Yellow Fever's Secondary Infections
Our superlative editorial assistant, Vickie Chang, published a thought-provoking article (Yellow Fever) on the fascination of some with Asian-American females. Unfortunately, it also functioned to provoke the thoughtless, whom she discusses in Your Fetish, My Life in the current issue. The internet message boards erupted with harsh criticism of the piece. On MensActivism.com (a "Men's Rights and Activism" website), "John" went further, comparing "Yellow Fever" to Mein Kampf (bringing the number

January 2, 2008Bitter:Sweet - The Remix Game
Music Editor Dave Segal is somehow able to mentally catalogue every CD that he comes across. I know this because on a regular basis I wheel my chair across massive distance of four feet to his desk, throw several adjectives at him and delight at whatever he suggests I listen to. Heart-wrenching blues? Bettye Lavette. Groovy, downtempo lounge? Wax Tailor. Never fails. Yesterday it was more of a dire necessity than usual. I was at my wits end and needed something good. Something soulful and ele
January 8, 2008What you missed over the weekend: Part X
Cobra Starship landed at the Pomona Glass House Friday night for the closest-to-OC leg of their "Really Really Ridiculously Good Looking Tour." Christopher Victorio caught the main act and support band Metro Station (but missed out on We The Kings and The Cab, also on tour with Cobra). The venue was packed, and some fans brought their Cobra Starship action figures along for the ride. Photos here. Saturday took OCW intern and Cal State Fulleron student Nate Jackson to the L.A. Convention Center
February 18, 2008What You Missed Over The Weekend Part XX
Friday night found Dave Segal attending the Good Foot at Que Sera to see DJ Nobody, Dennis Owens and Scott Weaver spinning world-class funk and soul. Then he had his mind blown by psych-rockers Magic Lantern and the Antarcticans at the Prospector Saturday. Meanwhile Rich Kane reviewed The Register and unfortunately, the review was unfavorable once again. Poor Register. It just keeps getting kicked while it's down. Speaking of kickin' it, Christopher Victorio attended KIIS FM's Wango Tango in Ir

November 27, 2008A Bad Week at the Weekly
Ordinarily, I keep pretty quiet about personnel matters at the Weekly. But the economic times we're living in are anything but ordinary. They're extraordinarily shitty, in fact. Which means that, all across the country, in all sorts of businesses (but especially the news business) extraordinarily shitty things are happening to good people.

American Apparel, the largest clothing manufacturer in the United States and the proud space-taker of the middle of the OC Weekly's back covers, has signed a 10-year lease on 70,000 square feet of space within the industrial property in Garden Grove shown here, Voit Commercial Brokerage announced today.

Long Beach was representing in a big way last night at Detroit Bar: Not only was it the final installment of the Free Moral Agents residency, FMA's opener was LB's Deep Sea Diver, fronted by Beck guitarist Jessica Dobson. Our very own Vickie Chang took some photos over there last night, why not take a look, yes? If you're hungry for more Deep Sea Diver action, check out this interview Chris Ziegler did for us with Dobson back in December.

June 17, 2009Sonic Youth Coming to the Fox Theater!
The recently reopened Fox Theater in Pomona (see Vickie Chang's article on the place) continues to impress. Not just from being an ultra-cool venue in terms of aesthetics, but also for bringing some great acts to our area-ish that you'd otherwise have to go to LA for (not that a trip to Pomona is usually much closer, depending on where you live, but still, less traffic!).Following last month's Wilco show, the Fox is hosting another legendary, iconic, add your own superlative here band--Sonic You

Hectus describes both bands, key parts of the Long Beach music scene, as "genuinely bummed to have to miss the event."But, as we all know by now, whenever gig God closes a door, he opens a window: in their place
August 19, 200912 Things I'll Always Remember About Street Scene '09
Beth StirnamanIt's Monday morning and another Street Scene is officially in the books. And while it's important to note that this parking lot extravaganza of fog-filled stages, oddly eclectic line-ups, mind-altering drugs and festival food has reached it's 25th year, it's also worth mentioning that I'm no longer a stranger to this two-day Coachella by the sea. Although for anyone that was there, the temps this weekend were actually fit for a desert, or maybe Satan's ass crack. But harsh heat
