With SXSW behind us we set off for LA. A short flight and nap had us energized for a Friday night in West Hollywood. We bounced from bar to bar before landing at Crane’s Hollywood Tavern. I wasn’t expecting much but when Little Bird (of Los Angeles) took the stage I realized the music scene in LA is for real.

The new Gorillaz album dropped yesterday and I’ve fallen in love with track 7, Empire Ants (Feat. Little Dragon). Have a listen and let me know what you think of the track and the new media player from LALA.

LALA is an online service that allows members to legally create online shareable “playlists”.

I can’t stop listening to Groove Armada’s new song. I can’t really recommend the album but this song is catchy.

While working on a side project I came across this WordPress plugin that makes sharing music relatively simple. Enjoy!
