Dance-beat Dean
Bedroom DJs nationwide have been mixing sampled loops of Dean's whack state roll call ("We're going to California! We're going to South Dakota!") and wild-eyed "Yeaaghh!" war cry with amped-up club beats to create some of the most popular downloads currently trading on the Web. With names like "Dean Goes Nuts Remix" and "Hey Yeahgh!" the clips can be found on most peer-to-peer file-sharing sites.
Fighting Eel fashions
The Honolulu fashion design team will launch its new spring line at a party at Indigo from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Feb. 6.
The clothes are cotton/Lycra separates with a sense of humor. Bright colors, hand embellishing and bias cuts speak to spring 2004 trends. Shaka hands slink around the sides of a deconstructed halter T-shirt (pictured). Starfishes sit on the side seams of a sexy blue tank.
