All Tomorrow’s Parties (movie screening)
The Cinefamily – Los Angeles, CA
12/1/09

Ever wonder what summer camp with Nick Cave, Daniel Johnston and Iggy Pop would feel like? The kaleidoscopic All Tomorrow’s Parties is a headlong plunge into the transatlantic music festival of the same name, in which an out-of-season holiday camp on the coast of England is transmogrified into a swirling combination of cutting-edge music, crazy golf and chalet-living, all curated by a single band or artist. A riotous romp through the festival’s past several years, the film’s got live performances from a ridiculous amount of great bands both new and old →

EUREKA!
Walt Disney Concert Hall – Los Angeles, CA
11/21/09

Fearless iconoclasts, Kronos Quartet, performing a piece from award-winning film composer Thomas Newman. Visionary master of minimalism, Terry Riley. Brainy electronica assemblagists Matmos and Incubus’ psycho-musicologist, Mike Einziger.

The Dublab presents Secondhand Sureshots, a mini-documentary following four L.A. beatmakers and their crate-digging safari through the city’s thrift shops. Daedelus, Nobody, J-Rocc and Ras G browse for old records and pick out five pieces that they produce into fresh beats. The resulting effort is a DVD of the film and a 12-inch Picture Disc featuring artwork screen-printed by the folks at Hit+Run, who scoured over 500 gatefold LP covers for their new designs. Featuring over two hours of footage, music and bonus material, Secondhand Sureshots is an inspiring project that demonstrates the possibilities of creative recycling. →

This ambitious, highly faithful late-’40s Alice adaptation took years to complete, and features an abundance of impressive, meticulous and labor-intensive stop-motion work from pioneer puppeteer Lou Bunin. After a live-action prologue showing the historical inspirations for the major characters, Alice (a decidedly adult Carol Marsh) is quickly launched into surreal realms of design and color. →

Dublab’s Finely Orchestrated Tear Fest
The Hyperion Tavern – Silverlake, CA
11/15/09

We may not have the good grace of falling autumnal leaves in Los Angeles, but we can damn well start out this season with falling tears shared amongst friends.  Dublab resident DJs, Dntel and Frosty, curate a selection of pathos drenched sights and sounds to get the whole room reaching for that collective box of tissues.  During the last hallowed hour of the event, they will be shutting off the lights so the montage of sad film scenes can inundate the senses.  →

Year In The Kingdom unravels some kind of galactic wilderness. Tillman’s 6th album lyrically borders on mystic; proffering a transcendent union, an effortlessness. Strange and honest, this song cycle inhabits it’s own idea-scape; one seemingly obsessed with wrestling death. →
