last week and the week before i played records for ten thousands of hours for the crew working on a commercial photo shoot in culver city. the photographer was the mega talented thayer gowdy and the crew were hilarious, fun, people who would break into dance, send me weird notes and text messages, collectively sign along to random tracks, and head bang when i broke out the metal! i had a great time, looking forward to the next one! great to play some records that have been collecting dust in my studio and not worry about requests for a change...

i was never much of a janis joplin fan before i saw this video a few years ago which really opened my eyes to what a mega talent she was. i heard this song on the radio the other day and re-watched this episode... the performance from the amazing classic variety talk show old grey whistle test (highly recommended) is so powerful, & the interview (not on youtube) is great as well! if you don't get goose bumps in the last 30 seconds, seek professional help immediately... there is a serious imbalance in your system! WATCH THE WHOLE THING... (you are not THAT busy!) you will be very glad you did. (if not, refer to my medical advice above)

i'm in sma for a couple days and since max, jess & whit aren't here i shot some photos with my iphone it is really cool here! if any of you guys have been here and know where i should brunch tomorrow let me know! happy valentines!

we have the good fortune to be friends with some mega talented folks... if you ever need something awesome done, i know somebody.

max & margaux have a truly incredible gift and they took some time to share it with us recently. take a second to look at the rest of the images on max's blog, i'm sure you'll agree! all of these photos were taken on our block which makes it even more rad.

we were having some technical difficulties with flashdance radio (which means i had no time during the holidays!) but the signal is once again broadcasting loud and clear. in addition to the monthly rad influence series my monthly playlists will be coming to you every month once again. i have decided to make them downloads from now on because of much higher demand than i ever imagined, and the amount of waste the whole thing was producing. tell your mom, tell your pop, send the link to your long lost friend in paris, everyone needs some songs of love and hate to brighten their life. hugs. -MA
