I tell you it's been kinda liberating. I could have easily followed this slippery slope and completely given up on this thing, but, i don't know, there's this compulsion i have to it. And it's really only for me. But now we're settled, we have internet, school is on a mid-semester break, so i'll continue. Tuesday, March 19th Bad for good - Jim Steinman [...]

To the rest of this half of the world, it’s officially Spring Time. But in LA, we just skip directly into summer and get right to it. If there’s one thing that tends to come to mind upon those rising temperatures, I think most people would say pool parties. The concept of a solid pool party is basically the epitome of summer fun, and something that we’re fortunate enough to have on a very regular basis. Awesome music, all your friends, very good looking girls, refreshing drinks; all on a rooftop setting…what more could you want on a sunny Saturday? [...]

The band first began developing the show in the middle of 2008 . The show is executive produced by Christian Jacobs (also co-creator of Yo Gabba Gabba! ) who also plays MC Bat Commander (or perhaps it's the other way around.) The cast also boasts the rest of the band, founding member and bassist Chad Larson (aka [...]
McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) -- Members of the rock band The Aquabats were looking for a way to stand out when they formed in 1994 in Orange County, Calif. A love of Saturday-morning cartoons and a little sewing helped turn the ska band into a group of rocking superheroes. Band members - wearing costumes inspired by the novel looks of groups like Devo and Oingo Boingo - not only play music but fight weird-looking creatures on stage. The heroes come...

From Kris Kross to Danzig, SoCal writer, Liz Ortega tells us about her '90s identity crisis along with her brutal fashion sense.
Whether you listen to an artist because they sound good or because you've been attracted by their name, either item always seems to be one of two reasons you've discovered any number of songs in your music library. Remember the old days before iTunes when you would look at the album cover and say, "Yup, I'm going to buy this". Now that times have changed and music is so readily available to us, it still comes down to the band name itself that can either make or break our decision to even listen to the artist. The list below represents [...]
Danny DeVito is a 66-year-old Hollywood legend having a blast at Coachella this weekend. Is that so wrong? He's there every year! He should have his own stage. Not just any celebrity could turn so many tweeting hipsters into giddy paparazzi (well, that's not true), but still it's nice to see this particular icon embraced. Lots of Matilda -heads over in Indio. Like last year Devito's sporting an It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia cap and taking photos of his feet (it's a thing, look it up). There he is onstage with the Aquabats! Backstage with the [...]
Who: The Aquabats in the Mohave Tent In 3 or Fewer Words: Super skank celebration I’ll Remember This Until: The next time cave men from the past travel to the present to destroy future Coachella. The Aquabats took their tent back to 1997 with an impossible to dislike set of mischievous ska-skewed power-punk. The 35-minute set was replete with irreverent skits (a goof on Kings of Leon was well-received), mock dinosaur battles and a Chinese dragon puppet of Falcor, the luck dragon from [...]
Cee-Lo bombed. Ariel Pink melted down. Brandon Flowers showed up with the Killers. Omar Rodriguez-Lopez showed up with the Mars Volta. Skrillex showed up with Korn. DJ Afrojack showed with up Paul McCartney. (Yeah, that Paul McCartney, and Usher too.) Odd Future showed up with Pharrell. The Aquabats showed up with Danny DeVito. Ozomatli showed up with the Pogues. And Cut Copy, Crystal Castles, Caifanes, Robyn and Ms. Lauryn Hill delivered the caliber of performances for which the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival is known. And as opposed to 2010, when logistical problems, gatecrashers and [...]
:: I found this amazing blog last night thanks to Chunklet and instantly devoured the whole thing. A guy found a trunk full of seven-inch vinyl circa 1987-1993, then decided to write about and rip a record a day until he got through the entire collection. All of today's random tracks that don't suck have been culled from said trunk. :: Rolling Stone has reprinted its 1968 story about the inception of The Band . :: You pick up that new Reggie Watts vinyl [...]
