In Brief from the LA Weekly Files

Wednesday Night, I headed down to the Toy Factory Lofts with my friends Roo and Melissa to check out the new UK-centric piano night from Adam Unknown (Cute Phase). It's eclectic and fun. You can read more about it here. The post ends with a few Britpop videos I love and I'm encouraging everyone who reads the piece to leave their comments regarding the genre, including their recommendations.

In print (and online), you can read my profile of Chilean DJ/producer Dinky, who played her first ever LA show last night. I completed this story in precisely 24 hours, so it holds the record for my print pieces.

Indie 103.1 went off the air for good last night. Randall Roberts (one of my editors at the Weekly) and Lina Lecaro have updates.

And, also over on the play blog, Jeff Weiss has an interview with Samuel L. Jackson about Afro Samurai.
