All Kinds of Awesomeness
The term “awesome” has become rather banal these days. It’s used for things such as seeing Charo in line in front of you at Whole Foods or your new jeans or that Thai restaurant on La Brea. But last night, I saw something that was truly awesome.

Every week Blake and readers just like him send me grainy, blurry, sometimes horribly-framed yet always interesting photos of life in Los Angeles as seen through the lenses of their trusted telephones. Every week, never fail. Join us now, won’t you, as we take a look at the latest offerings…From Blake’s Phone.
Believe it: This may be the longest week on record. Typically I cap myself but today I feel generous. Call it a change in the weather. Top billing is the famed burrito at El Tepeyac in Boyle Heights, which is so freaking big it’s delivered with a pie-serving utensil. Kudos to Ron who, we’re told, ate the whole thing:

After the jump: Submission instructions; more fun and games from tiny, incredibly shitty lenses housed in telephones citywide…

One night last month, John Vanderslice was kind enough to let our Sarah and her camera follow him and his guitar wandering around on La Brea, near Pink’s. This is her result of that encounter.
JV plays the Troubadour tonight.
The song “Kookaburra” comes from his new record, Emerald City. Beautiful 180 gram vinyl version available on September 18.
Film by Sarah. More by/about her here.

Last weekend I paid a visit to Chinito in Boyle Heights. After a brief, cerveza-fueled respite from the heat in his kitchen, we embarked upon a culinary and cultural mini-tour of sorts in the neighborhood with but one destination in mind: THE BUSIEST TACO TRUCK IN TOWN™. Read all about it after the jump…

You can get Thai Food anywhere in LA, but Palms Thai is the only place where you can watch Thai Elvis perform while eating your Pad See Ew Noodles. I recently sat down with Kevee Thongprecha a.k.a Thai Elvis for a Q&A after his nightly performance at Palms Thai.
Losanjealous: How long have you been singing at The Palms?
Thai Elvis: Six years. But I’ve been singing since 1957. I used to sing when I was in Bangkok.
LA: Did you do shows over there?
TE: Yes. I used to go back every ten years to do shows in August. It was always sold out. But I haven’t been back since 1991.
LA:What was the biggest audience you ever had?
TE: Silver Dollar, Las Vegas 1978.
LA: How many people were there?

Via StonesThrow:
For the week of June 10 to June 16, DJ/Stones Throw Records founder Peanut Butter Wolf will be spinning 7 different genres of music in 7 different clubs over the course of 7 consecutive nights, all in Los Angeles.…This 7-day tour will be a vinyl-only affair, with no record played twice.
I reminded myself about the Peanut Butter Wolf vs. LA event with an email. June 10th came out of nowhere and I had told myself I was going to shoot PB Wolf every night of the week for fun. Besides needing sufficient sleep for my day job, the biggest problem was money. After two back-to-back vacations and a couple substantial investments, I was living very light. $60 a week light. And we’re talking about going out every night in LA, which means parking, show charges, gas, maybe a brewski. Even in a best-case scenario, the odds were that I would go bust by Friday night. Here’s what happened.
Sunday, June 10th
Day 1
The first night was at Crane’s Tavern. I left around 9:00pm and street parking added another twenty minutes to my commute. I was hoping I didn’t miss the start of PB Wolf’s set, so I was relieved when I saw Diplo and Hollatronix spinning.

Thursday, May 24: Chanson
The line up for “A Night of Russian Chanson†at the Disney Concert Hall at first seemed a little awkward: Saul Williams, DeVotchKa, and Petra Haden, all sharing the same stage for the same general genre – spoken word intensity mashed with gypsy hysterics… However, with the delicious acoustics of the hall, each brought their own unique flavor to the night of Russian Chanson. »continue reading Shadow of Stalin: Two Nights at Disney Hall
