PROTERNATIVE NATION: Don't call them Hipsters anymore
RSVP to FEVERThursdays@gmail.com for guestlist!
It's got many meanings, but as far as the Mixed Roots Film & Literary Festival is concerned, everyone is free to define their own version of "mixed roots." The festival brings together filmmakers, spoken-wordsmiths, and performance artists who address the racial, linguistic, sexual, and political implications of a hybrid heritage. The festival coincides with the national commemoration of Loving Day, the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision affirming the right of interracial couples to marry. – Shana Nys Dambrot
The Downtown Art Walk is a self-guided tour that showcases the many art exhibition venues in Downtown Los Angeles, from commercial art galleries to museums and non-profit arts venues.
Although Pedro Almodovar's work tends to hog the spotlight, more and more Spanish films continue to reach crossover status. This year's ongoing Recent Spanish Cinema series at the Egyptian Theater promises a group of Goya Award-winning filmmakers, actors, and cinematographers. The ten-day event opens with this year's Best Picture, Best Director, and Best New Actor winner, Solitary Fragments (La Soledad), a drama about two women affected by the Madrid terrorist bombings. Sonia Almarcha, one of the film's stars, appears after the screening for a Q&A. – Jessica Jardine

DAX RIGGS live tonight at Spaceland
Guitars both fuzzed-out and whining and the fast pace march of the rhythm section provided the backdrop for Riggs to fill every space in the song with plenty of hungry yeah’s and quivering vocal pitches as they poured numerous songs off their debut, We Sing of Only Blood or Love. The songs featured plenty of the darker themes — demons, death, graveyards — but very little love was audible, but it was done in an a very high-spirited, rock’n'roll kind of way. And, what rock show would be complete without some expression of political unrest. Riggs began “Radiation Blues” by saying, “This is for the war criminals that, you know, are still in power,” and then letting into the brashest of rock. A barrage of powerchords and intense drumming ringing in everyone’s ears was just what it took to get heads bobbing and joints bouncing. In one of the only encores of the festival thus far, Riggs and band offered a bit of Townes Van Zandt for the sun-soaked crowd. - Spin.com
Sub Pop stalwarts the Helio Sequence have always been masters of atmosphere, no stranger to the epic and echoed build-up. While the group stays grounded in pop songwriting, their music absorbs a demure and warm ambiance from soft keyboard textures, loose guitar lines and gentle but eerie, emotive vocals. Sounding polished and radiant on this title track from their upcoming fourth full-length, the Helio Sequence has perfected the art of rise and fall. - Spin.com

I'm trying hard not to sound like a shady Craigslist post... but I'm looking for any of the following for a Discovery Channel online show. It would involve a short interview, and the person would not have to necessarily show their face.
These are just some ideas. Others welcome too.
Spread the word!
