Getting ready for NARM, looking forward to seeing many digital / music peeps next week. Should you make it to town early (or happen to live in LA), I recommend spending a weekend day downtown -- start your day with a trip to
Caine's Arcade, check out the Mike D-curated
Transmission: AV Club at MOCA Geffen, grab some lunch in the adjacent Japantown / Chinatown / Olvera Street areas (or a French Dip at Philippe), and wrap the day by firing some rounds at
LA Gun Club.
No kidding -- clear your head before the conference kicks in, and get some inspiration from outside your normal space.
Watch the 11-minute video for Caine's Arcade (above) and see how a good story and good storyTELLING garnered 3 million views and $200,000 in three weeks. Visit the arcade in real life to see the look of wonder on people's faces over something so simple, yet 100% honest.
Enjoy a great collection of modern a/v pop art brought together by a Beastie Boy (and lose your mind in the sun / moon room), or come out at night for shows by the likes of Santigold, Peanut Butter Wolf, James Murphy, Diplo, and Thom Yorke. Not a bad lineup, all free.
See you all at the Hyatt Regency next week.
Look for our new release playlists on Spotify every Tuesday from scottperryusa.
