During an interview with radio.com , Queens of the Stone Age front man, Josh Homme, told the hilarious story of when an unnamed "One Tree Hill" actress almost killed him. Homme explains that he was driving in the Hollywood Hills in his 67 Camaro when he saw a Range Rover coming right at him. He had no option but to veer off the road into a fenced in yard, who just happened to be having a party. While examining the damage and apologizing, he hears "Dude, Queens of the Stone Age just ran through the fence [...]
About a month ago I read Zen and the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury. Mighty book, highly recommend it. Two of the best things I got out of it: 1. Try to write at least 1000 words a day. 2. Be inspired about whatever you're writing about. For a while I've been trying to [...]

A Guerra Fria se desenvolveu como um conflito que se expressava nos planos científico, tecnológico e cultural. A ordem mundial era clara – o mundo estava dividido entre capitalistas e socialistas, mocinhos e vilões. Hollywood não fugiu à regra. Ler o artigo completo [...]

What a way to kick off Lure's Private Label concert series. The combination of Lure being one of the hottest nightclubs in LA and having some of the hottest DJs perform is pure gold. During a Bondax and Breakbot concert that I reviewed back in late March, I noticed how the DJ stage was on the side of the venue rather than the center, making the feng shui a bit odd. On Friday night May 3rd, Lure had a nice setup with lighting rigs, an open roof and the DJs directing the crowd from a riser in the [...]

VIEW MORE PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT HERE . It's quite a blessing that of all the towns and cities around the world, Armin van Buuren chose Los Angeles to premiere his spectacular new album, Intense ( album review here ). LA has always meant a great deal to the trance king and his fans made sure to express their overwhelming appreciation on Saturday night. Although there wasn't an official dress code for the night, it might as well have been an unofficial white party event with hundreds of die-hard fans wearing [...]
The xx - Together Music from The Great Gatsby .
I had the wondrous opportunity to see echo-synth-noise-darkwave duo Tearist (pronounced tear like rip apart) perform at Los Angeles's Lyric Theater a few nights ago. As a total Tearist virgin, I was only marginally prepared for what would ultimately become an invitedly deep aural penetration. The magnetically charged female vocalist, Yasmine Kittles, took the stage with [...] The post Tearist live @ Lyric Theater, Hollywood appeared first on Cougar Microbes .
Sunny Afternoon - The Kinks Well, it was actually cloudy. Bad start. It was Sunday though, yesterday in fact. And I was lazing. Full on. Pants off. Couch on. Watching The Masters on TV. Adam Scott and Angel Cabrera battling it out for the green jacket. It's about half three in the afternoon. Tired enough [...]
About a week and a half ago, I got to enjoy the deep house/disco house/funky house sounds of Cooper Saver, Bit Funk and Amtrac at Polaroid Thursdays in Couture in Hollywood. Read my review below. When we got there, LA native, Cooper Saver, was spinning a mix of disco house and funky tunes that were quite catchy. There [...]
Thao Nguyen, Sallie Ford, and their crews brought a new kind of girl power to sell out the Troubadour last Monday night.

Probably the most influential example of Anime is Akira which was based on the Manga by the legendary Katsuhiro Otomo. Set in the post-apocalyptic community of Neo-Tokyo the hero Tetsuo is a fiercely individualistic member of a motorcycle gang and challenges the despotic authorities, the robot-like police. There are certain [...]

Breakbot played great disco set at Lure in Hollywood last Friday. He spun his own stuff and sprinkled in some Justice and other Ed Banger artists.

Dancing In The Moonlight - Thin Lizzy Thirty minutes in. I think I might be drunk. A tad tipsy. High as a kite. On my way to skunks who are drunks town. In the non-literal sense. Obviously. Literally, I'm 45,000 feet in the air on the way to Miami. High flying. Fly in the sky. [...]
