Friends and Music

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.

Look At This Frakking Geekster It’s like that other blog except actually good.

Nic Cage as Everyone Exactly what it sounds like.

While I wait for new Venture Bros. I’ve been reading Todd Alcott’s analyses of episodes past.

I’ve told people I was going to start looking into cyclocross. If you can’t laugh at yourself you shouldn’t have internet access. (video via BSNYC)

Kevin Marks gave a really interesting talk about the social theory and social media. If you have any interest in language you should check it out too because he pulls out some new terms to help describe what’s happening. New words are always fun.

Conversationalist is the next step for Twitter lists. The list updates itself daily to reflect who you’re talking to and about, providing your followers with more context for your own tweets.

Pranav Mistry’s TED talk is indeed thrilling. It’s also an incredible testament to hard work and vision. Would the phrase “paper computer” get you to click?

“It’s like Twitter. Except we charge people to use it.” This post made the rounds on Twitter a few days ago and would have had me rolling on the floor if I hadn’t already been lying in bed. I don’t want to give anything away but I’ll tell you that it has pie charts. Hilarious pie charts.

My friends Matt and Ryan are opening up what I think promises to be the best food truck in L.A. the history of music. It’s called the Grill Em All truck and this is what their art looks like.
This is my burger of choice. I think it’s street name will be the Dee Snider. Described as “smoked cheddar, marinated anaheim chilies, butter beer braised onions.”

They’ve been talking about doing this for a while and I know they’ve worked really hard on it. Congratulations on living the dream, and may the Eater LA mention be the first of many.
