The Black Angels [Listen]
Local tripsters the Black Angels bring the aura of mid-1966 - the drilling guitars of early Velvet Underground shows, the raga inflections of late-show Fillmore jams, the acid-prayer stomp of Austin avatars the 13th Floor Elevators - everywhere they go, including the levitations on their second album, Directions to See a Ghost (Light in the Attic). Mid-Eighties echoes of Spacemen 3 and the Jesus and Mary Chain also roll through the scoured-guitar sustain and Alex Maas’ rocker-monk incantations. But he knows what time it is. “You say the Beatles stopped the war,” Maas sings in “Never/Ever.” “They might’ve helped to find a cure/But it’s not over.” Even so, this medicine works wonders. - Rolling Stone

Freewaves presents Hollywould
The 11th Freewaves media-arts festival, dubbed "Hollywould," is a kind of triple-dog dare to Tinseltown boulevardiers, challenging them to engage with the splashy, spiky world of avant-garde digital and performance art. The event sets down stakes everywhere from nightclubs (King King) to galleries (LACE) to the Roosevelt Hotel pool — with hookah and postcard stores and a host of outdoor walls and doorways in between. Freewaves' flood of screenings and events, meanwhile, breathes new life into the term "street culture" and finally turns the Walk of Fame into the mammoth sensory orgy it was destined to be.

Elevator Repair Service: The Sound and the Fury:
April Seventh, 1928
Redcat
If the idea of staging the first chapter of Faulkner's brooding Southern epic, The Sound and the Fury, in all its unabridged glory sounds completely ridiculous, then consider that Elevator Repair Service's repertory includes a gripping 6 1/2-hour reading of the entire text of The Great Gatsby. Although livening up Faulkner's disorienting text may seem difficult, ERS's polished slapstick — both low-tech and high — brings clarity to the streams of consciousness. Armed with a reputation as one of America's leading experimental-theatre ensembles, ERS delivers stylish performances with pinpoint precision.

In a world rife with indie film festivals (that's a good thing), this annual weekend juggernaut of alt-culture cinema, music, and art is refreshing because it shows you a different side of a familiar place, the always-unpredictable Venice Beach. From special screenings of reels by name-brand locals such as Catherine Hardwicke to scores of quickies and features by emerging talents, the weekend is short-attention-span heaven for any fan of moving pictures. And it's Venice, so you're never far from the beach scene, haute cuisine, and epic people-watching.

Echo Park Named One of Top 10 Great Neighborhoods
And when you hear that, you might find yourself asking which Realtor came up with that ranking. Luckily, this time there is some creditability behind the designation: the American Planning Association. They "singled out Echo Park because of its breathtaking topography set in the hills above downtown, historic architecture, pedestrian-oriented streets and stairways, and engaged residents who, over the years, have gone to great lengths to protect and preserve their community," according to an APA release (add: their website has more info and history on why EP was chosen) .... more after you click on the image!

Dear Friends and Family,
Just a small note to let you know that I am writing a tour blog for the next three months while I am traveling and playing with M83 throughout Europe and the US. The blog will be hosted by Kevin Bronson who was a senior music writer and editor for the LA Times. I am thrilled and honored that he asked me to do this. Should you have the time and the inclination to check it out, the link is as follows:

I hope this email finds you all healthy and happy, and hopefully i will see you while I'm on the road.
Lots of love,
