Richie Hawtin

This interview with Richie Hawtin almost didn't happen.  In fact, I thought it wasn't going to happen until I got the email, raced to a landline and made the international call.  Then I raced to the computer, transcribed it and did the story.  Turned it in in less than 24 hours, a personal best.

Richie Hawtin for LA Weekly Play blog

This is going to be a crazy weekend.  Droog party tonight.  The Cure and Richie Hawtin tomorrow.  Interviews on Sunday for a story I'm so psyched to write, plus finishing up a piece for Razorcake.

Speaking of Razorcake, the new issue is out now.  I wrote about going to my first anime con. Kiyoshi Nakazawa of the zine Drunken Master did a fantastic job with the art work.  He even included elements of Full Metal Alchemist in it.

In other news, I'm working on a website to put together my clips in one easy-to-search area.  And I got a badass new computer, so sometime after I get used to using a laptop keypad, I'm going to learn to edit video.

Tis all for now.

Back from a Break

It wasn't intended, just had a month or so where there was a minimum of two stories due per week.

Here are some recent articles I have written.

A profile of Ellen Allien for the LA Weekly.

The Rozz Williams/LA Underground connection for the LA Weekly.

Modeselektor profile plus a sidebar on the underrepresentation of LA electronic acts at Coachella (again, for the Weekly). I'm particularly happy with the sidebar (and simply having the opportunity to cover that subject for the Weekly) because it's just something that needed to be said.

There will be field notes coming up soon.
