If you think running a music festival is easy, you should talk to Frank Chandler. The Nateva Festival promoter dealt with all sorts of permit issues last summer and has
For my first ever Friday Mix Tape, I thought what better idea than to help unwind after a crazy week of work than a simplistic session of instrumental tunes? If
Chicago-based rockers Van Ghost makes a rare New York City appearance tomorrow night at Brooklyn Bowl for a late-night set featuring a different lineup than the usual VG setup. We’ve
For those of you who are longtime readers of Friday for the Foodies, you will recall that last August I took a trip out west to spend a week in Los Angeles. The food from that trip was covered in the the postings F4tF: Los Angeles Adventure, Pt. 1 – The Neville Brothers @ Hollywood Bowl, F4tF: Los Angeles Adventure, Pt. 2 – The Santa Monica Farmer’s Market and F4tF: Los Angeles Adventure, Pt. 3. Well the time has come again for me to take a well deserved vacation and I have decided to make a return trip to L.A. once again.
Last August’s trip included visits to Pizzeria Mozza, Fatburger, The LA Food Trucks, The Griddle Cafe, Santa Monica Farmer’s Market, LA Farmer’s Market, Animal, In-N-Out Burger, Neptune’s Net, La Salsa and more.
This year’s trip promises to be even better with meals planned at Son of a Gun (new seafood place from the guys who own Animal), Comme Ça, Sushi Zo, Totoraku (not yet confirmed, but very close), Pizzeria Mozza (again) and a few surprises that my L.A. Chef friends say they have cooked up for me. If you want to keep up with my daily dining exploits on this trip, follow me on Twitter.
I told a friend the other day, the only way I survive eating my way through Los Angeles is by doing 5 mile hikes of Runyon Canyon every morning (first hike is tomorrow, April 2nd) followed by Yoga in the Park at Runyon Canyon Park (which is free btw). During last year’s trip, I emailed a non-L.A. based Chef friend daily about my eating exploits and told him about the canyon hikes. After a few days of dining updates, I got the following message : “I can understand the Hill Climbing better with each email!”

We’ve been having a bit of fun around HT HQ this week at the expense of Marcus Lambkin, who goes by the pseudonym Shit Robot. The electronic musician and DJ,
Artists Den returns this weekend to PBS for a third season of concerts filmed at intimate venues that don’t usually hold rock shows. The first episode of the season features
There was a surprisingly wide spread of ages at Suzanne Vega's recent San Francisco show at the Palace of the Fine Arts, from children to seniors enjoying the two hour-long concert. She split the show into two main sets, followed by a three song encore. She covered the breadth of her catalogue, while also playing two songs from the forthcoming musical Carson McCullers Talks About Love, which she co-wrote with Spring Awakening sensation Duncan Sheik. Sadly, though, she omitted songs from her insanely undervalued third album Days of Open Hand. But, with a collection of songs so rich and compelling, it’s understandable.
Glide's Chris Calarco was able to catch up with Marc Brownstein, bass player for The Disco Biscuits and Conspirator when Conspirator played Portland, Oregon on Wednesday February 9th. After some BBQ Korean Tacos Calarco sat down with Marc, one of the most enthusiastic and accessible musicians you will ever meet.
