So it's happened yet again. No Age, the duo I've raved about multiple times here, have come to Philly. And yet AGAIN it's been 21+. It sucks when this happens with just about any band, but there's a bit of irony in it happening with No Age. 
Oh well, have fun on the rest of your tour boys - maybe one day soon you'll play Philadelphia all ages. Ya know, the way you usually do back home.
Signing out

check out a grip of artists from november sixth till january twelfth in downtown. it's all ages and it's free, kiddies:
pick up issue 007 of [GOOD] magazine for a feature about predicting the future using game theory and fucked up discussion about downtown los angeles:
welcome to los angeles - with one of the country's most notorious slums sitting within spitting distance of new million-dollar lofts and five-star hotels, los angeles is using tough new policing to clean up its worst eyesore. for the children of skid row, though, it's business as usual--finding shelter, trying to stay out of trouble, and most of all, getting out.
so tickets are becoming scarce and pricey. buuut..
I HAVE TO SEE BJÖRK ON DECEMBER TWELFTH!!!

So, I've moved to Philly - and after being here just over a week, it's definitely going to be a permanent move.
So, sorry Los Angeles - I've left you for someone older. And although they may be smaller in size, they have just as much personality. I must bid you adieu.
I'll see for the holidays [Together As One!!!] and over the summer [Fuck Yeah!], but I'm not even sure how long that will last.... we'll eventually grow apart, and lose touch. Just, don't feel bad LA, it's not you - it's me. I wanted a city I didn't have to drive in. A city where public transit works, the parties were still crazy, the band were awesome - and even better, the DJs were actually good [sorry LA, in my opinion that's somewhere you're lacking].
Maybe I'll come back some day - but, probably not.

You've heard of a blue moon, but how about a red one?
Early Tuesday - if you've got insomnia or the inclination to be awake about 3:37 a.m. - you should be able to see a coppery red hue on a shaded moon.
One of the greatest lunar eclipses in years will begin just a few hours after midnight, and the West Coast will have one of the best seats in the global house.
"It's like nothing you'll see in the sky," said Ben Burress, a staff astronomer at Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland. "That alone makes it worth getting out of bed and taking a look."
This total lunar eclipse - a phenomenon that occurs only when the Earth finds its way directly between a full moon and the sun - will be especially long, lasting a little more than four hours. But the best viewing will be mid-eclipse, when the moon spends about 90 minutes entirely in the Earth's shadow.
Early Tuesday, the moon will gradually darken as the Earth's shadow falls upon it, but it won't appear completely black, said Andrew Fraknoi, chairman of the astronomy program at Foothill College. Light bent through the Earth's atmosphere will give the orb a dull brown or reddish glow. The exact color is determined by how dirty the atmosphere is - whether volcanoes have recently erupted and how much cloud cover, storm activity and human pollution there is, Fraknoi said.
On average, there is about one lunar eclipse a year, although some years have none and others as many as three. But most are only partial eclipses, and some are visible only from other parts of our planet.
"This will be a magical eclipse out your way," said Jim Garvin, chief scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. The view on the East Coast, he said, won't be nearly as spectacular, and only observers to the west of the Rocky Mountains will be treated to the entire event. The show won't be visible at all from Europe, Africa or western Asia.
Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are completely safe to watch. You don't need protective filters for your eyes, or even a telescope. But a pair of binoculars will certainly help magnify the view and make the red coloration brighter and easier to see.
If you miss this total lunar eclipse, you'll have to wait until Feb. 21 for another one. But the moon won't be covered for nearly as long. That eclipse, however, will have one big upside: It will take place in the evening, rather than during the wee hours of the morning, Burress said, "so that will be a little easier on the eyes."

[KAREN WALKER] is my favorite new zealand designer. ever. yeh, i used to live in auckland. and yeh, aucklanders' sense of fashion is a fuckload better than that of lost angels. she makes amazing clothes [not too sure where in LA you can cop them] and now also does eyewear. i read somewhere [i can't remember where] that her eyewear collection only hit los angeles stores semi-recently and it's pretty snazzy, yup.
better than all the rayban wayfarer wannabes:
i enjoy circlish shades. i wish i had the circle pollinis.. but these might do:
squares are nice:
so are rectangles:
i'm pretty happy about her using an arrow for the branding. genius:
