Nosaj Thing, Allah-Las, Fools Gold & More To Play Free Summer Shows
We recently mentioned the summer music series that is being held at Levitt Pavilion in Pasadena, but the Levitt Pavilion in Macarthur Park (2230 W. 6th Street Los Angeles 90057) will have their own series of free shows. The line up has just been announced and will have some great performers taking the stage including Allah-Las, Nosaj Thing (pictured), Arabian Prince, Javelin, Tristen, Fools Gold, Bomba Estereo, Puro Instinct and many more. You can check out the full schedule of shows after the jump below. So many amazing shows going on in L.A. this summer my calendar is being overloaded!
There is something for everything in this series at Levitt Pavilion Macarthur Park. Even though these shows are completely free to attend and open to all ages, early arrival is strongly suggested if you want to get yourself a good viewing spot. Grab a blanket, pack up the cooler and spend a couple days at the park with some live music on the sunny grass.
Friendly reminder that this is just one week away! If you’d like to RSVP on the FB page, go for it. It’s filling up so make sure you get there on time if you want to see the gold (or more importantly, Wesley’s last night on earth). And may I give you one more reminder? My partners in slime over at LLL have been KILLING it this week. Peep this haul!

L.A.’s Best Dozen (Photos of) Donuts
According to the powers that be, National Donut Day is the first Friday of every June. Which is … checking the calendar here for a moment … oh, wow. It’s tomorrow! What joy! But that “national holiday” stuff is more for everyone else. Here in L.A., as evidenced by the abundance of donut shops on every street corner from Hollywood to Echo Park to Santa Monica — and yet, sigh, still no Dunkin’ Donuts — we love our sugar-infused fried dough. So to celebrate our national day of donut reckoning, here’s the best-looking dozen we can find.

We Need to Talk About the Sunset Strip Farmer’s Market
“Well, there goes the farmer’s market.”
That was the thought ringing through my mind when a news-blast announcing the June 14th debut of the upcoming “Thursday Night Farmer’s Market on The Sunset Strip” hit my inbox.
This ain’t your grandma’s farmer’s market, that’s for sure. Rows of produce sold in the morning haze of the sun, the only aural accompaniment coming from fellow passersby, local farmers, and perhaps the odd accordion or acoustic guitar playing softly in the distance? Forget it. This one’s from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. (making it a bit more like, a farmer’s market happy hour?) and takes place in the parking lot of the old Tower Records. Oh yeah, and it’s going to rock and/or roll!
“The new Sunset Strip Market is not your typical farmer’s market,” West Hollywood Mayor Jeffrey Prang is quoted in the press release. And that’s certainly true. In fact, the question is: Can this even be considered a real farmer’s market?
