Someone posted Sumerian Axe’s record By This Axe I Rule for download.

I know I keep posting about Grill ‘Em All but the dudes got interviewed by Tony from Municipal Waste and it’s way better than any of the other interviews they’ve done.

Spencer Owen has a mind for music that I will always envy; here’s his list of the top 45 records from 2000-2009. I’ve also been listening to him play “Letter Dance” and you probably should too.

As you may know, Carmichael Gallery is my favorite gallery in L.A. and they’re moving. For their last show in the La Brea space they’re showing the works of Mark Jenkins and Aakash Nihalani

Grant Purdum is one of my (very) understanding editors at TMT and does work for a host of other music publications which allows him to do some pretty cool stuff. For instance, he gets to participate in the Village Voice’s Pazz and Jop poll.

With the exception of this section this is an exact repost from Stereocache. Since I maintain it in addition to DD and my feeling haven’t changed I figured it was O.K. Sorry to anyone who visits both.

A video of Know Hope’s “The Times Won’t Save You”

The problem with Twitter is that the lag between my claims and the proof that I’m not a big liar. Maybe I could build a career of of twittering about doing some big name stuff everyday and parlaying that perception into actual big name stuff. I sincerely hope that whoever was behind @jamesfrnco got the real life recognition they deserved. That individual could ghost write for any number of wealthy individuals with time constraints, oversized fingers, or lack of imagination.

Today vindication comes in the form of a contribution to Arrested Motion. I was lucky enough to sit down with Adam Yekutieli aka Know Hope while he worked on some prints during his visit in Los Angeles for the “The Times Won’t Save You,” which I went on and on about everywhere I have a presence on the net. Or street corners. Or bar stools. You get the idea.

Editing this piece was an onerous task and, while it was certainly necessary, I hated seeing almost every line go. We killed one set of recorder batteries and had enough print material for a college dissertation. It was a pleasure to see Adam work and gain some insight into his work. Maybe someday I’ll figure out what to do with all the little tidbits of information that didn’t make it in. Until then, check out the interview here. I hope you enjoy it because I had a great time on my end.

Thanks to David, Seth, and especially Elisa at Carmichael Gallery for all their help and, of course, Adam for his attitude towards personal time.
