Animal Collective and Keep

Teaser video of the new collaborative project of Animal Collective and Keep; a Los Angeles based ethical shoes company. The collection; launched on March 26th, is in support of the Socorro Island Conservation Fund. Each member of Animal Collective designed a pair of shoes and produced a solo track to go on a limited number 4-track tape available with shoe orders. The tracks can also be downloaded even though it would be great to have the original tape! Deakin's track is doing it more for me than the others, althought I think they are all quite good and more or less what you would expect from each of them.

Cyrcle on LACMA

Found this video of Cyrcle hitting the Los Angeles County Museum of Arts on April Fools Day 2011. Thought it was pretty cool!

California

Los Angeles

Amoeba Music on the Sunset Boulevard is without a doubt the biggest record shop I've ever seen. I spent around 3 hours in there and only just about managed to have a look at the hip hop section. Have to go back.

On the Sunrise Strip... The famous Whisky-a-Go-Go bar and the Viper Room, also famous as the nightclub outside which River Phoenix died of an overdose...

Could Hollywood be any less glamorous?

Venice!!!

Venice Beach with the Graffiti Park and of course the Muscle Beach! Definitely a place worth visiting!

 

The surfers' beach...

...and the surfers, who are actually in Malibu.

...and these ladies, outside a hotel in Palms Springs going to a private pool party, where we weren't allowed in...
