SOULCLAP | SOULCLAP.US

Clap your hands, say soul! This dynamic DJing duo (Eli Goldstein and Charles Levine) is armed with turntables, mixers and the occasional horn section. These doctors of dope seek to do more than get the ladies grinding—their website features an ongoing blog to educate the everyman on the history and future of house. Study up.

 

PAPER THIN STAGES | FLYING HEARSE

Paper Thin Stages is like the sonic equivalent of Lincoln Logs. The three members build mansions of sound from the minimalist offerings of a guitar, percussion and a laptop. Their spaced-out ballads (sometimes lasting more than fifteen minutes) mount and grow in the like the classical musings of Steve Reich. What could become repetitious in unskilled hands is reinvented by this trio of innovators.

Attention Artists! Stop the Orphan Act!

By weeklydig on Mon, May 5, 2008 12:23 pm

Two bills were submitted to congress at the end of April — one to the House and one to the Senate — called the Orphan Works Act of 2008. Congress is looking to have this act passed and signed into law by George Bush by June 8, 2008, less than two months after it was introduced.

 

In a nutshell, this act may put many of you creative people in a tight spot when it comes to copyrighting your images and jeopardize long term royalties.

By christine on Fri, May 2, 2008 5:07 pm

i had no idea what i was getting myself into last saturday at the theatre offensive's annual benefit, climacts ... pop! the blindingly neon invitation could only guarantee great things, so together my friend and i succumbed to this subterranean world of glittery swathes of makeup, adonis gyrations, reaaaaally strong ketel one cosmos and excellent chandelier earrings spilling from the lobes of artistic director abe rybeck.


ROFL'n all over the place

By E.T. on Fri, Apr 25, 2008 4:42 pm

As we all know, ROFLCon is underway in all its amazingness. And apparently everyone else is just as excited as we are, including Wired, Los Angeles Times and even the friggin Guardian. If you're lucky enough to be attending, make sure to stop by and see us at our table. We've got (what we think are) the most awesome T-shirts ever.
