Brick Quinceañera : The Smell’s fifteen years as the west coast’s number one art-rock hangout began ticking off back when DTLA was more DMZ than some rube’s idea of Life in a Big City Shoebox Loft. After a year in NoHo, the venue moved to its present site near the Times building, making tiny, grimy Harvard Place the happiest little alleyway in the city. Party decorations at The Smell.

»78s
Dieses Wochenende expandiert die Kilbi zum zweiten Mal ins Überall. 78s postet jetzt Vorfreude.

Arts collective Dublab has announced Light From Los Angeles , a 15-track compilation featuring a number of local musicians, including ambient singer-songwriter Julia Holter and electro crooner Ramona Gonzalez (aka Nite Jewel ), who collaborated together on a track called "What We See". While the gentle cymbals and wavey synths are almost too delicate, the track's main attraction is the gorgeous harmonies and interplay between Holter and Gonzalez. Mirroring that sentiment, the accompanying video (each album track will feature a video shot with Digital Harinezumi cameras) sees the two walking through a [...]

Beck covered 'I Only Have Eyes for You' as a contribution to artist Doug Aitken's multimedia exhibit at the Hirshhorn.
Und..... Beck ? No, we're afraid not that one. For a sincere fan of Beck, this song is welcome news this week. Beck's cover of "I Only Have Eyes For You" could be attributed to many different artists over the years and made most popular by The Flamingos , but the uniqueness of each one is what makes the song so special. A full list of everyone who's covered this song can be found here if that interests you. As a second tier of info to this dreamy and oddly high-quality version [...]
"I Only Have Eyes For You" is a classic American song, a standard written in 1934 by Harry Warren and Al Dubin and most famously recorded by the Flamingos in 1959. And now a whole host of indie artists have recorded covers of the song for artist Doug Aitken's installation " Song 1 ," which comes to Washington, D.C.'s Hirshhorn Museum 5/11. Former Stereogum dude and current Pitchfork editor Brandon Stosuy helped to organize the event, which will involve projections on the museum's walls. Listen to versions of the song from Beck, No Age with Tim McAffee, Devendra Banhart with [...]
Back in March, multimedia artist Doug Aitken began his highly-auspicious public art project "Song 13. Running through May 13th, the installation sees the cylindrical exterior of Washington, DC's Hirshhorn Museum transformed into an 360-degree outdoor cinema, with 11 projectors covering the 82-foot high building each night from sunset to midnight. Accompanying the various visual components is a soundtrack of spliced-together covers of "I Only Have Eyes for You" by Beck, Lucky Dragons, Koen Holtkamp, High Places, James Murphy, Devendra Banhart, No Age featuring Tim McAfee, and more. These new versions range from the hazy crooning of Beck's to [...]
Lucky Dragons - Mirror Makers (by miko revereza ) Mirror Makers from EXISTERS EP on Swill Children .
Put on your headphones; it’s time to listen to Lucky Dragons. Existers , the latest effort from duo Luke Fischbeck and Sarah Rara, can be heard any which way, but the album benefits immensely from the space and texture that a pair of headphones can afford. On headphones, you can almost feel the notes pinch you, as the album opens with an otherworldly pulsation of clicks, whirs and delicate synths that will have your mind glued to its seat. Forget structure. Forget lyrics. Simply appreciate the subtle, haphazard somethings that populate your ears. [...]

Lucky Dragons - New Homes Walking down Manhattan's 6th Avenue I was turned onto a community chalkboard sprouting into a welcome embrace, this initial inspiration bearing the question " What's Your Obsession ". Before adding my own input I stood and watched a crowd of strangers share chalk and room on the board that served as scaffolding to shield a newly abandoned storefront. This interaction, this peek into the sweetheart of New York City, has become a total highlight of recent memory. My ensuing internet search party brought me to Candy Chang 's [...]

Artist Doug Aitken enlists musicians for his "Song 1" installation in DC.
Mads Lund Kolding remix of Lucky Dragon’s Existers starts tentative, like a shy speaker at a conference being q-dot-casted across the universe, a hum, a cough, the seed of a theory encoded in a piano melody of Debussy-like frailty, bootstrapping itself into higher levels of conceptual complexity (and normative implication) through its interactions with heavenly vox and synthetic arabesque. The message is thus abstracted to allow for extreme variance in the cognitive make-ups of its intended recipients, and the planetary environments where it may, or may not, spawn new life. Which is the hypothesis being tested, [...]
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! You'd think this would mean that there would be a bunch of romantic releases coming out this week, right? Eh, not so much, but that doesn't mean there are some great records in stores this Tuesday! This is clearly a week for independent labels. We've pictured Busdriver 's Beaus$Eros ; the album has been out digitally for a while but comes out in physical form this week. There are also new records from Lucky Dragons , Young Magic , and Band of Skulls . Doe Paoro also makes a [...]
