People taking the initiative is always welcome in a time where being bland leads to being cool. So, when someone puts out a product on a culture that’s in a creative limbo, we get to see its ups, downs, and all-arounds. With The Electro Wars, director and creatvor Stephen Vasquez wanted to capture the essence that is electro culture–from the skimpy skirts to the tightest jeans and the most distorted sounds humanly possible to manipulate. With an upcoming screening during the 2010 Winter Music Conference in Miami, Stephen took time to elaborate on his film and his origins of being a electro “warrior.”

Day 5 Part 1
12:03 pm
As the days go by, the tone of these wake up calls gradually got more and more stern. The accents on the other end are constantly changing, but the message is the same in any language: GET THE [expletive] OUTTA HERE!

Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, VHS or Beta has returned with a new release set to spark a dance-craze across the nation. Unlike previous releases like breakout record Night on Fire and the anthemic Bring on the Comet, the latest release Feel it When You Know is a self-released digital single bundle.

From Street Boners and TV Carnage:
Amanda Blank is a rapstress from Philadelphia with whom you may already be familiar. She raps with the mouth of a pirate hooker and she’s a class act in person. Amanda is hot, but not so hot that you’d be afraid to kick it to her at last call. Hearing her rap about all of the ways she’s going to let you hit it is empowering; it gives you confidence knowing that some girls are really WAY MORE into the weird shit than some men. So with this in mind, I took her to San Francisco’s Good Vibrations, a dildo shop. …MORE

After 32 years as General Manager of Santa Monica College’s public radio station KCRW-89.9 FM and www.KCRW.com, Ruth Seymour has announced that she is retiring at the end of February. Former URB editor and current KCRW music director and Morning Becomes Eclectic host Jason Bently had this to say:
Ruth Seymour has been our fearless leader at KCRW from the beginning, so of course today’s announcement was hard to comprehend. Ruth is one of those personalities that you seldom come across in life – a real original. She built the station over 32 years with a strong vision and an instinct for talent into the highly regarded beacon for music, news, and culture we are today.
