Mirror Lady - Hands are Tied While I happen to be premiering new music from Los Angeles, try this one on for size! A slow burning brush fire of a tune. You’re gonna love the build up as it catches flame to the slope and threatens all those ticky-tack houses in the hills. The band is TJ Petracca, Taylor Pile , and Sean Robinson , but the Mirror Lady “was born deep in the hills of Silverlake, CA with just her Casio Keyboard and a Cassette Deck.”American Athlete
This week the French label Hot Casa Records released an official re-issue of Joni Haastrup 's classic Afro-funk album Wake Up Your Mind . This was the Nigerian-born and now Oakland, Ca. based solo album, however not his only music contribution to the world. Before releasing his solo record back in 1978 off of the Afrodisia label, Haastrup was featured on many notable African-based records including Orlando Julius ' 1966 album Super Afro Soul , as well as playing guitar and keys in Ginger Baker 's African inspired group Ginger Baker's Air Force . During the mid seventies Haastrup led the Afro-funk/ Afrobeat band MonoMono , who released a couple of amazing records which have just been re-released by Tummy Touch and Soundway Records . Overall, the man once known as Nigeria's "Soul Brother Number One" has contributed quite a bit musically to the world, and his late seventies masterpiece Wake Up Your Mind is an absolute gem that helps capture the brilliance of this legendary artist.

Yes, you read that right. Lil B—the father of the #based hashtag, a “cultural icon,” and wonton soup connoisseur—will be speaking to us next month, live and in the flesh, on the stage of Kimmel’s Eisner and Lubin auditorium. There’s no mention of a musical performance of any kind, nor any hint as to what Lil B will be discussing (the website for the event is oddly vague), but it does note that this appearance is “rare.”

I remember when music came packaged as a commodity on vinyl discs, then plastic cassettes, then space-age compact discs… now it’s all MP3s on blogs and – wait, there it goes again. The now , it’s gone. The now of MP3 blogs died sometime back in 2007 or 2008, but you didn’t notice because nobody has yet grasped just what this micro-generation’s now now is…
