Scotty’s band played at Fontana’s last night with Des Roar. Both bands sounded amazing. I only wish my camera didn’t die so I could’ve taken video of Des Roar as well. love all those guys :)

My Addendum to Wired Magazine's- Geekster Handbook
In Wired’s April 08 issue, “Wired’s Geekster Handbook, a Field Guide to the Nerd Underground” caught my attention. As I’m reading through them, I realize that I’m not quite sure where I fit in… (photo cred- wired.com, click on above link to read the article!!) Although I see a lot of shows and listen to a lot of music, I would never place myself into...

Bat For Lashes- What’s a Girl To Do. Recommended to me by Brandt (when he was DJing at La Esquina), primarily because of the crazy video- hooded, animal mask wearing, bike riders… and a cute french singer. Intriguing. However after listening to the song numerous times, given my situation with artist John Mclane, I feel like it’s VERY appropriate to post. [Bat for Lashes hails...

Virtual Lower East Side
Brandt told me about this Virtual lower east side thing that he was asked to help work on (i think MTV and Vice mag collaborated on it)… and i had no idea what it was… so i looked it up. pretty interesting concept. you create your own virtual lower east side character, dress them, meet people, party, check out virtual lower east side shows… i don’t have time to do that (bc...

kidnap and napkin... in one word. kidnapkin.
I went to go see Kidnapkin at the Village Underground last night, and it was a realllyyy good show. I was planning on going to Ruff Club after or Robot Rock, but I ended up hanging with kidnapkin forever instead. i have a bunch of drunken videos, but we kept DTMing kevin and it made no sense. (kcoff is definitely not DTM, i just like saying it).  Went to Trash with damian afterwards. (damian...
