WORD?!?!?!
- Burial and Four Tet are releasing a record next week that is available in limited edition from Bleep.com. Burial produced one side of the record and Four Tet the other. Don’t miss out….
- While I thought I made an awesome decision to go see Mayer Hawthorne atEchoplex on Tuesday night – as he is a rising talent with a decent live performance that will only improve over time. The show was good – Hawthorne looks like a budding young crooner, and his band matches him well, (they just need a little more flare to their show), but probably not as good as the party that was going on at Cinespace that featured non other than Mr. Thomas Bangalter himself (from Daft Punk!!!) sans robo-helmet. He spun three tracks at Busy P’s birthday celebration (including Prince’s “Raspberry Beret”), after other members of the Ed Banger crew had already graced the 1’s and 2’s with their presence.
- Low-key weekend for me, but some of you may have hit the Grill Cheese Festival that happened downtown. I heard it was delicious
- There will be another BEERFEST hitting Los Angeles, this time on the east side at Echoplex on Saturday May 9th. Craft Beer Fest. Details will follow in the next update….
- On June 2, Jay $tay Paid, a collection of 25 unreleased J Dilla beats, is scheduled to be released. Pete Rock is said to have arranged and mixed the entire album. If you are a hip hop head – you should be salivating.
- On Thursday April 30th, Last Cup: Road To The World Series of Beer Pong, the film I co-executive produced and worked on, is opening the LA United Film Festival. The film starts at 7 pm at the Vista Theatre. Tickets are available here http://www.
losangelesunitedfest.com . By buying a ticket you are guaranteed entry into the after party at Happy Endings where there will be beer pong and the chance to win some prizes.
