I’ve been listening to a lot of Broken Social Scene lately, having been turned on to them by an ex-co-worker and friend of mine. Art-tinged noise rock with really good vocals. Think Sonic Youth circa _EVOL_ or Dinosaur Jr. when Lou was still in the band. Check out the video for ‘Almost Crimes’.
Flew down to LA last Tuesday to go to the Sidekick 3 launch party. The scene was captured by the infamous cobrasnake and rife with B- and C-list celebs that you might see in gossip rags at your supermarket checkout aisle. I’m actually in one of the cobra photos — you can barely make me out, but yes, that is me carousing about with Paris, Mischa, Nicole and Coolio.
I went cuz we’re working on T-Mobile’s advertising campaign for the product. See the site here.
