My Favorite Taco ~ The Gaslamp Killer

10:45 AM PDT on September 10, 2012

Willy Bensussen, AKA the Gaslamp Killer burst onto the LA scene with his trademark frenetic energy, wild but impeccable taste in records, and unique approach to heavy, heavy beats. Now a certified global phenomenon, GLK still holds down Low End Theory and represents LA worldwide wherever he goes. On September 18th, he will release his first full-length record Breakthrough on Brainfeeder records. The album is being hailed by critics and peers as something truly original and special, a unique trip through the mind of a madman.

But what we really wanted to know, is where does GLK get his tacos. So, Willy, what's your favorite taco?
