Wavves- King of the Beach
Wavves are playing at the Echoplex tonight (10/15).
Duologue– Underworld
I saw these guys last night and they put on a great live show. They are playing tonight at Taix (The Champagne Room) as part of Culture Collide. Check them out!
Liars- Scissor
Things to do this weekend in and around Los Angeles-
The B-52’s- Legal Tender
DayGlo colors, big wigs, 1980’s video production values and a song about making counterfeit dollars all come together to equal awesome.
The National- Pink Rabbits (Live on KCRW)
Listening to their latest album, Trouble Will Find Me, was perfect on this rainy day in Los Angeles.
MGMT- Cool Song No.2
The latest video from their new self-titled album. It stars Michael K. Williams, previously the antihero Omar Little on The Wire and now Chalky White on Boardwalk Empire.
The video is a little bit Drive, a little bit Breaking Bad, and a lot of a man who seems to be turning into a tree (a disease which is a rare but real thing, unfortunately).
Boardwalk- I’m to Blame
Things to do this weekend in Los Angeles-
If you have a Bank of America card, on the first weekend of the month the following museums are free-
Beastie Boys- “Sabotage”
This video directed by Spike Jonze is one of the most iconic from the days when people watched a lot of music videos. From the costumes to the editing and direction this one never gets old.
I loved seeing M83 play on Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl. Singer Anthony Gonzalez brought such a lovely energy to the show. I can’t remember the last time an artist seemed so genuinely thrilled to be performing.
This song, Kim and Jessie, from the album Saturdays=Youth, wasn’t included in the show but I love it, so I thought I’d put it up this week.
