Andy Friedman & The Other Failures
Silverlake Lounge
CD Release
THE NEW YORKER: "Hard-tack country originals that bear the mark of a true artist."
NPR: "Not exactly one of those musicians you play while you’re paying your bills or cleaning the house. His songs demand that you sit down and listen to them, which is why he is such a hot live act.”
Ghettogloss & Allee Willis Present:

Ghettogloss & Allee Willis Present:
The Launch Party at Ghettogloss from:
6p-Midnight
The world premiere of the new music video, "Hey Jerrie!", by Grammy-winning, Emmy and Tony nominated songwriter/ artist/ world renown party impresario Allee Willis and Jerrie Thill, a 91 year old female drummer on an oxygen tank who's led her own all girl bands since being discovered by the Capone boys in the 1930's.
In the spirit of Jerry's oxygen tank..
We will have a OXYGEN BAR (compliments of 02 Bar) that will be serving fresh OXYGEN from 8p-10p. There will be cocktails and the video will be played throughout the night. Come and have a gas with us! - Ghettogloss
Allee Willis loves a project. Writing iconic American songs like "September" and "Boogie Wonderland" for Earth, Wind & Fire, and "The Neutron Dance" for Beverly Hills Cop, plus music for the recent Color Purple musical, isn't enough for this dynamo. She also collects and makes art, and produces online music videos for a series of eccentric collaborative undertakings. The latest of these unlikely partnerships is celebrated in a debut party at Ghettogloss, as Willis unveils Hey Jerrie! — an original song and video starring incomparable nonagenarian jazz drummer Jerrie Thill. Tonight's party fetes Thill's enduring sass and sparkle with music, video, and even an oxygen bar, in honor of the tank she uses behind the drums.

KCRW is concerned about surviving these critical times. NPR has had to cancel two daily news programs and lay-off 67 people - the largest in the network's history.
LA's commercial indie music station Indie 103 has just gone dark, unable to compete in today's corporate radio marketplace.
We need to protect Morning Edition and All Things Considered from further staff cuts. We must insure that we'll be able to send NPR the largest check from any Southern California station - almost 1.4 million dollars. NPR is more dependent than ever on these funds in this dire economic climate.
And we must see to it that emerging and independent artists will continue to have a home at KCRW.
But we can't do it without your help. Please join, renew, or make an additional donation now and give us the dollars to operate KCRW and support NPR. If you give $100 or more you'll receive the new KCRW carry-all bag for free, in additon to your premium. It folds up to fit in your pocket or purse.
Friday is your last chance to be automatically entered in all 3 Sweepstakes - a trip for two to Tahiti, a 10-Day luxury adventure in Australia, as well as the chance to win the new Jetta TDI Clean Diesel by Volkswagen.
Remember, it pays to subscribe to the station. With a current KCRW Fringe Benefits card you'll save 10-20 percent at nearly 1000 participating stores, restaurants and concert venues, including online vendors as well.
The financial downturn will eliminate many worthy non-profits. Those that remain standing will be there because their supporters sustained them through thick and thin.
Your commitment to KCRW and NPR is critical in these tough times.
Lean, mean and scared

Facing falling donations from foundations, corporations and individuals, nonprofit troupes are tightening their belts.
When Gilbert Cates tries to explain the hard times facing the Geffen Playhouse, he turns to an analogy from his long experience as a film director and producer of television shows, including the annual Academy Awards telecast. Whenever studio heads talk about cutting the budget for one of his movie projects, Cates compares it to trimming an airplane. (story continued after the jump)
Shrinking Music Videos:
More Thrills, Less 'Thriller'
By Neda Ulaby, NPR Music
Morning Edition, January 27, 2009 - The days of waiting patiently for a favorite music video to appear on MTV are long over, swallowed up by the instant gratification of the smaller screen. But as MySpace, iPhones and Youtube allow music videos to be seen anywhere and anytime, directors are discovering that viewing habits aren't the only things changing.
Music video director Sean Drake says part of the shift is an effort to capture the attention of an audience that never seems to stop multitasking.
"When I make a video, I just assume the majority of watchers are going to be on the Internet … IM-ing someone in a chat [while] … doing some other task on Word and checking their Facebook," says Drake.
So how does a music video director command the attention of the Internet viewers? One obvious trick is using flashy visuals. (story continued after the jump)
This was a really great listen...and now today, I can't get off their site. I might have to indulge in a little gift for myself...

Saving Folk History, One Recording At A Time
All Things Considered
Judy Hyman plays fiddle in a band called The Horse Flies. In her living room in Ithaca, N.Y., there's a pine-wood dresser right next to the couch. It's not for shirts and sweaters — this used dresser holds hundreds of precious cassette tapes, an archive of rare recordings that spans more than three decades. She recorded many of them herself; the rest were gifts from other musicians and collectors.

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!
