Wreck The Tape Deck

couple new teaser flyers for upcoming summer shows at Corey Helford. while you’re at it, check out our pics of the mohawked one’s recent Monster Within show at Giant Robot 2. good times were had by all… except you, because you weren’t there.

“Here’s some new images from our next two shows – Eric Joyner on 8/14 (1st solo in 2 years!) and Buff Monster on 9/4 (first exhibition since hitting Europe). Both of these artists appeal to the senses in a way that creates the kind of interaction between art and audience that allows each experience to bring something new to the viewer. Check out the new images and info attached and join us for two must-see Saturday night openings this summer”

wow, tough economy. that or MIA sucks. probably both. go here for more info, but basically they’re rolling Hard LA into Hard Summer Fest, which had a way bestest lineup anyway and don’t worry, kidz, you can still use your Hard LA tickets for it. (those HARD peeps sure have a hard time with event planning. they should call in JLo.) more info from HARD LA after the jump, highlight of which is that there is a show Saturday night from Die Antwoord (FUCK YES – well, except for the $35 part) at the El Rey with Destructo and Borgore. tix here, and here’s some Major Lazer to get you excited for August as a small compensation.

Radley Balko at the libertarian (i know, i know, here me out…) Cato Institute put together this sadly fascinating compendium of botched paramilitary police raids. check out the rest here if you feel like being oppressed and depressed at the same time. (here’s M.I.A.’s stupid ginger killing video (didn’t South Park already do this?) for Born Free, since it’s the only appropriate video i can think of right now except for Body Count’s Cop Killer. i don’t get why everyone likes her so much. she’s this generation’s Vanilla Ice. *UPDATE: see?!?!?!)
