August 12th was San Diego Film Festival's 35mm:Soundtrack event. It was surprisingly chill for such a swanky venue, the W Hotel's Beach..free Peroni's and popcorn ($5 donation to the San Diego Film Foundation), lounge chairs, sand in your toes, cabanas, and movie's projected onto a wall..oh yeah and one of my favorite musicians played..

The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego is proud to debut Human/Nature: Artists Respond to a Changing Planet, a unique collaborative art project with a specific goal to tangibly encourage proper care and appreciation for the natural world. A select group of relevant artists were commissioned to go work in eight unique environments across the globe and returned with work addressing global change and human interaction with their surroundings. The exhibition, which spans a variety of media, will be up at MCASD's Jacobs building downtown until February and, as always at all three locations, admission is free for those twenty-five and under.

The Music industry is in disarray. Popular services like Pandora and Muxtape are close to extermination by the panicking record labels. (Which in my opinion is idiotic, when all Pandora does is introduce people to more of the record label's product). Back to the point, one company may have a solution, or at least part of it.
Topspin Media is run by music industry veteran Ian Rogers. Ian toured with the Beastie Boys in the 90's, and ran Yahoo! Music for the first half of this decade. Their full platform of software has not been released, but they are previewing a bit of it with David Byrne's new project.

San Diego vintage-rock band The Donkeys have finished a new collection of tunes and this time they have a little help from Dead Oceans Records (Bowerbirds, Evangelicals, Dirty Projectors). Living on the Other Side will be released nationally on September 9th, but you can pick it up at the CD release party this Friday (8/22) at the Whistle Stop. Come celebrate the new record and give the boys a proper farewell before they hit the road.
