Wreck The Tape Deck

holy jesus (satan), Dave MacDowell may just be the new king of pop (rest in pieces, M.J.). i was lucky enough to see David MacDowell’s The Sins of Atticus Finch show at Thinkspace a couple months ago, and the more i see of his portfolio of jumbled up pop schizophrenia, the more i laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh all crazy like while talking to myself. there is plenty of more wonderful-ness on his website here, and you can read his blog here to read about the methods behind his particular brand of madness. preach on, mad pop genius. preach on.

every second Thursday of the month is the Downtown Art Walk where trusting artistic souls open more than thirty galleries as well as their hearts to the Los Angeles public. usually there are lots of random people, lots of booze, and lots of damage… and for once it’s not just me. here are a few of the highlights from tonight:

Crewest has their seven year anniversary surprise with live beats by DJ Phyz Ed (best DJ name ever) and live printing by Two Rabbits, plus art from a TON of artists.

Jessica Ward -Canceptual

Thinkspace is invading the Citzen LA Downtown Art Park (458 S. Main Street in downtown Los Angeles 90013 (between 4th & 5th) with live painting from Mear One (fucking rad!) and Ekundayo.

the Hive Gallery is still showing it’s May collective (Hive? collective? get it?) of artists, as well as musical type performances. they usually charge, too, so here’s your chance to see stuff there for free.

finish the night up by hitting Dance Right at La Cita, with free entry through their RSVP here, and DJ sets from the IHEARTCOMIX boys Franki Chan and Juiceboxxx (second best DJ name ever…)
