I saw this on It’s a Rap and I had to check it out because I terribly miss double doubles and animal style fries. I just don’t understand why one can’t open up on the East Coast. Download Link

Derived from the word Prohibition, the downtown brands seeks to break the rules and think outside the box, describing its style as part street, part socialite.” Check out their spot at 152 Allen Street, NYC.

Thom Yorke and Flea?

Thom Yorke and Flea play the Orpheum Theatre, Los Angeles 04.10.09

Thom Yorke (Radiohead) and Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) come together and form a nameless temporary sub-group. Check out a show review from our friend Nick Peterson over at University of San Diego Student Radio.


9.27.09 2:53 AM: Receive text from Bryce Carr explaining Thom Yorke & Flea are starting a band and will play LA next Sunday
9:58 AM: Leave class discussion of how men ruined the world with misogynistic patriarchy to find nearest computer
10:03 AM: The Ticketmaster Queue wait escalates while I consider how my life would be if I missed the show, or the chance to ask Thom Yorke if the aliens told him about 2012 before it happens.

10:07 AM: Karma delivers me box seats (reportedly worth $3500 the day of the show)
——————————————————————————————————————-
Yesterday morning I woke up to find Pitchfork’s completed Top 200 albums of the 2000’s. In what only seemed fitting for the Morning After seeing Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Chili Pepper’s Flea unite in a musical union that was as equally intriguing as captivating, Kid A was declared the Top album of the decade.  Coming from a guy who’s second CD received as a gift was
Amnesiac (J-Lo’s On the 6 was #1, cuz of the cover), who spent at least 400 hours driving Washington backroads to the Greenwood’s anthems and who once passed Thom in an Oxford Park pathway (@!&#%!), I probably won’t ever be able to convey the satisfaction of last night. But alas, with some syntax and diction dancin I’ll try.

Thom and Flea were accompanied by R.E.M./Beck drummer Joey Waronker, Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich and percussionist Mauro Refosco. Now while I entirely respect and completely

New Chili Peppers Album on the Way

Monday, October 5th, 2009

RHCP1986

Rock RadioThe Red Hot Chili Peppers will end their two-year break on October 12, reports drummer Chad Smith.

Rolling Stone the funk-rock four piece are ready to get back in the game, and will convene for songwriting on October 12.He says: “I’m going back to playing with the Chili Peppers and I’ve no idea what it might sound like – which is exciting. It’s been two years and we’ll just get back together and play. This is my favourite part: the creative process. It’s the coolest part of making music and being in a band.

I have to say, I’m pretty excited for this album to drop. These guys have been around for 26 years and they still kill it. Their last album, Stadium Arcadium had hits like Snow, Dani California, Humpty Bumb, and Tell Me Baby to name a few.  Last month, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They are the definition of rock stars. More on this story as it unfolds.
