"Green's often squirrelly songs are now filled out by swooning orchestrations of wistful pedal steel, soaring strings, and even some wily pan pipes. And though on previous albums, Green's ornate orchestrations often read as winking hipster re-imaginings of schmaltzy easy listening, the 70s radio that he and Campbell evoke here has a playlist that's part 60s hangover, part swaggering disco-funk, and part sax-fueled Bowie 'plastic soul.'" - Pitchfork

"The Presets are an electronic two piece from Sydney, Australia. The Presets have been one of the biggest indie bands for the past few years in the Sydney area touring and supporting many well known bands such as 2 Many DJ's, Ladytron, and Daft Punk." - last.fm

"Me and my partner at Jux have been huge fans of Dizzee, and thought the new record was so good that it needed to be released in North America. His music is raw and honest and fits right in with the type of artists we want to support. As big as he is overseas, he's never really had as much of a chance to get out there in the U.S., so the idea of touring with him is really exciting for me. Between the two of us it should be a pretty insane experience." - El

That time of discovery and of course the era in which Gonzalez was a teenager greatly impacted the making of "Saturdays = Youth." "On this record I wanted to have the feeling of a teenager mixed with this period of the Eighties," Gonzalez explains. If the doomy synthetic romance of his earlier work hinted at a fetish for Eighties goth staples such as Sisters of Mercy and The Cure , this album's chiming astro-pop finds Gonzalez taking a stroll on the sunnier side of the decade.

Developed in and across the languages of immersive and interactive video, contemporary performance/Butoh dance and experimental music/sound art, thirty seven isolated events reveals our daily complicity in remote-access war and the socio-economic violence of globalism. This new work seeks to challenge both audience and artist to recognize and respond to the violence of our daily lives.

Mates of State is the husband/wife duo of Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel. They quit their day jobs (teacher and cancer researcher) in 2001, got married, and hit the road bringing their love to the rest of the world. Mates of State has been described by critics as "unabashed joy," "honesty at its best," a "two piece with balls" and "a band you must see live."

His music is both, distinctly ambitious and refreshing. Following the House music of the 90s, he works thoroughly to create new sound structures. For a while, he has been using different types of percussion elements. The result is an enjoyable rhythm, which communicates with its audience in a very particular way.

With three nights of events featuring some of the best global talent the Bay has to offer, Carnival Fever has your after-party dialed in. The best part is, you don't even have to leave the Mission District to get your groove on.

If Labyrinth failed to convince you that Jim Henson (at some point or another) was taking copious amounts of psychedelic drugs, then The Dark Crystal will leave you without a doubt. It is the story of life on the planet Thra, where the dark crystal is kept. A thousand years ago the crystal was broken, and it separated one race into two different (but equally creepy-looking) creatures.

For three decades, Carnaval San Francisco has been a much-cherished occasion for many cultures to come together in one spirit: to share in the exhilaration and creative expression, the abundance of beauty and community, and the sheer joy and good times that makes Carnaval San Francisco such a rich experience and a spectacular sight to behold...

An event to celebrate the release of the new book No Wave. Flashing through the New York underground in the late 1970s, No Wave was the ultimate anti-movement. Its bands consisted of artists and poets untrained in music, looking to explode rock and disappear before the smoke cleared...

Screenings of Performance Art videos from Vito Acconci, William Wegman, and Lawrence Weiner. "Vito grew to despise his Italian heritage. He thought that Italians couldn't create good art. Eventually, he accepted his heritage, And went on with his life. He would later abandon poetry, for it had too many restrictions. He felt that the parameters were too constrained and rule-bound. He felt that performance art was free of boundaries, and could accept all expression in their raw forms."
