Check out...
Head on up to Angels Gate Gallery in San Pedro. There's a few exhibits on display worthy of your attention. If nothing else go grab yourself a free copy of the, "History of San Pedro Punk", by Marshall Astor and Angels Gate Cultural Center. It's a beautiful document that glimpses into just one of Los Angeles' many underground music scenes.

My Barbarian at HRLA
A couple weeks back I had the pleasure of not only viewing, but participating with My Barbarian during a recent performance at Human Resources.

As a side note: It's aways nice to learn how much of an ass you're willing to become when you have the spot light, or at least think that you have it.

Hot off the shelf...
Picked up a pair yesterday.
A slimmed down, reinforced mid top with a bit of extra style and class. With the reinforced upper and molded sole, I'll admit that they're definitely a bit stiff right out of the box. However, it's my own personal preference to go with a stiffer shoe that'll soften up over time, 'cause it just seems as though softer shoes wind up becoming something more akin to a worthless noodle shortly following the break in period (or would it be more appropriate to call it the break down period when it comes to such shoes). Then again, maybe that's preference for those outside myself. Who am I to say.
Digressions aside, the bottom line is, if your looking for a well designed, fashionable skate shoe, you may want to consider the Stage 4 from Vans.
I'll be reporting back in few weeks to give a follow up on their performance.....To be continued

Three Bands you need to see and hear.
Micheal Stock of KXLU's Part-Time Punks radio show (Thursdays 4-6pm), puts on an amazing venue every sunday night at the Echo. Last Sunday was a night of darkwave inspired bliss.

At the Getty
Hats off to the Getty, Carrie Mae Weems' exhibition puts the political back into the ambiguous nature of contemporary art. The exhibit closed last Sunday, but if you missed it, her series entitled, "From Here I Saw What Happened, and I Cried", can be linked here, and if that leaves you hungry for more check out her website.
...And if you missed the Weems exhibit, chances are that you missed the Lyonel Feininger exhibit as well. Feininger, an obscure experimental photographer associated with the Bauhaus, was also on display alongside a collection of photographs taken by various students and faculty associated with the school at the time.
Lyonel Feininger and the Bauhaus
While poking around for Bauhaus related images and links, I stumbled upon this gem of a photo, taken by Kevin Cummings.
