• The Color Turning | Moon Dogg at Verdugo

  December 21st 08, 17:41

  A great band from Silverlake called “The Color Turning” has been playing a residency this month at the Silverlake Lounge in LA on Monday nights.  Photos from last week below:

  

  

  

  

  

  I’ve been doing a night (when I’m in town) with the always impressive Matt Goldman MFG and artist extraordinaire Tim Biskup on Wednesday nights at the Verdugo lounge in Eagle Rock.  If you’re around, swing by to listen to experimental tunes and from around the world.  Last week artist/graphic designer Ramsey Dau (aka | Vinyl ONLY) played.

• BILLY GIBBONS | RECYCLED DEAD | KENNA

  December 17th 08, 11:05

  I saw Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top play last night with Camp Freddy.  He still has it, amazing.

  

  The Recycled Dead had a Christmas party last weekend, and they framed the jewelry pieces that they did for KZO’s last S/S 09 Runway show.  Stay tuned for three amazing jewelry pieces for KZO’s Fall | Holiday 09 collaboration with them….

  

  

  Saw Kenna yesterday at the recording studio, killing it as usual and supporting, wearing one of our jackets.  Thanks Kenna and some great projects in the works with him too…..Again, stay tuned.

  I am a female in my mid 60’s and I am looking for a room mate. Times are tight and I need some extra money.
  I am willing to rent out my bathroom in my 1 bedroom east village home.

  My bathroom is large. You can easily put a twin air mattress in there. I only ask that when I need to use the bathroom, you or your air mattress are not in it.

  I do ask that when you are in the apartment, you confine yourself to the bathroom. I do not feel comfortable with a stranger walking around my living room. This might change as I get to know you better.
  You may have guest over as long as they are cnfined to the bathroom as well. This might seem a bit odd but please remember the rent is $400 and the bathroom is large.

• † TOKYO 2.0 †

  December 1st 08, 2:07

  Back in Tokyo again after New York for the weekend. Fall 09 protos & seen some great museums and places this trip that I’ve never been to….. Standouts being: 21-21 Gallery (supposed to be better than 20-20 vision) Directed by Issey Miyake, amazing music store Cosmic Joker (great early 70’s German Cosmic Space Rock) at the Wax Museum at Tokyo Tower, yes Tokyo Tower.

  I didn’t believe it either, felt like a total idiot buying a 500 yen ticket to a “wax museum” to eventually get to a music store; with some young girl working the ticket booth who (I’m “guessing” but probably correct) doesn’t know a damn thing about music outside of top 40 J-Pop, but I trusted my friends instincts and it’s actually there….In the back,weird & only in Japan. Other standouts is avante-garde but extremely wearable Japanese women’s brand Toga. I loved the drum set and half-stack amp drenched in christmas lights. Ships Jet Blue just opened up a new store in Harajuku, The Radwimps, Brett Westfall is out here finishing production for Comme des Garcons Homme Plus, and new projects for Fall 09 with KZO + Unholy Matrimony, stay tuned….
