Club UnderGAF
adorable bands edition
UPDATED 7/21
A while back, we took a DJing class and our teachers were these really cool cats who happen to run a weekly music event on Fridays at The Echo called Club Underground. CMYK made a trip out on Friday night and (despite getting in a bit late because SOMEONE (Shimosh) forgot their wallet at home) had a blast. The vibes are good, and the music is great. Sweater Girls won us over with their absolutely adorable indie pop sound.

Check out Club Underground every Friday night at The Echo, on Sunset. They'll keep you dancing all night with everything from M.I.A. to Daft Punk to Yelle to Dee-Lite to of course a healthy dose of Britpop. And with delicious $4 pizza slices from Two Boots actually served in the venue, you've got a winning combination!

DonGAF
"stupidest-post-ever" edition
Happy ONE YEAR DGAF-VERSARY. we've kept this blog going for a year already. wow. To celebrate, we want to share something very stupid and dear to us. That would be one of our good friends, Don.
Don was our DGAFriend of the year of '09 and things definitely would not have been so DGAF without him in '09 or '10. He often comes to events with us and there's never a dull moment between his witty commentary and his willingness to mess with the drunks and druggies. Not to mention this kid has major talent in the music production department. See this post for more deets.

Fun times with Nabil Linus and Don.

what even...
Don doesn't approve of such rude behaviour, Suz.
I think we already have a winner for DGAFriend 2010...
So for all the stupid times and stupid pictures, we salute you, Don. One year of DGAF and counting.

steppin' down
Nope, it's not Mixin' Monday yet. As a matter of fact, it's not Slacker Saturday or Sunday, or even Flakey Friday. We couldn't wait for the debut remix from Dreamcast (CMYK + Van Aerial). Our DGAFriend Van Aerial is 2 legit to quit.

PURPLE REIGN
Sorry this is a little late... but we here at DGAF spent our Memorial Day Sunday remembering how DGAF Prince was at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery... WAIT. HOLD ON. Before you start any vicious online rumors or frantically googling Prince to find out if he's part of one of the many celebrity casualties of 2010... as far as we know, Prince has NOT passed away. But he already has a legacy which is also alive and well... and what better way to celebrate that with a screening of Purple Rain!
If you've never seen Purple Rain, or if you've only seen it on a TV screen... in my opinion, there is only one way to see it, and that is a screening. It doesn't matter if it's at an independent theater (how we first saw it) or at an outdoor event like this; a big screen is the only way to capture its decadent glory. The vibe that a legion of Prince fans brings to it isn't too shabby either.
But what made this screening even better was the legit sound system!!! The performances alone make this movie, and hearing the classic songs blasting from big, professional speakers was nothing short of epic (and it made the cheesy dialogue funnier too!). I mean, this was the closest a lot of us will ever come to a Prince concert... and is the only consolation for those of us who had to miss his shows back in his heyday.
But make sure you show up super early to a Cinespia Hollywood Forever screening... it takes a bit to find street parking (which is free and well worth it) and also, Santa Monica Blvd. gets packed. We ended up waiting in line for about an hour as well, so we had to end up sitting at the back, which would have been ok if there weren't so many damn people standing up or walking around and blocking our view. Come on, people, didn't you come here to WATCH Purple Rain?
But how could this screening have been even MORE badass than it already was? An appearance by Dam Funk and Peanut Butter Wolf, of course!!! They were spinning all kinds of obscure and old skool Prince tracks before and after the movie. They really know their shit! We even joined in a little post-Purple Rain dance party.
Can any other movie screening be this DGAF? I don't know... you can't really top Purple Rain AND Stones Throw DJs.
