Farmer's Market celebrates 75 years
"Seventy-five years ago, a dozen farmers pulled up into a lot at Fairfax and 3rd and began selling produce from the backs of their trucks. The spot caught on quickly, and by the end of the year, the start of today's Original Farmers Market was on the site.
The market is celebrating with a week's worth of events, starting with a party at 7 p.m. July 13, with music from the vintage rock 'n' roll band Once More. There's more music two nights later, both big band, with Dean Mora and His Orchestra, and karaoke.
At 8 a.m. July 16, the market has a ceremony planned under the clock tower to mark its birthday. Comedian Jeff Garlin is the host, the USC marching band is playing, and of course there will be a big birthday cake.
Those events are free."

Sarah Palin resignation
What the hell is she talking about? If you missed Palin's resignation ramble I mean speech check out the long winded 6+ minute video below. If you've seen it jump down to the diagram/humorous commentary from Deadspin's Tommy Craggs...
"Last Friday, Sarah Palin shrugged into her respectable Republican cloth coat and announced she was resigning from office. Along the way, she dropped a somewhat baffling basketball analogy, which we've helpfully diagrammed for you below, just as Palin described it.
First, here's the metaphor, from the text of her resignation speech:

First, here's the metaphor, from the text of her resignation speech:
Let me go back to a comfortable analogy for me - sports... basketball. I use it because you're naïve if you don't see the national full-court press picking away right now: A good point guard drives through a full court press, protecting the ball, keeping her eye on the basket... and she knows exactly when to pass the ball so that the team can WIN. And I'm doing that - keeping our eye on the ball that represents sound priorities - smaller government, energy independence, national security, freedom! And I know when it's time to pass the ball - for victory.All of which would look something like this:"

crystal antlers
[mp3]crystal antlers ::: a thousand eyes
"Beginning with doomy, lo-fi minor arpeggios, it soon explodes into a Latin-influenced rumble before the band piledrives into a swaggering psych hook, the track sounds something like if Comets on Fire inverted their ratio of chaos-to-craft."

real estate
Real Estate is probably one of my favorite relatively unknown bands. Their vibe feels effortless and leaves you with some pretty sweet breezy pop songs. Think late summer afternoon, post beach day, enjoying a couple 'adult beverages'.

[mp3] fanfarlo ::: i'm a pilot
It's an old school album opener, the kind of waltzing, slow-stomper (literally) that builds and builds... leading surely into what will be the (gentle) pop explosion of the following track.

Fool's Gold
PERFECT summer song...
Fool's Gold the band includes half of sunkissed LA group Foreign Born alongside former members of the Fall and We Are Scientists, among others. "Surprise Hotel" sounds like the name of a seedy seaside flophouse, where one could presumably hear this sort of shimmying Afro-pop wafting up from a stereo on the beach. (via: rcrdlbl)
