In the run-up to the release of their debut album Mondo , a new video for Electric Guest's "American Daydream", directed by Jorma Taccone of The Lonely Island, surfaced a couple weeks back. The band starts their free Monday night residency at The Echo here in Los Angeles tonight, with Princeton side-project Sleeping Bags opening up the show. You can also check out my new interview with Electric Guest over at LA Weekly. We talked about the process of recording their album with producer Danger Mouse, how the internet has is changing the way music is [...]
After his last album There Is Love In You gained its rightful spot among most critics' year-end lists in 2010, Four Tet continued to make his presence felt throughout 2011 with a stellar mix for Fabriclive and collaborations with Thom Yorke and Burial and Caribou's new alter-ego Daphni. He also performed here in LA just a few months back at FYF Fest, but will make an exciting return next week with a club performance at legendary beat-tropolis Low End Theory. With two performances from Thom Yorke and James Blake already in the books, it's already [...]
You haven't lived unless you've stood beside a gold-smothered seraglio of nude C-list models alternately texting and fake fawning over a Compton rapper famed for his gangbang past. Presumably, Game's one-hour harem is similarly famous for their gangbang present. Even more mystifying was the Weekly cover girls's ability to name-drop more than Jayceon Taylor, letting me eavesdrop on their tales of rampant "Girlfriend" adultery at the Playboy mansion. Los Angeles is an absurd place, especially when a significant chunk of your income depends on your ability to interview and incinerate weed with rappers. None of these anecdotes made [...]

If you're waiting for links to my extracurricular work on Passion of the Weiss, you'll be largely left languishing. The majority of self-promo is left to Twitter. Follow me so I can regale you with Drake barbs and Quinoa references. Or if you're wisely social media averse, I do write something daily for the LA Times' Pop & Hiss . The exception is someone like Serengeti, who deserves the added attention more than any rapper in recent memory. David Cohn has been writing his scrambled screeds, incisive comedy, and perversely endearing character [...]

Hipsters Heart Hip Hop : Official | Facebook The following Feature Interview has to be the easiest + fastest I ever went from meeting an event organizer to getting the feature published.

Photo via Forest Casey There's a lot left out of my DJ Quik profile . No Suga Free. No AMG. No Hi-C. NOTHING ON QUIK'S GROOVES. Too little on the music and only a cursory mention of anything between Quik is the Name and the Book of David . 2000 words isn't enough to write David Blake's 1-sheet, let alone a feature that neatly captures his sinistral genius. Still, I'm thankful for what I got. Ask any freelancer about snaring that many words in a contemporary print publication [...]

By now you've heard about how post-this, uber-that, and pre-apocalyptically radical the Los Angeles collective Odd Future is. Or maybe your little sis came home with ringleader Tyler the Creator's tag tatted on her teenage ta-ta's. Critics adore them: despite having only inked a distribution deal last week (with RED/Sony), Odd Future — or, formally, Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (OFWGKTA) — has been the object of writerly erections for about eight months now. Meanwhile, female fans cry at the sight of them, and not just because of Tyler's promise [...]
A while back someone went to visit Los Angeles producer/sonic visionary Madlib at his legendary smoky studio base. After leaving his house, this person noticed a box of dusty 45s next to the trash, a shoebox packed with singles that had been discarded by the great Madlib. The person went back and asked Madlib if someone had accidentally thrown some of his singles away, but the producer just shrugged and said the was "done with them" (presumably lifting and sampling minimal beats for his complex tapestries of sound) and that they could have them. But Madlib's trash is [...]

Hey, maybe while you're out in the woods you guys could...you know...find a GUITAR!? MAYBE!? I was taking my lunch break today, reading that abysmal article in the LA Weekly about Godspeed You!
