Trippy Justice Video


The "ON'N'ON" video by Justice might scare you if you're on acid - or it might be the coolest thing ever. If you're sober - I suppose you could still have the same reaction. What do you think? Reminds me of Star Wars credits, The Never Ending Story and hallucinations. Plus, its got enough special effects that its not just your average music video.

Massive effects, skeletons, colors, explosions and, justifiably, the members of the duo make it entertaining.

Brit Star James Morrison at Sayer's Club Tonight


The sweet sexy voice of James Morrison is going to bring Sayer's Club to its knees tonight at an exclusive event - but maybe, just maybe, he makes a surprise appearance at Sayer's Club later at night with the house band?

Did you catch this Brit on TV last week? Seriously - he crushed it. I've never seen him live - but its hard not to recommend someone with a voice this good. SO - if you find yourself with some spare time late night and are willing to take the gamble - attempt going to the Sayer's Club and see if he appears with the house band. I'm taking a stab at it. Even if he doesn't - the house band is always good and they mix a great cocktail at Sayer's (...not saying its a cheap cocktail).

Here is a video of him performing earlier this month at Dominion in New York - the same spot we held our CMJ party!

Palter Egos & Barsh-Mellows at Del Monte Speakeasy




It hasn't been too long since Townhouse reopened their downstairs chilled out oasis, The Del Monte Speakeasy, but its fast become a westside music lovers spot of choice. The famed, sweaty, throwback bar in the basement of the Venice staple has been steadily heating up with a parade of artists that you would regularly expect to see at rooms like The Roxy, The Echo and The Mint.






Sunday January 8th is no different - with hot producer and keys-playing extraordinaire, Sam Barsh. Him and his Barsh-Mellow jam should ignite the Venice venue all night with sexy covers, original material from Sam's various projects - including new indie soul pop project Palter Ego, featuring him and Jesse Palter, and possibly even some of Barsh's newest productions that are slated to appear on Norah Jones' new record and Def Jam rapper Wax's mixtape.




This is the first of what hopes to be many Barsh-Mellow shows. His funky eclectic vibe is the perfect fit for Del Monte. RSVP to the show via the facebook event link here.
