- This past Saturday night, RSFL darlings The Movies experienced some sort of internal, on-stage fuck-up and botched their show at Echo Curio. The event was to celebrate Seasons' John Huerta's birthday, and after birthday boy's band played a stellar set, The Movies took stage and things started to unravel. RSFL's own Brad Roberts was at the show, and witnessed that "The Movies couldn't get through one song before abandoning it and trying another...only to abandon that, too. It was sad and embarrassing, so I was on the sidewalk when their bass player stormed out and up the street." Let's just hope this was a one-time mishap fueled by excessive booze or some shit. Bounce back dudes! We lurve you to pieces!
- The Silversun Pickups (pictured right) are going to be on David Letterman tonight. Bright lights, late nights.
- If you haven't heard, the Knitting Factory's Hollywood location is closing up shop in October. Whatever. Their acoustics sucked anyway.
- Okay, this is ill. Thom Yorke and Bon Iver are contributing songs to the New Moon soundtrack! You know... New Moon of the Twilight series... with hella vampires... and Robert Pattinson... pretty much the biggest movie of 2008. They just made this movie even cooler (I didn't think it was possible either, but yes).
- Sunset Junction Street Fair 2009 schedule (or at least the lineup of headliners) is looking mad decent this year... this is less than a news bite, more of a reminder to block out that weekend or regret it. This year's lineup includes Conor Oberst, Built to Spill, Nico Stai, Chris Clark, and Islands.
- Pretty much every critic and hipster jizzed their pants over No Age's 2008 release Nouns. And now the local twosome is slated to release a follow up EP, titled Losing Feeling, in October. Jizz fest version 2.0? Only time will tell.
