About a month ago, I wrote up this useless post about a bowl of pho ga which has been around since May. I chose to not divulge this info for “Under $10″ due to the restaurant rescinding the offer in early July. Since then, I’ve been asked numerous times when this special will return.

As of last week, $3.50 got you a large bowl of pho ga (chicken) again. We all already think $6 bowls of beef pho all around LA, SGV & Little Saigon are tremendous values, but then, there also exists a gushing review of a vegan $6.50 banh mi sammy in Reseda. This particular bowl of lighter pho, relatively to that banh mi, is the king of Vietnamese cheap.

HEADS UP
The Dodos @ The Getty Sat Aug 8 (Don’t forget: Free parking!)

If you haven’t been following the Dodos’ new Phil Ek-produced album saga, here are the highlights(?) as we know them:

• The new album was leaked earlier this month
• To combat the leak, Meric Long and Logan Kroeber created this website and offered the album as a free high-quality (320kbps) stream
• Individual tracks are priced at a standard $0.99 rate, but the entire album is now available at Amazon for $2.99, today only (updated: this week only)
• The album will cost more than $2.99 at all other retailers, beginning next Tuesday
• The physical album will drop September 15 on Frenchkiss.

While you’re throwing that one into your shopping cart, don’t forget: Your best Amazon mp3 bet to date remains those incomparable 47-minute Miles Davis live fusion mp3s priced at the bank-breaking rate of $0.99/per.
