Back in 1997 Anthony Lovett and Matt Maranian wrote and published what eventually became my favorite Los Angeles guidebook. That book's name was (and is) LA Bizarro . A few years ago on this website I talked to Matt about the original book's undertaking ( fun interview with Matt here ). Since that time the two authors have now revised, updated and significantly expanded that original tome, and their collective output was published by Chronicle Books just this fall. In the 2009 updated edition of LA Bizarro (available at the time of this [...]
Zinc has been storming the dirty bass electro scene of late with an impressive run of floor filling bangers which have now been compiled into his recently released Crack House EP , and to further cement his rapid ascent in his new chosen genre he has banged out a massive 64 track Essential Mix. DJ Zinc - Essential Mix Tracklist 1. Geeneus ft Ms Dynamite – Get Low (CDR) 2. Zinc – Nu Sound (Bingo Bass) 3 Acid [...]
I wrote this post over a year ago - in August 2008, to be exact - after I got a cease and desist for posting a song by a girl named Gabriella Cilmi. For whatever reason, I didn't post this. Maybe I figured some mysterious record company man in a long black coat with scars on his face would whack me in the parking lot if I did. Not so worried about that now. And, if you don't mind me noting: as of today - November 20, 2009 - I haven't heard a lot [...]
This is where I talk about one of my favorite things, television. Some critics are saying that 30 Rock has lost it's touch this season. Those critics are crazzzy. If anything, think that it just took a little longer this year for the show to hit it's stride. You may remember last season was a bit doubtful (read: too cameo-heavy) till 5 or 6 episodes in and then it never let up. Furthermore, I think a person with any sense would realize that with last night's episode "Sun Tea", 30 Rock is [...]
Front man Jamey Paul Luna of Los Angeles metallers Holy Grail has issued the following statement from the road: "The tour has been ripping so far, only 3 shows in and the crowds are getting better and better. 3IOB and Saviours are slaying it down and total bros, can't wait to see what kind of insanity strikes upon us next!" Holy Grail is curr... Read More/Discuss on Metal Underground.com
OK, so it's Friday afternoon in the great Pacific Northwest and I'm at work. If it weren't for the fact I'm supposed to hear back from a couple of clients about new contracts, I'd split this joint in a heartbeat. I. don't wanna work. I wanna bang on the drum all day.... So, I'm cleaning up some of my drafts...here's a radio mix from over a year ago. Who knows if it's any good. This week's radio mix: Santana - Hold On Isaac Hayes - Don't Let Go REO [...]
In the week Chuck Schumer became a bike-riding, Williamsburg Pool Party-saving hipster man of the people, we roamed far and wide over his most precious borough, from an Obama Fried Chicken in Bro... Continue reading "Week in Review: Like a Sexy Swedish Chick in a Natural Mineral Sauna" >
If you've been living under a rock you wouldn't know about Elite Force and his batch of magnificent remixes and re-fixes of late. The man himself sent through a 320 (FREE!) mp3 for all of us to enjoy of his supremely kick-ass rework of Deadmau5's Ghosts 'n Stuff. Deadmau5 - Ghosts 'n Stuff (Elite Force Re-Fix) Personally? [...]
Toni Braxton's video for new single "Yesterday" premiered on The Wendy Williams Show today. In the sultry clip, Braxton catches her man getting frisky with a busty blonde who— Whaaaaa?!? —turns out to be Brooke Hogan. And how does Toni react to this act of complete betrayal? By writhing around on a piano, of course! All in all, not a bad slow jam! In fact, "Yesterday"—which also features vocals from Trey Songz—is highly reminiscent of Braxton's golden phase of hit ballads ("Another Sad Love Song," "Breathe Again") circa 1993. [...]
J. Tillman took the stage at the Middle East Upstairs for a late show on Sunday night. But then again, it was only 8pm in Seattle, the west-coast town that this drummer from Fleet Foxes calls home. The performance was a family affair, with J. Tillman's brother Zach opening as a solo act called Pearly Gates Music . Zach Tillman offered us a stripped-down version of his already sparse style: leaving behind all unnecessary instruments, he came to us as one man and a guitar crooning blues and covering Pavement's "Shoot [...]
Dave Dupuis is familiar figure to Eastside clubgoers, and not just for his head of hair, which seems to occupy the whole room. Dupuis, who plays guitar in Film School and was a sound man at Spaceland and for several bands (including Silversun Pickups ), recently debuted his new band, the trio Nightmare Air . It features Film School drummer and longtime friend James Smith and bassist-singer and fellow New Hampshire native Swaan Miller, and it's not just their local associations that have ears turning. Nightmare Air's freakout-meets-space rock sounds like a Silversun Pickups vs. No [...]
Holy fucking ape shit I'm really excited about this record coming out. I just found out, thanks to Blabbermouth.com , that the tracklist and label have been confirmed for Shining's Black Jazz record. If you rememeber us writing about this a few months ago in out response to listening to their last record Grindcore and being in awstruck of what we where hearing. Well from the looks of it in their comments about the record and the video, this looks to be even more brutal and crazier then the last record. Here is the comment from their [...]
I think Dres has been bumping that Aaliyah classic "Age Ain't Nuthin But A Number" cause he's not letting his closer proximity to AARP status slow him down one bit. I guess hip-hoppers are taking verbal Viagra these days and are subsequently lasting longer (pause) in the game. Back like he never left, Dres , one-half of the '90s hip hop crew Black Sheep , is not really feeling the hip-hop retirement plan and is gearing up to release two new projects in the coming months. According to AllHipHop, the homie Dres, who's best known by [...]

Escuchen ya esto que es lo nuevo de nuestro mejor amigo en el mundo Van Scott . Primero, un remix de lo último de Black Eyed Peas que está super calentón. Los otros dos son mashups bien interesantes que demuestran el poder de este newyorkino. 'Paparazzi' de Lady Gaga ahora me suena mejor con Diva Jones. Por cierto, Scott nos informa también las novedades que se aproximan para Drlkt Freddie [...]
