The Way to a Woman's Vote is Through Her Ovaries
There have been many studies about how men and women decide how to vote, and what influences them. Well! It's actually quite simple. I normally hate kids, but when I saw this photo—taken in Farmington Hills, Michigan—I suddenly wanted to have Obama's post-racial children. I can't even think right now! I just want to cast a million votes and populate the earth with beautiful mixed-race kiddies, because they are our future. This photo is like crack for ladies. - Gawker

MAN MAN / CRYSTAL ANTLERS / JONAH RAY
ECHOPLEX
Man Man [Listen] [Watch]
Part swampy juke joint brawlers, part smooth Philly warehouse doo-wop crooners, a sprinkling of wild-eyed, demon-haunted art hustler, and a hint of punky kindergarten playroom Pollyannas, Man Man bring their incomparable vision of “pop music” to bear with Rabbit Habits, their Anti- Records debut. Having honed their legendarily exuberant live show to hypothalamus-tickling perfection opening for such indie stalwarts as Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire and Cat Power, the band has captured the fiery spirit and essence of a Man Man show and etched it into 45 minutes of the most raucous, weirdly moving, spiritually uplifting music this side of Oppenheimer’s great beyond. Stand-out tracks such as “Top Drawer” and “Big Trouble” illustrate Man Man’s ability to provoke and inspire in a single instance.
Man Man’s power isn’t derived from the genres they stumble across, or the maniac light in their eyes, or the sweat pooling in their beards. It’s the unbearable sadness in their marrow and how they transform it, like the existentially distressed but heroically steadfast men men they are, into a terrible and lionhearted joy.” - Pitchfork
Step right up! The traveling Man Man circus is back in town. Yes, Honus Honus still bellows like a carnival barker over proggy sea shanties full of xylophone and brass, but fans of 2006's Six Demon Bag might be surprised by the band's subdued follow-up, Rabbit Habits. As cuts like "Whalebones" and "Poor Jackie" show, Man Man's teary waltzes and New Orleans dirges have grown more solemn than before. Long Beach's own Crystal Antlers open with a set of psyched-up noise jams worthy of similar revelry. – Stephen Gossett

Silverlake Gallery Alliance presents East of Eden
Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery
East of Eden will focus on contributions of Los Angeles galleries, the cultures from which they draw inspiration and the eastside of L.A. as an important source for contemporary art.
This will be a unique opportunity for patrons, collectors and the public to view and purchase exemplary new works by emerging and established artists who are indicative of the significant contemporary art being fostered in this region. While there is no over arching critical doctrine that unites them philosophically, all the participating galleries are representative of new generation of determining gallery culture and share in an inherent formative energy that has resulted in a significant strain of art in Los Angeles.
The event is free to the public and the Saturday night gala will be a multi gallery event with a portion of the art sales being donated to The MOCA Contemporaries, a volunteer fundraising support council of The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA). The three-day exhibition will also include guest curated project spaces, lectures and interactive workshops for children and adults. - MOCA
Celebrating Silverlake Gallery Alliance's commitment to the creative spirit of LA, a host of East Side art galleries, institutions, and alternative spaces set up shop in Hollywood's Barnsdall Art Park for an impressive collaborative effort. La Luz de Jesus, Junc, Thinkspace, Black Maria, and literally a dozen more present the work of East Side favorites and international art stars in an unprecedented one-stop art crawl. Come celebrate the art- and scene-makers whose multimedia eclecticism and cultural verve keep the town buzzing. – Ashley Tibbits

Dead Air Sundays 8-10
Travel Tips For Aztlan is broadcast every Saturday from 10pm to midnight on KPFK 90.7fm in Los Angeles and heard all over the world at http://www.kpfk.org/
Our new album "Vuelve Al Mar" will be available on iTunes, Amazon and most digital outlets on Sept 30 thanks to Neil and Origami Records! - www.myspace.com/traveltips
Check out our first review of the new record in this months copy of L.A. Record:
Wait.Think.Fast play quick ("Surface Streets," pushing a little seagull guitar that reminds me of Ride into an nervous "fearless/forward" chorus) or charming ("Clear Our Name" is absolutely radio-ready—takes off like someone's chasing it!) but find their best when they are deep and slow and sad, like "Heavy Water" (with singer Jacqueline most tenderly aflutter in all the heartbreaking places) or the stand-out "Cien Fuegos," a dream-pop song powered by a lonely little flame all its own. Mazzy Star melancholy and mechanics on much of this but you can feel a lot of other favorites that might be here, too: Johnny Marr and Neko Case and maybe Debbie Harry? Listener-scholars who knew how tiny parts have to align with big parts. Pinpoint production by Matthew Beighley and Jacqueline Santillan, picks out undiscovered nooks and knuckles for every listen on songs like "Heavy Water," where about five counterpointing ideas somehow sway into salutary balance, and time takes a cigarette before closer "Pajaros De Papel," an auld-lang-syne finish to an EP that already feels like an album. (Which will be coming real quick after this if the world does its math right.) People love those uncommon songs that get you feeling happy and sad both for the same four minutes; here waits a set you haven't heard yet. —Chris Ziegler

As always, thanks for your support.
Onward and Upward!

¡¡¡ MARK YOUR CALENDARS !!!
The acclaimed Luckman Jazz Orchestra, with conductor Charles Owens, honors the tenor saxophone virtuoso, Eddie Harris in this free outdoor concert on the Luckman Street of the Arts. Eddie Harris was a one-of-a-kind, nonconformist multi-instrumentalist whose career was branded by an immense appetite for experimentation. His nonconforming methods of outside improvisations, bizarre electronic effects, and cross-breeding of traditional instruments, set Harris apart in the Jazz world. He epitomized the purest expression of Jazz as musicians of this musical language freely express their ideas and feelings in a way not possible in other styles of music.

Monday Night Residency - DIOS (MALOS) / SONADORA / THE BIBLE CHILDREN / PEACHFUZZ @ Spaceland
Dios (Malos) Listen
Dios Malos have a sound as big and beautiful as you’re willing to let it be. Consider any one of their songs on its own, and you have a relatively simple concoction. Retro surf and sunshine pop are the basic templates — Dios (Malos) is a world where even heartbreak is rendered in primary colors and ornamented in glittering bells and cheerful whistles. A psychedelic haze floats over much of their work, but it’s a cheerful psychedelic haze.
For most artists, tackling such a variety of styles in one album would be overwhelming at best; at worst, it would invite the sort of stylistic excess that leads to anonymity. Through smart songcraft, a powerful command of pop vocabulary, and skillful track sequencing, Dios Malos deliver an album that expands and grows more complicated with every listen. “Epk” will help you to better appreciate “My Broken Bones”, which will in turn enhance “I Want it All”. As you learn to understand and decode the band’s songwriting decisions, your appreciation will grow that much deeper — and what seemed like simple, straightforward music will become increasingly engrossing.

Monday Night Residency Acoustic Night - DEATH TO ANDERS / SARAH NEGADARI (from Happy Hollows) / MAD GREGS @ Echo
Death to Anders [Listen]
While it’s up to the listener to decide whether or not Death to Anders’ new album, Fictitious Business, is a concept album — Danson says “maybe” — there’s no question that it’s an ambitious accomplishment both in songwriting and production that demands to be listened to in its entirety. A self-described “surreal and cryptic look at life in the 21st century,” the album takes listeners on an intense journey full of abrupt turns through beautiful and paranoid terrain marked by lush walls of sound, rollicking melodies, noisy swells and questioning lyrics. There’s a lot of variety within and between each of the 10 songs, but an ongoing narrative with repeating themes sews it all together. - Performer Mag
