Black Moth Super Rainbow’s Tobacco has announced plans to release his debut solo album Fucked Up Friends. I trust anything that Tobacco does and have full faith in this album.
From his press release:
“On F***ed Up Friends, his first solo album, Tobacco explores a darker, starker and altogether more badass dimension of his complex vision. With his group Black Moth Super Rainbow, Tobacco distinguished himself as a master of jagged beats, glowing melodies and pronounced tension. This time, he works alone, in rural Pennsylvania, away from conventions and interference.”
Next Friday The Boredoms will be performing 88BoaDrums with 88 drummers selected by The Boredoms who will begin exactly at 8:08 and play for 88 minutes at the La Brea Tar Pits. This is going to be an incredible experience and I highly recommend this FREE event.
Although this event is free, you must get a ticket before hand. They just released a new batch so what are you waiting for?! Get your ticket here!

So while everyone is talking about the Dark Knight – myself included – allow me to introduce you to what I’m putting my money down as the best movie of the year. Kabluey, which is loosely based on director/writer/lead actor Scott Prendergast’s sister, follows the average life of Inept Salman. Salman isn’t a very bright man, not a very motivated man, and is not good with kids. When he hits rock bottom and has to move in with his sister-in-law and absorb her “motherly duties” while his brother is fighting in Iraq, all hell breaks loose in an ‘indier’ Little Miss Sunshine Fashion. Check out the trailer below and then go check out Kabluey, it’s currently playing in Los Angeles at the Sunset 5 and the Regent Showcase.
Today in LA the Earth stopped by to remind us who’s in charge with an earthquake of 5.8. I had forgotten what a quake felt like and despite everyone I know gushing about how fun it was (myself included), I can’t help but wonder what will happen when it hits closer and harder but since there is nothing we can do about it and even city council didn’t leave, I suppose all we can do is enjoy life until that day.
And here’s what’s going on in your world today.
The Watson Twins, Tim Fite and Robert Francis at the Echo
Black Kids at the El Rey
Bloc Party with Does It Offend You, Yeah? at the Mayan
The Shys at the Troubadour
