After a long hiatus, Bastide – the restaurant next door – has reopened. Remodeled with the addition of an adorable bookstore boutique called “Assouline Publishing,” the formerly luxe eatery has reintroduced itself with a bit of accessibility. Plates range from $10 – $30 and the restaurant has taken on more of a cafe feel, but the food is still just as delicious. Check out LA Weekly for more info on Bastide’s reopening.

Try to spot the elusive ‘Ghost Man’ in these photos. Apparently this man makes a living painting himself (literally) into his surroundings – nobody knows who he is or even what his name is. Let us know if you have more info! Check out more photos here.

We’re really pleased to have Hart Boyd as our featured artist for the months of December and January. He describes his most recent work as being, “centered on the development of a photographic process which directly records the movement and application of light.”
If you’re in the area, please stop by for our opening on December 12th from 6-9. Partake in a little shopping, a glass of wine, and have a look at Hart’s beautiful, camera-less, photographs.

We were intrigued when we found out that the Black Keys were doing a hip-hop collaboration produced by Damon Dash and featuring underground MC heavy-hitters like RZA, Q-tip, and Mos Def. While we would call ourselves fans of both the indie blues duo as well as the various underground rap artists, it was hard to imagine the fuzing of the very different genres they represented.
The result: fantastic! We can’t stop listening to the album. The Black Keys provide the perfect bluesy backdrop laced with all the grit and soul so characteristic of the pair. Atop these instrumentals, the MCs provide a various range of lyrics – from the wistful ‘Why can’t I forget him’ to the shake-your-ass tune ft. Ludacris and ODB, ‘Coochie.’ Musically, neither the Black Keys nor the guest artists does too much in breaking new ground, but the collaboration itself is making waves. We hope it will inspire other unlikely collaborations of different genre artists.
