bikini gold

♡ Fujiya & Miyagi ☆ UH! MP3 ☆ Toomy Disco ♡

BIKINI had a bunch of friends over for HARLOW GOLD at Harvelle's, the first bar on the West side - since 1931. now these dancers are supreme. their jaw dropping show brings you back to 1930s Berlin; nightlife at its finest! like Soho House, they have a strict no-photo policy, but my mobile has a mind of its own... if you must venture West of Vermont Avenue on a Thursday, shame on you for not spending an evening with the Harlow Gold vixens. i love these girls, and i'm especially proud to count some of them as close friends! they leave dust in my eyes:

GET SOME!

more pics from the recent past... Q Department launched The Directors Series in 2006. their first LA installment was curated by Fiora Sigismondi. to me, the highlight of the party was the luminous Angela McCluskey - my favourite Scot in the whole wide world! between taco trucks & dumpling trucks & grilled cheese trucks on the go, some grass-fed beef steaks & a little sushi sit down, i made it to a few other industry parties, same shit different nights... if you don't give a rat's ass about the pics below or whatever "industry" it is that brings us together, here's Lykke Li's vigorous new song... win:

soho house

SO(many)HO(es) in one spot... Q Department's sexy hoes, Flux's dandy hoes, Logan's darling hoes, Motion Theory's precious hoes, RSA's classy hoes and other crazy hoes... Soho Hoes have a strict no photo policy! such rules bring out the punk in me. a few friends & patrons gracefully indulged my mobile; this camera phone just has a mind of its own... anyhew, i could go on & on about the celebrities & celebutards i've seen in the sumptuous penthouse... Ridley Scott himself was the most recent. shit, the man ain't a hoe; he's a major Hollywood playa! i won't even go down the list of token recognizable actor types, cheesy agent types, overstimulated producer types, you know, the usual... on a somewhat edgier note, Flux supported The Church Of Pancakes, a curious installation by Andreas Nilsson whom i love as a person & admire as an artist... here we go:

celeBirthday

although Halloween is upon us, last night's party was in celebration of лиса катниц's birthday. guests came as celebrities. лиса was Angelyne! i bumped into Boy George, train-wreck Britney, Courtney Love, Adam Ant, Tina Turner, Rihanna, Kenny Powers, Human Nature's Madonna & more...

ONENESS

OH YOKO! I♡U...


GLOBAL ONENESS DAY

They say...
If all the people in China were to jump up and down at the same time,
the axis of the globe would shift.

Well, we are here together.
Billions of us.

Standing at the dawn of a new age
Determined to shift the axis of the world to health, peace and joy
By loving and caring for all lives on Earth.

Some of us are here physically,
Some are joining us in spirit.
Some of us are imprisoned, tortured, maimed and silenced,
But they are also here today with us.

Some of us have passed away
Before being able to enjoy a new age of love and peace.
But we are all here today standing together with hope.

It's Time For Action.
The Action is PEACE.

Spread the word.
Spread PEACE.

On Global Oneness Day, let's recognise that we are ONE.

i love you!

ROCKTOBER

my post YoGa life has been rich so far! last week's night time shows brought on even more splendor & soul! here's a patchwork of the super lo-fi mobile pics i took with video illustrations & songs by my top picks: CocoRosie, Lissie, Caribou, Glass Candy & Tom Tom Club... i love LA!!!
 

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

COCOROSIE at the Henry Fonda Music Box...

CocoRosie is a vocal duo comprised of sisters Bianca & Sierra Cassidy. Sierra became a singer songwriter & poet in New York when she decided to contact her estranged sister Bianca, who is classically trained & was studying opera in Paris. together, they veered into the unexpected creative enterprise of record making. on wednesday, they overcame the insular boundaries of their make-believe world to produce something spectacularly elegant & sonically intriguing. special mention goes to TEZ - human beatbox extraordinaire & total badass...

LISSIE at The Troubadour...

Californian transplant Lissie Maurus manages to belt out impassioned vocals with unparalleled strength! think country-tinged rock of late-60s, early-70s Laurel Canyon vibes, with a pinch of Fleetwood Mac. not wholly celestial, grounded as it is in spit and sawdust, but reaching for an emotional connect with the listener that few new artists can aim for without sounding forced. give the girl a second and she’ll steal your heart; give her another album and she will, quite possibly, become untouchable. GO LISSIE!

CARIBOU at the Henry Fonda Music Box...

dance music as if it's made out of water... Caribou’s live set is the perfect fusion of electronic and organic, with Snaith occasionally taking up duties as a second drummer during the hectic jam sessions, creating an lush wall of rhythm. the experience seamlessly goes from fuzzy, trippy & vast to wonky, wonderful & fun! Caribou sounds authentically retro and yet utterly contemporary at the same time. it’s simply impossible to fault Snaith and his crew when they play live.

GLASS CANDY downtown right after Caribou's Hollywood show...

♡ Glass Candy ☆ MISS BROADWAY MP3 ♡

Glass Candy’s live sets are decidedly more energetic than its more slumberous, drug-induced studio recordings, which is why i was grateful to get to the venue just as they took the stage... i hadn't seen them since this show a few years back, and it was really nice to catch their flavour of synth infused hippie disco to end the night...

TOM TOM CLUB at The Echoplex...

in 1981, during a break from their band Talking Heads, Chris Frantz & Tina Weymouth recorded the first Tom Tom Club record down in Nassau, Bahamas. creating a funky hybrid of dance, soul and reggae with a completely different sound from Talking Heads, it was their first gold album. the first single from that album, “Wordy Rappinghood,” was an international smash. the second single, “Genius Of Love,” was one of the very first hip hop hits and has been recorded and sampled by more than fifty different artists from Grand Master Flash to P Diddy, and Mariah Carey. Tom Tom Club has recorded six albums. the band has always been made up of great friends and family. Tina & Chris were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2002. this past sunday at the echoplex, they gave me a glimpse of what it was like at CBGB in the early 80s... RESPECT!
