We’ve all had those days where everyone gets in the car, driving spot to spot, only to get kicked out, hurt, or just burnt, time and time again. But what goes up must come down, right? Somedays everything falls into place. Crisp weather and a crisper setup and you’re already feelin’ it… Days like these, though few and far between, are becoming more common place. The exchange of good energy at a session with all the homies is unbeatable. Peep Raymond and Tre killing it within minutes of eachother, this past weekend. And oh yeah! While you’re at it, checkout this edit by Ruben Reyes (here) of some of the madness that’s been happening lately.

SATURATE ME, RIVERSIDE.
Had a chance to cruise down to Saturation Fest 2012 this past weekend for a bit and snapped some photos. Handmade everything. Moral of the story? DO IT YOUR-FUCKIN-SELF.

I’m sure by now everyone’s read and seen just about everything there is to about The Coachella Music and Arts Festival 2012. 2 weekends, both sold out: It’s pretty obvious where Coachella lies within popular culture. Or should I say rises above popular culture standards. For a festival that, at bare minimum, costs you $320 ( if you decide not to sleep, eat or drink water) to sell out 2 weekends back to back in 105 degree heat… They’re doin’ more than one thing right. In addition to a lineup that draws festival goers from the furthest reaches of the globe: The art present, people attending and overall festival vibes make Coachella something worth every dollar spent. Here’s a handful of the photos taken by Bloody Gums in between sets, trips, water breaks and the like.
LA Riots Kendrick Lamar Childish Gambino Andrew Bird Santigold On site camp magazine 3 of the best dressed Coachella had to offer. This guy… This giant flower was a huge cherry picker that had 2 people hangin’ out in it all day. Art this crazy on such a large scale is humbling to be around. You can’t help but think about the amount of time put into these works from conception to presentation. Flying Lotus Amon Tobin Kaskade ASAP Rocky Master P (Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) Radiohead Justice ATDI Dre & Snoop Kurupt Kendrick Lamar & Dr. Dre Snoop & Wiz 50 Cent And finally, the 2 most recent rappers Dre brought back from the dead, Tupac and Eminem Ultimately, Coachella stands as a representative of what art can do for people. Coachella shows that we’re not alone. There’s people all around the world that live off of the energy that this art can bring. From the stage show to the visual art, everywhere you looked you were surrounded by hard work and creative passion making the experience that much better. Hats off to Goldenvoice for another awesome Coachella weekend. Til next time

Killing me softly…
This weekend The Brewery Arts Complex held it’s Biannual Art Walk. CBNC HeadQuarters lies within the complex and they held an exhibition as well as a reception on Saturday. With Monotone and Antirawker on the tables and a bucketful of Simpler Times… let the festivities begin
The exhibition showcased Toronto’s own “We Kill You”, a jack of all trades in a world of masters of none. Painter, sculptor, graphic designer.. you name it, WKY killed it.Titled “A Cry for Help in a World Gone Mad”, the show included furniture, multi media painting and printing, as well as some AMAZING watercolor and ink pieces…
The exhibit also showcased a collaboration between CBNC and WKY. For the past few weeks collaborative wheat pastes as well as hang tags have been popping up around the greater Los Angeles area that served as a glimpse of what was to come. They really went all out with this one, lemme tell ya. The shirt… (yes that’s a bear holding it) The collage also finds its way into a few of the pieces that were on display (and for sale… hint hint) including these multimedia paintings (below) and furniture including 2 chairs, an end table, and a larger coffee table (not pictured) This collaboration also marks the 16th toy that WKY has released and it’s apparent how well they do this.
Their rendition of CBNC’s Chubbs, each handmade piece comes with a skateboard and a detachable head that reveals the true nature of Chubbs… (in the land of We Kill You.) The toys will be available online and until then please checkout more of We Kill You’s stuff over on their website. Thanks to everyone who came out to the show, CBNC, and especially WE KILL YOU.
