Going on simultaneously, is the Learning Secret's party featuring Runaway(Brooklyn NY)at Beauty Bar($2 w/RSVP, $5 w/o), and the Culnsweet dance party at Black and Tan(free). Here's is the Learning Secrets flyer...
I absolutely love the design for all Learning Secrets and Lydia Reynold's flyers, so cool.
I think CulNsweet lost their crayons.
The design for this flyer for their monthly at Black and Tan is, eh, oookay...
I've seen pictures like that of the girl below on prior CulNsweet flyers. Who ever draws those pictures for them should do all their future flyers in my opinion. Anyways, this will be a pretty cool dance party...should be fung!
Well well well...I have nothing but positive things to say about Ian Orth's(of Learning Secrets), Paul Mahoney's(of LCD Soundsysetem), and Andy Butler's(of Hercules and Love Affair) deejay sets this last Saturday. It was a such a cool party and great to see a huge turn out. Lots of happy people busted out their fancy dance shoes to dig on the Saturday Night Disco groove considering...
So thirty years have passed since the mayham and disorder which occured at the Chicago White Sox's baseball park. Its crazy how much hate there was for the music and the culture of Disco here in the States, and how that negiative reaction aginst this gerne didn't even happen overseas. Although, Its awesome to see how Disco went underground and then "re-invented" its self through Chicago House and so forth. So you can't kill dance music, but dance music can kill you...
(Just kidding)
So, here is a video made by uLOVEi and pictures by me of the Learning Secrets 5yr anniversary shindig:
Parties this weekend: Freaky Friday is brought to you by Treasure Fingers! Let me see you move it shake it +cross+ the D.A.N.C.E floor for free if you RSVP.
Super Saturday is brought to you by Richard.Gear, Joshua Distance, and Computer Club(LA):
I also came across this Paul McCartney video for "Silly Love Songs" and you can't deny the 70's Disco influence in this song because of the strings and the orchestra sounding back up band:
This song and others makes me sad I'm not able to make it to this years Coachella which always seems to impress me with their simply fantastic lineup year after year. One year I will make it out to this music festival. Check out some of the lineup on this flier...
Nothing in life is free...except for this week. Its that time of the year when Emo's throws its annual Free Week. There is alot of things going on because Emo's has some company this year. The entire Red River District is exploding with shows all over the place, so much that I can't figure out much of whats going on cause there is just to much to digest. I'm just going with the flow and I'll see whatever comes my way. Transmission Entertainment is hosting events at four different clubs so you have options this year.

Okay, so not only is Free Week really breaking in the new year very nicely, but there are quite a few different things coming up this month. 101x radio station, which I dont listen to, is bringing some acts to the Parish. The acts are some pretty cool indie bands, Tapes 'n Tapes and Los Campesinos. 101x also just had a show at Emo's last month with the Ting Tings and Black Kids. I get the impression that they don't usually play this kinda of music, but maybe I should listen to station because I might be surprised(probably not).
I'm really really excited about this though; the Learning Secrets outfit is working with DFA recordsand Toyota to celebrate their 5th yr anniversary. Two parties will happen on sepearate weekends back to back. This is going to be the coolest things happening this month in my opinion, and I can't wait for the these free parties to happen. Juan Maclean will be DJing a week before the anniversary party which will have a member of the band Hercules and Love Affair DJing. I'm sure more surprises will blossom in the next couple of days or weeks.
