LA Playlist: DJANGO UNCHAINED Soundtrack
“Django Unchained” Originals (EXPLICIT) The Golden Globes have come and gone, and they proved infinitely entertaining (as my post yesterday pointed out). The Oscars are also approaching next month, but there’s one category in both award shows that I feel is woefully broken: Best Original Song. Gone are the days of “My Heart Will Go On”...
LA Playlist “Watch This Edition”
The Golden Globes were last week, and my oh my, was that an entertaining and eventful night! As of late, these shows have become kind of “meh,” but this year, the show elicited three “MUST SEE” videos. First and foremost, you’ve probably seen this bit already that Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig did when introducing...

“For now, let’s call her Cleopatra.” Eccentric musician Frank Ocean has had a tremendous surge in the last year. This is surprising because, as I wrote the other day about David Lynch’s music, Ocean is not exactly the norm. His biggest singles of the moment, “Thinking About You” and “Pyramids” (which he performed brilliantly on Saturday...

“I want to have a good day today.” David Lynch has returned to his unsettling music career in the six years since he’s made a film (2006′s underrated, horrific, Laura Dern-cry-face slog Inland Empire). Last year, he released the album Crazy Clown Time, which you can sample on his site DavidLynch.com, along with spooky mood pieces from Inland,...

“It’s grim. It’s grim.” That was what Aimee Mann said to Salon.com when asked to comment on the 2012 election. Actually, she was talking about her new album, Charmer, out since Tuesday, but all conversation nowadays is drawn inexorably down into the election drain. It’s a very honest, heartfelt, non-crazy read, and I strongly suggest you...
LA Playlist: Coppola Soundtracks
“egh, it’s hot outside! It’s HAAAHT!” Three good listens today, all Coppola soundtracks. Been feeling touchy and moody lately. It’s 90 degrees outside on a regular basis, and I just spent three hours getting a replacement air conditioning filter. Now it’s a struggling 83 degrees in the apartment. Be hot and moody with me: 1. “The...

Get pumped for all of the music that will soon be lodging itself on your mental Repeat button.

I want to talk about reputation. The new superhero fuckfest The Avengers is Hulk-smashing its way into your attention span this weekend whether you want it to or not. While reviews so far have been glowing, reviews of the music score have been less so. Behold, score and cover art font genericness! After listening to this,...
LA Playlist: “Good Morning, Little Schoolgirl”
For Spring Break, Michael and I drove the 15 hours from New York to Chicago, otherwise known as the “Reverse When Harry Met Sally Drive.” It is known as this only in my head. It was a beautiful drive through lots of Pennsylvania nothingness countryside, and in general, made me feel better about Earth’s...

Chiddy Bang – “Mind Your Manners” This is for us hipster-y white folk who really, really want to get into the hip hop but worry that it never had enough frosting. Hurry up and listen to the whole Breakfast album before they ruin it and put it behind every shitty 2012 comedy trailer. Youth Lagoon...

IT IS THE MINIATUR WUNDERLAND MIT OUT NAZIS! JAWHOL, WEEKENDERS! Hitler’s autobiography Mein Kampf (which I believe is German for “My LIFE, You Guys!”) is banned in Germany. Yes, the book that was common (required?) to be found on the mantel in every German household, next to Der Bible Wurds, will be confiscated from your hands...
LA Playlist: “Coachella Edition”
By Guest Writer P.C. Anderson Admit it: you’re a hipster about something. It might be a French-Canadian film fetish, a penchant for mid-’90s video games or perhaps you long for the days of the early seasons of Project Runway before Lifetime actually made it about fashion, but you devoutly care about particular cultural movements for...
