MICE PARADE @ the Echo & Quick 6 Mix! 2007-06-08 13:46:00 Last Night's show was supposed to start at 8:30 @ the Echo. But the case wasn't the time nor venue. Due to serious technical/crapped systems & stuff not working, the show moved downstairs to Echoplex, begun around 10:30! The Echoplex is such a sweet venue and you can tell by the seating, larger stage, & the clean bathrooms! (unheard of). Here are some pic of the show.Kira Kira, Caroline, and Tom Brosseau opened with shorter sets w/ regards to time but Tom really rocked. Kira Kira played (played with) a lot of...things. Sounds like Mum + Sigur Ros. Mice Parade is an anagram of Adam Pierce, the band's lead. The set included the usual ensemble; Doug Scharin of HiM, vibraphonist Dylan Cristy of Dylan Group (who last night was also lead clapper), Caroline "filling" Kristín's vocals (who did her a short 4-5 song set as an opener), & I especially took note of Dan Lippel's awesome strumming. Adam also doubled & bounced with Doug on a 2nd drum kit for "Nights Wave" if I remember Read more:Quick

Emi Meyer, Nike+, and Weekend Rotation! 2007-03-30 11:44:00 Last Wednesday we saw singer/ songwriter Emi Meyer
perform at the Montmarte Lounge in Hollywood. I have never been before and for a club it was huge with tons of swankin' expensive modern furniture, lighting and 3 bars! The show was a multiple act with art show, but I think the event didn't match the venue. Emi has a 4 song Ep trio style with drums, bass and a 'live at the Hotel Cafe' CD with 14 solo tracks. Emi recently won 1st place in the Seattle-Kobe Jazz Vocalist competition and will be performing in a special concert in Kobe, Japan! Check out these two beautiful songs from her EPEmi Meyer - Sunrise and Magnolias Catch Emi at The Tangier in Hollywood on May 1st! Above: William flying with the Fullerton fairy! NIKE+ iPod College Tour is coming to Cal State Fullerton on April 9th, 11a-2p. Be on the lookout for a huge Nike+ Van and people running the campus course! More Rotation

In the News: Some goods and some Bads 2007-02-26 02:26:00 Mia and Greg Looking around. How creepy and cool is that? I think I could watch this all day. Seriously, I know what happens, but I can't stop watching it. BADs First: The Verizon wireless commercial where the guy says "dude you want to hear Fall Out Boy? It reall pumps me up" or something like that, and they purposely make him look like a big jock idiot. Why would anyone want to identify with him? Who watches that and sees themself? well perhaps many people I have ran into but the commercial sucks, and so does Fall Out Boy. James Cameron has made a documentry "Lost Tomb of Jesus" in which he tells some crazy story about how Jesus was buried and not resurrected, then he goes onto reveal that possibly Jesus and Mary had a child named Judah. I always thought James Cameron Sucked. But alas, whether he really believes all that or not isn't relevant. He knows, as well as the people at Discovery, that he is going to make a lot of money, and lots of people including those with fa Read more:goods
Case of the Mondays? Week 3 Mix is here! 2007-02-19 16:14:00 Happy President's Day, whatever that means! Yay America. Okay it is Washington's B-day, he's like super famous. Go $1 dollar bill! Educate yourself sucka. Some interesting things to note, The man who co-invented the TV remote, Robert Adler, died at age 93 from heart failure. Let's see, he help create the remote, won awards, contributed to culture and technology, I would say the failure in heart is non-existent. And!!! He died in Boise, Idaho. What a rad guy! As I was browsing through the Idaho Statesman website, I found an awesome quick 7 photo gallery. Each on sums up a feeling I've had. Take a look. In other News, XM and Sirius get serious (he..hehe).

2nd Annual Talent 1 Media Film Fest in Little Tokyo 2007-07-13 16:23:00 Talent1Media is the non-profit (503)c organization behind the 2nd Annual

We invited several organizations including ICare Community, World Vision, Oasis USA, LA Loves, LA Unity Coalition with it's members and JustOne. They were all a great resource for attendees to get involved in practical ways here in the U.S. and over seas. The festival was held at the George & Sakaye Aratani Theatre in the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center in Little Tokyo
, Los Angeles on July 7th. With over 600 in attendance, 9 Films, Free Appetizers & Refreshments, neat Lights (one of them splashing our logo on the theatre), 15 volunteers, our friend DJ Seanzerelli (spinnin' bossa to hiphop) and some well committed individuals, the festival was a success!
