1. Welcome 2. The Nice Penguins get nice.

1. That’s just about what it looks like now.

As always, I had a lot of fun. Hello to: Denkym (the singularity is upon us), Nice Penguins (love the piece), Mantron (you got some good ghost stories), Richard (V21 represent!), Lisa (thanks for the drinks!), Paul (my personal extension cord finder), and of course Peachies.

Till next time amigos.

Priscilla Ahn’s full length debut on Blue Note Records is hands down amazing. Priscilla’s innocent vocals combined with intelligent lyrics makes this an easy album to fall in love with.

FRA was lucky to see Priscilla live at The Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles few months back.

Free Tickets Available to the World Premiere of The Art of Failure: Chuck Connelly Not For Sale!!

Interview with Chuck Connelly

Young, handsome, and talented, painter Chuck Connelly seemed destined for the same art-world stardom as his 1980s gallery-mates Julian Schnabel and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Fan Martin Scorsese even used Connelly’s canvases (and close-ups of his furiously painting hands) to represent the work of Life Lesson’s tortured artist as played by Nick Nolte.

In an early expression of the troubles ahead, Connelly publicly dissed the movie, and soon, it was all downhill as Connelly’s career became mired in ego and alcoholism. While everything fell apart, Connelly continued to produce hundreds of vibrant paintings—and proclaim his genius.

I got an email about a new site and and the description had me curios-

“Loudvine.com was started for a very simple reason. OK, three reasons:

Discovering new music and artists
Discovering hard to find gigs around town
Discovering new friends, through great music”

Now if you’ve ever been in a band, you know this is good. Once you register, you have access to an incredible LA directory. That awesome, hole in the wall, genuine music lover, hang out venue that you don’t know about? Yep, it’s listed there. Amongst other things the site also has a list of all current/upcoming gigs in the area. It’s built like a social networking site so there’s plenty of opps to meet other bands and plan a show together.

Check out the site at: loudvine.com
