SPACELAND HAS LEFT THE BUILDING
After 17 years of calling 1717 Silverlake Blvd home, Spaceland Productions the indie promoters who’ve booked some of the earliest shows for Beck, Weezer, Elliott Smith, White Stripes, Silversun Pickups, Foo Fighters, Arcade Fire and others – will be leaving the Silverlake venue which has become synonymous with the club night. The venue will now operate under the moniker of The Satellite and will have in house booking. Spaceland will have shows in the room through March, 2011 including a Melvins residency, the Los Angeles debuts of UK acts Vaccines and Yuck, and a dual Monday night residency in January with The Fling and Bell Brigade.
“It just reached a point where it was time for us to move on,” says Mitchell Frank who started Spaceland as a weekly club night in 1993. “We’ve had some incredible musical moments here, people met, fell in love, started life-long friendships, but it’s just time for a change.”
Like the innovative music that Frank first booked, along with previous booker Jennifer Tefft and current bookers Liz Garo and Shannon Cornett, the prize has always been on what’s next. Frank, along with business partner Jeff Ellermeyer will open a new room for live music with a strong leaning towards dance nights and djs.
In the past years, Spaceland has branched out to booking street festivals, co-producing events with radio stations and curating regular series for the Getty Center and the Natural History Museum. And in addition to Club Spaceland, Frank opened two rooms in Echo Park, the 300 capacity Echo in 2001 and the 700 capacity Echoplex in 2007 – both being part of the revitalization of that neighborhood.
“Last year Avi Buffalo did a Tuesday night residency playing to maybe 60 people some nights,” says Frank, “Now, a little over a year later they’re headlining the Echoplex. It’s great to watch bands develop and have them be loyal to us and play our rooms as they grow.” As Spaceland leaves the building, the underlying philosophy remains the same: to support and nurture up and coming local talent and to always find what’s next.

And this looks like a rip in progress. I'm pretty sure he's working like a busy little bee coming up with his own objects to place around the frame. But after reading his content, I'm almost sure I have found my long lost twin. We seem to have the exact same interests.

RIP RIP WOODCHIP
Words and Music by John Williamson
What am I gonna do - what about the future?
Gotta draw the line without delay
Why shouldn't I get emotional - the bush is sacred
Ancient life will fade away
Over the hill they go, killing another mountain
Gotta fill the quota - can't go slow
Huge machinery wiping out the scenery
One big swipe like a shearer's blow
Rip rip woodchip - turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin, no news today
Nightmare, dreaming - can't you hear the screaming?
Chainsaw, eyesore - more decay
Remember the axemen knew their timber
Cared about the way they brought it down
Crosscut, blackbutt, tallowood and cedar
Build another bungalow - pioneer town
I am the bush and I am koala
We are one - go hand in hand
I am the bush like Banjo and Henry
It's in my blood - gonna make a stand
Rip rip woodchip - turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin, no news today
Nightmare, dreaming - can't you hear the screaming?
Chainsaw, eyesore - more decay
Rip rip woodchip - turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin - don't understand
Nightmare, dreaming - can't you hear the screaming?
Stirs my blood - gonna make a stand

I feel very sad today. What a waste.
Michael Jackson was a tortured, conflicted soul, but, as a musician myself, I knew he was also an amazing, BRILLIANT, DAZZLING talent. He brought me and my children hours and hours of joy, fun, dancing, and singing together.
It has been so sad to watch what his "handlers" were doing to him over the years. As someone on TV just said, "It's a tragedy that we all didn't take care of him better."
I suppose we all knew he wouldn't survive to a ripe old age, but he was only 50 and I keep thinking about the lifetime of music we all missed out on because of all the insanity around him.
RIP, Michael. The pain is gone.
I was completely amazed, and thrilled by your music, as I am again this morning.

With several out-of-town friends in the area for the day, they were asking me for spots that we could go check out after lunch. Since we were not too far away, I suggested that we check out what's left of Tilford Yard and the progress being made on the tear down. They were quite amazed at the sight of a classification yard in the process of being ripped up, while I, a big NC&St.L fan, couldn't help but feel a little sad from seeing what was originally called Hills Park Yard being ripped up, despite seeing it before & also knowing that it would never come back since the land had been sold back to the City of Atlanta, likely to become another shopping/luxury apartment area. Makes me wish that I made more effort to actually see it action when it was still in use. 6-7-18
