Earlier this month, I read a review of The New Eves album The New Eve Is Rising, which referenced The Slits and The Wicker Man, on Bandcamp and promptly bought the album based on my love of post-punk and the original 1973 The Wicker Man, which is the only version of the film that matters … Continue reading The New Eves, Confidence Man and More of What You Heard at Underground on 8/22/25

Earlier this month, Goths for Palestine, Volume II hit Bandcamp.
I’ve had Cerrone’s new version of “Supernature,” with Christine and the Queens on vocals, on my laptop since it came out last summer, but I’ve only played it out once before tonight. IDK why as it’s a really good, fresh version of a disco classic. Anyhow, I played it for the second time tonight because … Continue reading Cerrone, Christine and the Queens and More of What You Heard at Club Underground on Halloween
The last song at Underground last night was “Favourite” by Fontaines D.C. and, when I saw people singing along, I thought finally. Romance has been out for over a year now. It was my favorite album of 2024. It was a lot of people’s favorite album of last year. Both Larry and I have been … Continue reading “My Favourite for a Long Time”: Fontaines D.C. and Everything Else You Heard at Underground 10/10/25
Played a rock set at Harvard and Stone on Thursday night. It was a mix of music from, basically, the 1960s to today. Got everyone from The Stooges to Lambrini Girls in it. No, I didn’t get to see Lambrini Girls on Wednesday night, unfortunately. The videos I saw were pretty wild. I’m a little … Continue reading Amyl and the Sniffers, Lambrini Girls and More of What You Heard at Harvard & Stone on 10/02/25
Over the weekend, I realized that it’s been a few months since I made a mix, so this is a quick set with some dance tunes and some rock tunes. It’s mostly new music, but I threw in a couple oldies that fit my mood. There’s no real adherence to genre because that’s not how … Continue reading Beatique Mix, Sept. 2025 with Music from Gorillaz, Bob Vylan, Heaven 17 and more

It was an ordinary Sunday in Los Angeles. I heard one driver blasting Zapp while walking from the Metro station to Salt Box Records, another blasting Debbie Deb as I walked back. Second Street was packed with teenagers dressed in goth garb and anime gear and indie sleaze vintage with Labubus hanging off their bags. … Continue reading “Les Yeux de Laura” and More of What You Heard at Salt Box Sessions on 10/19/25
Trying to find something to do in Los Angeles this weekend? I know, it’s rough. I just spent too long combing through Instagram feeds and screencapping flyers that have yet to pop up on my feed. Still, there are places to go and bands to see. In fact, I’m a little surprised to see that … Continue reading Sextile, Wolf Alice and More Happening in L.A. 10/09 – 10/15
IDK how much I should explain here, but I’m just going to assume that we don’t have the same timeline and don’t hear all the same music in our scrolls. Confidence Man is an Australian dance-pop group with a weirdo KLF sensibility. If you go to my DJ gigs, you’ve probably heard “Angry Girl” many, … Continue reading Confidence Man and Jade “Gossip” + Everything Else You Heard at Club Underground on Friday, August 29
