Moby, TCM, Shepard Fairey Fight Prop 8

With the 2010 elections a distant memory, one issue that has seemingly fallen out of public view is Prop 8, the anti-gay marriage act that passed in California on the same ballot that we elected the first black president (ironic). But the fight for marriage equality isn’t over, as even our man Obama has softened his stance on the issue by declaring part of DOMA unconstitutional.

Prop 8 itself is seemingly on it’s last leg. A Federal District Court judge ruled the act unconsitutional this past August, although the ruling is pending appeal.

Live Review: Dubfire @ Avalon in Hollywood (Video)

It’s the night before V-Day, and I am heading into Hollywood for a bangin’ Avaland (Avalon) party. A lover of club tracks that tell me to “drop it,” and “pop it,” I can’t deny my love for techno. At the top of the list to perform this night was none other than Ali Shirazinia aka Dubfire (member of Grammy Award-winning Deep Dish). With his departure for a solo career back in 2006, Dubfire has three in a half years of musical progression underneath his fingertips. Dubfire is internationally recognized for his pioneering in DJ technology, influential mixing, and award winning music. Knowing that Avalon provides music lovers with an open venue from 10 pm to 7 am, I had a gut feeling that Dubfire was not set to perform later into the night. My instinct payed off as I arrived late enough to miss the warm up deejays, but right on time to see Dubfire walk up to the platform.
