Local Natives Ritual Performance

Last night the Local Natives dazzled the audience at Walt Disney Concert Hall. They're performance was remarkable. The Los Angeles band played music from their album, "Gorilla Manor". The first half was played with a quartet and the second set was played with a full orchestra. It was incredible. Check out some of the video I made of the live performance.

Lily Allen looking Haute in London

Lily Allen was out last night in London at G-A-Y donning an ever-so-cute skimpy outfit. A bright baby blue one-piece and matching sheer stockings showed off her "ass"ets very well. Who wouldn't want to sail the high-seas with Lily?


Check out here new album "The Fear". I actually dig her new album cover. It's has a nice use of 3D type (in that retro stage set sort of way) and good sensibilities of scale. I'll have to check out the rest of the typography and package.

Check out my Sugar Lumps

Time to hustle for the truffle! New season of Flight of the Conchords is coming! Check out "Sugar Lumps".
