The Secret Headquarters – Or where to buy cool comics in L.A.

Sometimes I feel I must be the worst trends blogger ever so, in a new delivery of my truest sincerity here comes another chapter of ‘How do I love boycotting my own trends research, myself’: I have to confess that, even though it was named America’s hippest hipster neighborhood last year by Forbes I...

The night Mack Sennett Studios reopened its doors

After more than one year in L.A. I still feel like a newcomer; I guess it is a little bit complicated not to feel that way in such a big city, and that is why whenever somebody discovers something new to me I feel so grateful. Last Saturday I...

Introducing PLV Havoc

PLV Havoc says that the thing he searches for more than being labelled is to create excitement, to sow with his music a message that an audience can interpret as personal messages, and to serve only as a conductive tool. Now, leaving behind the folk music that took him by the hand in his...

This has been a long weekend. Not that it has lasted till today, actually only Monday was holiday in here but, anyway, it has been a long weekend. Long and scattered with little chained catastrophes that filled the days -one after another- till the moment you find yourself wondering when did the week happened...

Eat, Dance, Shop – The Ultimate Guide to Primavera Sound 2013

The other day one of my music-loving friends asked me which places I’d take Kevin Parker, leader of the band Tame Impala, if I were his guide during Primavera Sound. It was pretty clear that he wanted to test my knowledge of the city after living in Barcelona...

Juniper Ridge – The Mountains in a Bottle

I think the first time I saw something from Juniper Ridge might have been last year when I arrived to L.A. Some incense sticks on the supermarket caught my attention because the whole package and graphic image was too cool to be just ordinary incense sticks. Handmade drawings...

At the Getty Center, Saturdays Off the 405

Last Saturday we decided to go visiting Getty Center. Located on the top of a hill, the museum offers -besides great exhibitions and some really privileged views of the whole city of L.A.- free concerts in the open air once a month. The other day we could enjoy Danish-band Quadron playing, which turned out to...

Thick Knits and Blue Vintage for a Cozy Evening

Yes, trust me, sometimes in L.A. you do need a thick knit sweater, some other times you even need a scarf and sometimes -just a few times- you even need both of them together! The funny thing is, since this is an extraordinary phenomenon that only happens in rare occasions and never more than -I...

Ojai Rancho Inn – The coolest sleep in Ojai

Ojai Rancho Inn must be, by far, one of the coolest motels I have ever stayed in. A very relaxed, cozy and warm atmosphere wraps this motel, composed of little wooden cabins, in which we spent two nights when we went to Ojai for the weekend. It is located within a walking distance from...

Shoes keep it clean, sneakers get dirty – A party by Converse

I am of the opinion that a good pair of Converse are not really worth much unless you have demonstrated that they have been used at least a bit, and this is the reason I always give as to why they have become a symbol of the best concerts, and are presumably the most...

Nomadic Nature by Gianni Gagliardi

I met Gianni Gagliardi lots of years ago. I had not, actually, realized about it till I started writing this post but then I tried hard to remember and I think I can very accurately say it was eight years ago. It was his eighteenth birthday and by then he was just a shy...
