Creative Mornings

Creative Mornings feeds your brain and your belly!

So last week we attended Creative Mornings which is a lecture series for and by creative individuals. They start around 8:30 am and by 10 am you are out the door to go to work and/or conquer your dreams. I love attending events like this because I always leave feeling inspired and inspiration drives me to ACTION. […]

LA Woman Rising

Whether you’re a morning person or a night owl, at some point you gotta wake up and get started with your day.  Nana Agyapong took this simple idea and created an artistic documentary following 50 women in Los Angeles and their morning routine to show not only the diversity, but the similarities the dream-chasers share. […]

Last week we found ourselves at the opening of MOCA’s new exhibit “Transmission LA: AV Club” which demonstrates how the audio and visual worlds compliment and inform one another. Curated by Mike D from the Beastie Boys, the exhibit is far from your typical stuffy museum experience. He said he wanted to create what it […]

The Indie Ingredient in Kendrick’s ‘The Recipe’

Last week, Kendrick Lamar released the first single off his upcoming album and it feels reminiscent of the G-Funk era but excitingly new at the same time.

We celebrated the album that Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and Talib Kweli dropped in 1998 and has been getting steady play ever since. The substance behind the music never gets old and, unfortunately, we still haven’t fixed many of […]

Erykah Badu and the Cannabinoids

Last week, Arithmachic made it out to see the always incredible Erykah Badu at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles.  We’re no stranger to Ms. Badula Oblongata, but this tour felt extra special, thanks in large part to her latest project, The Cannabinoids. (Cannabinoids are receptors in the brain that allow you to feel the effects […]

Ice Cube & The Eames

Don’t judge a rapper by their album cover. If you did, you would have never guessed that Ice Cube used to study architectural drafting and is an admirer of the design power couple, Charles and Ray Eames. From architecture to photography, they did it all. Our personal favorite project of theirs is the IBM-sponsored museum […]
