"the art of music" - an exhibition

the artists include So-Me the art director for Ed Banger Records (Justice, Uffie, DJ Mehdi, Mr Oizo, etc), Swiss Studio //DIY, death-metal influenced artist; French, Australian studio; Alter who designs for Modular (The Presets, The Avalanches), Sanghon Kim who has designed for everyone from the band; Air to brands; LaCoste and Hermes...to the Tate Modern Museum in London, Steven and John Harrington, P.A.M., La Boca, Museum Studio, Stefan Marx, Ryan Waller, Ill-Studio, Smal and Paze, Artus De Lavilléon, and Josh Petherick.

BaRock the House


If you're in LA and looking to have a Barack'n good time, be sure to check out BaRock the House, a benefit concert to raise money, encourage votes, and get people excited for Barack Obama. The event will feature five up-and-coming politically active bands: 80s synth-funk throwback Wallpaper; The Outline thoughtful electronic-alternative collective Oliver Future; startup indie-pop group White Arrow; and singer-songwriter Jeff Jastrow.

The concert was organized entirely by an '08 USC graduate and an '09 Trinity College student (and new friend to me....because a friend of a Lizzard is a friend indeed). Brav-obama, boys!

Mr. Brainwash in LA

(via Nylon) If you’re in LA this week, swing by the “Life is Beautiful” art show opening this week. It’s the first exhibit mounted by French filmmaker-cum-street artist Mr. Brainwash (aka MBW) and it’s going to be epic.

Held at the former CBS studio, it’ll showcase hundreds of MBW’s paintings, such as a life-size remake of Edward Hopper’s iconic painting “Nighthawks” and a bar coded “Mona Lisa,” tons of sculptures, a ridiculous installation made from 100,000 shoes, movie projectors, and other ridiculous forms of mayhem.

A la Warhol (who would have turned 80 years old earlier this month), MBW also finds inspiration from random pop cultural icons and takes them on an acid trip. The final pieces are warped into various crazy mediums, leaving the room for interpretation wide open.

Life is Beautiful - Opening Reception
WHEN: Wednesday June 18, 7-11pm

Exhibition Hours:
Thursday June 19, 1pm – 9pm
Friday June 20, 1pm – 9pm
Saturday June 21, 1pm – 9pm
Sunday June 22, 1pm – 5pm

WHERE: CBS Studios, Sunset and Gower, Hollywood
6121 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA
