Last Saturday, we were excited to help The Hole NYC throw a pretty rad party to celebrate Art Contemporary Los Angeles. The party featured a performance by Kreayshawn and Young Hawaii Slim, and an art installation by New Image Art. There were also a few skate ramps, lots of dancing, and an airbrushed Alf T-shirt. Thanks to everyone involved—we had a great time! Check out more photos on Art from Behind.
SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS, a documentary focusing on the final LCD Soundsystem performance, makes us want to cry all over again. Come back, we miss you.

Our New Year's Resolution? Party till we puke! Start 2012 off right at the Making Time New Year's Eve HYPER-RAGER at Union Transfer (1026 Spring Garden) with Dave P. and Sammy Slice. See y'all next year!
Locally—and lovingly—referred to as MOFO, MONA FOMA, is a week-long festival held in Hobart every January featuring some of the world's most avant-garde performers. Curated by Brian Ritchie (one time bassist of the Violent Femmes and now a Hobart local), this year's lineup swings from Girl Talk to PJ Harvey, to Icelandic group Amiina to local Italian disco stallion Donny Benet. The festival is the offshoot of MONA, the most fascinating, perverted, beautiful, disgusting and magnificent museum in the southern hemisphere. - Nadia

This past Friday, we headed over to Grindcore House (1515 S. 4th) to catch Laura Marling's current solo tour (which is completely sold out, by the way) in support of her latest album, A Creature I Don't Know. The set was short but incredibly sweet, and included new songs, a few from the past, and a cover of Ryan Adam's "My Winding Wheel." Though it's been said a thousand times that 21-year-old Marling is wise beyond her years, it's not until you watch her perform that you really understand what that means. Her sweet voice combined with her honest and occasionally dark lyrics would lead you to believe she has lived multiple lives, and learned from each. We loved seeing her in such a small, intimate setting—and the vegan coffee was good, too.
Talking Mountain's video "High Five (My Friends Who Are Alive)" features a couple of instruments from The UO Music Shop, including a seriously sweet Moog Slim Phatty redesigned by singer Jason.
So after last weekend's Making Time Warehouse Halloween Party, Making Time is back to its usual haunts and roster of radness with the Drums and Wu Lyf at Voyeur on Saturday night. And you can use tonight to get psyched for tomorrow by tuning in to the November edition of Making Time RADio from 7-9 on 88.5 WXPN. Hyper-radness, indeed.
The Rapture is coming! No really, it is—Harold Camping, the guy who so confidently predicted the end of the world last May, has recalculated and now predicts that the world is ending tonight! So what better way to go out with a bang than by seeing The Rapture play at Making Time? PS- Just for the record, we don't actually believe that the world is ending tonight, we just like a good excuse to party.
Don't miss BNNA CLPS this Friday at Siagon Maxim Restaurant (612 Washington Ave.), because these CLPS are BNNAS! B-N-N-N-N-A-S!
We were stoked to learn that we were going to be in Athens at during Popfest. The lineup includes several local Athens bands that we're excited to check out, like Witches, Tunabunny, Bird Names, Easter Island (and we also want to catch Catnaps from our hometown of Philly). Perfect excuse to hit up the 40 Watt—multiple times.
Ugh, we hate missing a party! Especially one that looks like it was as much fun as this one!
This Friday's Making Time with Factory Floor, Anika and Dirty Beaches represents a year of Dave P. putting in work. Don't. Miss. Out.
A while back, Dave P and our friends at Making Time were all set to have an under-21 rager, and then this nasty little thing called a hurricane happened. So the soon-to-be-legendary Making Time Forever (under) 21 has been rescheduled for this weekend, and it's not to be missed. Bring your friends, acquaintances, classmates, crushes, BFFs, BFs, GFs, followers, Tweet it, FB it, Tumble it, blog it...whatever. Just come, ok?
After a month since the launch of the tour, with over 20 stops and 8,000 miles, the Levi's Bike Shop rolled into LA for another full weekend—all systems go. It was a non-stop fiesta.




Our Around The World Fall 2011 Collection launch last Friday was so much fun! The Stella Artois and Sofia Blanc de Blanc cans were flowing and the sweet snacks were flying off the table while hundreds of you showed up to help us celebrate the night.
