DJ Hedspin x DJ Pump (CANADA): As youths, DJ Hedspin's and DJ Pump's dreams of becoming world famous dj's were vivid and bold — they knew that posing in front of graffiti murals with headphones around their neck, holding a Technics 1200 and a Serato record, posing for a promo shot that would be used countless times on shitty flyers in countless shitty cities.

Paste Magazine raves of Deerhoof's new album, Vs Evil:

“Deerhoof never ceases to amaze. The band strikes a near-perfect balance between oddball accessibility and brazenly challenging their listeners to accept new and jarring sounds. The key word here is balance, between opposing forces: the past and the future, the human and the mechanical, the male and the female, the composed and the improvised, the crystalline and the obscured, the assonant and the dissonant.

GAME 57: Blazers (32-24) vs Los Angeles Lakers (39-19)
February 23, 7:30PM, KGW
Previous match-up(s): November 7 Blazers 96 Lakers 121

Steve Blake makes his triumphant return to the Rose Garden tonight as his Los Angeles Lakers face the Blazers for the second time this season. The Lakers are 39-19 right now, but are 6-6 over their last 12 and have had some locker room chemistry issues this season.

The Lakers trounced the Hawks last night 104-80. Unfortunately, Even though the Lakers are playing their second game in as many days, the only starter that played more than 26 minutes was Pau Gasol (he played 34). Considering the Lakers are one of the oldest teams in the league, this is still a huge advantage for the Blazers. Also factor in the 2 hour late night plane ride and we can expect the Lakers to be dragging a little tonight.

The Blazers are going to have trouble dealing with Read the rest of this entry »

Set in 1993 on the rocky shores of Ireland, the play centers on Padriac, a terrorist with an appetite for torture, and his best friend, a black cat named Wee Thomas. Read the rest of this entry »
