[PRETTY PICTURES] Loft Sessions With Amy

[PRETTY PICTURES] Loft Sessions With Amy

I met Amy in line at Starbucks. I asked her if she modeled, she said she did, and that she was looking to expand her portfolio. We exchanged numbers, stayed in touch, and weeks later she came down to the loft for a test shoot. Amy Loubris is 20, happily in love, and from Colorado....

[FOMO-GRAPHS & MINI CULT TALK] Bleached Gets Kissaulted At The Troubador

Bleached played the Troubador the other night for the final date of their national tour in support of their extra-excellent debut album Ride Your Heart, and in short,  it was the best (I am a talented and multifaceted writer). It could be argued that I am a tad bit biased, as lead singer Jennifer Clavin...

[FOMO-GRAPHS] Criminal Hygiene, Zig Zags, And Bad Antics At The Bootleg

I’m bad at show reviews (and also at hard-boiling eggs, but that’s neither here nor there) so I’ll just say that the first night of the Criminal Hygiene residency presented by Cultist and KXLU was a rousing success, if evidenced only by the fact that a higher-than-normal amount of people left their credit cards and...

[PRETTY PICTURES] Postcard From Australia

We’ve featured the work of Aussie-photographer Renee Carey on Cultist Zine before, after I fell in love with her use of light, and the tomboy-ish-yet-vulnerable spirit of a particular editorial she shot for Oyster Magazine. Following the post, Renee graciously reached out to me via email to thank me for my words about her photography,...

[LONELY HIGHWAYS] I Once Was Free Falling Through The Universe And Realized I Was Dead

In the park they sat and vomited strawberries until they went blind.  ”I am all you’ll ever need”         ♡ someone once told me that they wanted to fuck me in my face in order to get closer to my brain that person is a ghost now and you are taking too...

[LONELY HIGHWAYS] When I Die, Bury Me Inside The Cha Cha Lounge

I  went to the Cha Cha the other night to celebrate Bleached and their new record release. Kaya and I split a klonopin before which normally just makes me feel like my body is a cloud and I can sit for hours not thinking about a single thing. I did feel that way except when I...

[LONELY HIGHWAYS] DRINKING THE KOOL-AID

Hello!  This is Adi and Kaya.  We’re from Houston (Adi) and New York (Kaya) and we moved to Los Angeles four years ago to go to art school (CalArts). We met as roommates in the dorms and since then we’ve been living, traveling, collaborating, and partying together and now forever. We started a blog called Lonely...

[FOMO-GRAPHS] BURGERAMA II DAY 1

I could write a long-winded ode to how fun/awesome/wonderful Burgerama was, but I’m tired and lazy and all the lights are still really bright so instead here is a haiku: Burgerama two. Someone gave us a baby. Audacity rules. Here are some photos by Rachel Remz and Blaque Chris: Tijuana Panthers Fuzz Jessie from Bleached...

[FOMO-GRAPHS] The Altamont-Cultist-Blundertown-Sailor Jerry SXSW Showcase

  We NASCAR-ed a SXSW showcase with our friends from Altamont, Blundertown, and Sailor Jerry, and the result was a pretty good party I guess. Oh fuck it, humility isn’t my strong suit, it was the best party of the week (in a week that felt both like a whole year and like one long...

[FOMO-GRAPHS] White Lung, Nü Sensae, + Audacity at The Echo

When your favorite bands all play a show together it kind of feels like you get to to Souplantation but they have somehow added both the salad bars from Sizzler and Claim Jumper, thus making the ultimate buffet experience. (I exclusively deal in chain restaurant metaphors these days). On March 7th, White Lung, Nü Sensae,...

[PRETTY PICTURES] This Oyster Mag Editorial Gives Me Major Shaved Head Envy

If you know me (which you don’t in any real capacity, aside from my liberal ramblings on the internet), then you need no explanation as to why this is the best photoshoot ever. BUT, just because you need no explanation, doesn’t mean I won’t give you one, because that’s just the kind of sweet deal...
