R.I.P. Alexander McQueen…
now that i’ve seen so much of Alexander McQueen’s work post memoriam, i’m pretty blown away by his sadly wasted talent. check out Björk’s requiem words for him here. pour one out 4 tha homiez, y’all. by the way, i have completely forgotten how utterly amazing Björk is. (and how amazing Michel Gondry USED to be.)
TONIGHT through the 10th of October: ten years of dub… lab.
Los Angeleno collective Dublab are celebrating ten years of booty shaking, indie films and other artistic pursuits with ten nights of events scheduled in October, starting tonight and continuing through to the tenth. there are performances from Jimmy Tamborello (aka Dntel of Postal Service fame), Daedelus and Dr. Strangeloop, and a ton of other local celebrity types. more information here. i’ll most likely see you at Part Time Punks at the Echo (1822 Sunset Blvd) Sunday and Give Up at Cinefamily Monday (611 North Fairfax). i saw Tamborello do a set at a Give Up-style anti-Valentine night at the Echo way back when and it was hilarious because everyone was acting all depressed and heartbroken and stuff. heartbreak makes me laugh. ha!…. ha… heh…. : o (
TONIGHT: Sun Kil Moon i.e. Red House Painters plays you into a sweet, sweet coma at the El Rey with Mia Doi Todd
Red House Painters – Japanese To English
you might know Mark Kozelek from the amazing and sadly (that’s a pun) defunct Red House Painters. if you don’t, this quote from their wikipedia page should bring you up to date: “Kozelek used this group primarily as a vehicle for his very personal and emotional songs of despair, pain and suffering.” haha… despair makes me laugh.
Kozelek plays hauntingly beautiful sets which last a llooonnnnnng, lllooooonnnnngggg time, so if you have a few hours to kill and strength of ego enough to endure the music equivalent of shooting heroin, then head on down to the El Rey to see his Sun Kil Moon project. playing with local favorites Mia Doi Todd.
