[Our first installment of coverage from FYF Fest … more to come:] As the half moon set over the downtown Los Angeles skyline on a crisp Saturday night and Austin’s Explosions in the Sky launched into their rapturous set, I thought to myself, “FYF is dead! FYF is dead! Long live FYF!” Sean Carlson’s DIY […]
A festival and other festivities: ‣ Hard to believe there’s a better bargain than this year’s FYF Fest (especially if you bought your tickets at the screamin’-cheap presale rate). If the involvement this year of über-promoter Goldenvoice eliminates or even alleviates the embarrassing logistical problems of the past two years, FYF 2011 could be a […]

Highlights from the project, “Claire Denis Film Scores 1996-2009,” are being staged in seven shows worldwide, and only two in the […]
If you’ve ever seen them at a festival, you know there’s no more aptly named rock band than Explosions in the Sky. The Texas quartet turns instrumental rock into something behemoth and epic, and just in time for a special southern California date – the just-announced show at Hollywood Forever Cemetery (tickets on sale Friday) […]
[Anybody else have a Michael Jackson hangover? Here’s an excellent obituary.] Today: The Vans Warped Tour [2008’s crowd, above] kicks off in Pomona. The past two years I live-blogged it and succeeded each time in finding something I liked. I’m passing on it this year, but it’s a pretty good bargain at under $35 a […]
