Today as I was crawling around the interwebs, I happened to stumble upon The Dandy Warhol's band website and was thoroughly impressed by their design.
A band that sky-rocketed to rockstar status in the 90's with hits such as "Not if you were the last junkie on Earth...", "Everyday Should be a Holiday", and "Bohemian Like You" the Dandy Warhols have maintained a steady career trajectory and are currently touring on a greatest hits album: "The Capitol Years". Wondering what my favorite Portlandites have been up to recently, I went to their website to find out:

There's a lot going on here but I feel like it's all super well-organized. You have all of your (many) social networking links at the top, website navigation, and A BLOG! Woo!!! Here you can find out what frontman Courney Taylor-Taylor reads on tour (Thomas Hardy, apparently), the status of his hangovers, and who's coming to his hotel rooms for parties! Ah, the life of a rock star who just doesn't quit...
I especially like how all of the design elements of the page reflect the album art of the newest release. The typeface used is interesting and gives a 1940's vibe to the page, as do the scratchy black and white photos and the visuals in the new video presented at the top. The typeface reminds me of Citizen Kane for some reason, I don't know why. All I know is that I need that typeface now. Off to track it down!
