TONIGHT - SPECIAL AUDIO CHEESEBURGERS

Thu, 24 May 2012 20:38:39 -0400

audiocheeseburgers:

HOLY COW!

I’ve been asked to fill on the turntables at the Good Luck Bar, 1514 Hillhurst Ave in Los Feliz, for a special DJ set tonight. Nothing fancy for the occasion, just some chill music and some frosty drinks, as usual.

The playlist is packed with the standard AC tuneage:

Classic Fuzz Rock and British Invasion Cuts

Modern Electro-Fun Music

“Indie” Lo-Fi and Punk Rockers

And plenty of other assorted tracks

And if you missed last week’s ALL COVER SONGS set, I’m mixing those in as well. You have no excuse not to come on down.

Music begins at 10:00pm.

Still chill.
Still unpretentious.

2 friends of ours were stabbed at Montana and Echo Park last night. Please read.

Two friends of ours were out last night and were on their way home. On MONTANA and ECHO PARK they were approached by a man (possibly 2?) who is described as a gang member. He began yelling at them and calling them “faggots” and saying really awful homophobic slurs. (Neither are gay, but are straight allies, are vocal for gay rights, and wear rainbow patches and buttons on occasion.)

They were both stabbed and all of their stuff was stolen.

My friend Brian is a bike rider in LA and his bike is BLACK, has a predominate RAINBOW STICKER down the side of a tube, and it has a BIG, FAT SEAT. His back pack is orange and his helmet is grey. (He is sometimes known as BRAINZ LA)

Brian was stabbed in his stomach, right above his belly button. He is alive and discharged, as this luckily didn’t hit anything vital. Our other friend (name withheld) was stabbed in his hip, so hard, it fractured his pelvis. He is still recovering in the hospital.

IF ANYONE SAW THIS HAPPEN, OR SEES THIS BIKE (I’m getting pictures soon), PLEASE CONTACT RAMPART DIVISION AT 213-484-3400.

PLEASE REBLOG.

Pass the Salsa, L.A.

In Los Angeles, salsa is not just a condiment. Here, salsa is king. Spicy, hot, mild, pico de gallo, pineapple, double-roasted, corn, guacamole, red sauce, green sauce, black sauce, wild sauce, chipotle, mango… and on and on and on. There are more varieties of salsa within a stone throw’s of your apartment than there are stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. So today, on our designated day of celebration for National Salsa Month, we bring out salsa’s glory through all its incarnations.

See more salsas here.

Beverly Hills Hotel marks 100 years: Still billed as a discreet retreat for stars, the hotel is at the center of Hollywood’s concept of itself. And like the celebrities it serves, it has a public face and a private one.

Holy wow, these photos.

In regards to bootcamp...:

Guy emailed me and said that I should be more honest about my accomplishments I have made since I started:

I can now do 5-7 regular and 20 kneeling pushups at a time in a row. Any time you ask me. Right now? Sure. I can ACTUALLY drop and give you 20.
I can almost jump rope! Everyone else in class is really good at it. I’m pretty bad, I like doing it anyway.
I can run 440 meters without stopping and/or dying. This one took a while, but I feel the best about it.
Also, don’t be intimidated if you can’t do anything. When I started I couldn’t run to the corner, I couldn’t jump rope more than 2x in a row and the idea of doing a 3rd squat was death itself. Now I can do all of them!

So there y’all go. If you are interested in feeling awesome…think about it!
