loves XLR8R.com's online content

The back page of their latest issue (starring Matthew Dear) boasts:

"XLR8R Videos:
Crisper than YouTube,
Cooler than hell"

Totally true.
You can certainly scan through YouTube for the right videos to hit, or you can go straight to XLR8R.com to catch the cream of the crop. They post 5 free mp3s every week, a weekly podcast with DJ mixes, ringtones, wallpapers, not to mention all the things you love about XLR8R - the music features + reviews, fashion, art, and tech stuffs. And let's not over look those event listings and contests. Yeowza.

Here's just one of the mp3s on their downloads page:

Thanks XLR8R, you're the best. x

lag lag

Just a tiny note to say - YES I am aware that I haven't updated the actual "site" lately. I put up the LA Times article(s) that featured Adam "Hollywood" Hobbs & myself. (They -it was a two-parter - came out in April right before that little festival called Coachella.)

I plan to update the site with new pictures + flyers + etc soon, as well as take down some stale ones. Out with the old, in with the new - like they say.

In other news I've created a digital zip mp3 mix. Oh digitalism. I miss the warmth of cassettes, but love the immediacy of the future.

Going to go see Entrance tonight... reporting on it later.

Besos con amor!

"Control" making a splash @ Cannes

Dutchie director/newbie director Anton Corbijn's film about Joy Division named "Control" is getting applause at Cannes. This gives me hope, because let's face it - with the news of Elijah Wood playing Iggy Pop - we're just set up to be disappointed regarding music-based film stories. The praise surrounding this, the excitement surrounding this, leads me to be excited about the film's US release.

Closer on Wikipedia
"Control" official movie site

As reported by the BBC:
A British film about the life and death of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, starring a first-time actor, has earned a rapturous reception in Cannes. Unknown Sam Riley said he was "working in a warehouse in Leeds folding shirts" when he was cast to star in Control. Debut film director Anton Corbijn said the newcomer had brought "an innocence and freshness that I was hoping for but never thought I would find". The surviving members of Joy Division, who became New Order, have seen the finished film, Corbijn said. "They hardly ever agree on anything together, but they have agreed that they all love the film." The movie opened the 60th Cannes Film Festival's Director's Fortnight.

The Black Crowes' "Seeing Things" + then some...

What's up with The Black Crowes show at the Fonda (June 16th, y'all!) being advertised in an oh-so-minimal fashion? I only found it because I was cruising Upcoming.org.
Either way, I'm stoked.
