered that the goth style in NYC vs LA is much much MUCH different.  While the New Yorkers do a minimalist goth, I find that people in LA tend to do what I like to call "rockstar goth" - that is, lots of trinkets, hair dyed black, a bit of makeup (on dudes, namely), etc etc.  Am I right with this here?

There are, however, always exceptions. But Odilon is a post for another day.
