Fuck Monday

In honor of hating Monday, especially this one, I have compiled some things that will put the fire back in your loins. For those of you that aren't afraid of mathcore, here are a few tunes from the best in business, The Dillinger Escape Plan. Just like John Dillinger they focus on havoc and complex plots while dreaming up there tunes. This is not for the average music lover.....

Eyjafjallajokull

No its not a type of food or some new progressive/house/metal/rockabilly orgy. Its the name of that volcano that has brought the air-freight and international travel industry to it knees. In a tribute to the awesome beauty of mother nature I've decided to enlighten you about the Icelandic volcano so aptly named Eyjafjallajokull.



The volcano is situated in the southern portion of Iceland on one of Iceland's relatively smaller glaciers. The volcano has erupted with quite frequency since the end of the last glacial period, most recently from 1821 - 1823 and of course now. This is the second major eruption of the volcano this year, the first of which occurred in March of 2010 and the second in April. The April eruption was of a large magnitude and has received tons of press due to the international impact it has had. The most recent eruption was preceeded by nearly 3,000 earthquakes until the beast decided to open up on the 14th of April and spew lava and a subsequent column of ash nearly 3km into the atmosphere. Air travel disruptions began on the 15th of April in Northwest Europe and continue to have implications as far reaching as Asia.



If none of that was interesting to you then scope the pics and the heat up the dance floor with this ice melting beat. Because even though it may be toO cold to venture outside during most of the winter they still know how to party.

..... and remember JUST HANG IN THERE.....

AND THE WINNER IS.....

When rewinding this weekend thousands of amazing memories, people, and music come to mind. Coachella was certainly one for the record books and for all of those who couldn't make it, Sorry :(. To all the performers thank you. This wasn't a contest, but in my book there was a winner. Now I support dissenting opinions so choose for yourself but......... (drum roll please) "AND THE WINNER IS DEADMAU5". And here's why.....



HASTA 2011........

Desert Migration---Indio Bound

With Coachella getting kicked off tomorrow the city of Indio is preparing itself for an influx of hipsters, hippies, and hollywood stars and starlets. You should be preparing yourself as well. Grab the sunblock, your most minimalist swim gear, and figure out who it is you want to see at this all encompassing desert music fest. From hardcore metal to hardcore house there's something for everybody. Here's a few that I think are must sees.


Devo - They don't play that often and the only other way to time travel to the 80's is Quaaludes and those are even harder to find then a Devo concert.




Calle 13- For those of you who need a hip-hop/reggaeton fix this guy will get you hooked. Not only does he talk the talk he most certainly walks the walk. But don't be fooled this is no Daddy Yankee, he brings everything you'd expect from Latin music to the table.




Dillinger Escape Plan- If you need some mathcore and seizure inducing lights stop by and check these Jersey boy's out.




Deadmau5- If bass and progressive house is what makes you wet don't miss this guy. He will surely not disappoint.





Benny Benassi- For some sexy Italian house music do not miss Benny Benassi, if your flyin' high he'll surely keep you there. MMMMM Finger Food




Major Lazer(Diplo and Switch)- For some dancehall and hip hop remixes straight from the island (even though they are 2 white boys), Major Lazer will deliver. Remember "Guns don't kill people, lazers due.




2Many DJ's - Better then Belgium waffels these guys will get you goin with their Electronica / Electro / Pop Punk sounds.

Broachella

So Coachella is only a week away so start preparing, stock up on party supplies and give your kidneys and liver a rest. More to come in music and reviews. Cuz there's way too many great groups playing to see them all.

Synth Lords

The name says it all. Nuff Said

Autokratz

In anticipation of the Autokratz show tomorrow at the Avalon (Hollywood) I felt it was only right to get the DL on the Brits who have come to fuck our ear pussies with the bass heavy tunes that make shaking your junk irresistible. Autokratz are a London based duo comprised of David Cox and Russell Crank. They are currently on the French based label Kitsuné. In 2008 they realeased their debut mini-album Down & Out In Paris & London. There first full length album, Animal, was realeased in June 2009. After making a stop in Denver tonight they will be arriving in Hollywood at the Avalon to show LA how they do things across the pond. Here's a little video to pump you up. For TICKETS

Health Care Reform: Fact Check

Myself being a huge supporter of health care reform I wouldn't say that this bill is the end or the best. But all that aside I have become increasingly irritated with the verbal diarrhea that flows freely from the bong holes of politicians on both sides of the aisle. Thank god there's someone out there that fact checks these people POLITIFACT. Unfortunately most people could care less. And if you really wanna know what your talking about sit down and read through the two thousand plus pages of HR3962. Then you can be satisfied in knowing that you are more knowledgeable about health care reform then any senator or congressmen in Washington.

Fuck the Man

If fighting the establishment and starting your own Anarchist society is what you have always dreamed of there are a few essential things you must know and thankfully some hippie in the 70's figured it all out for you while doing a bid in the slammer. Only downside is, technology has changed and corporations have gotten wise to these freeloading hippie tactics. Nonetheless this will surely stoke the rebellious fire within you. STEAL THIS BOOK
