We probably looked about  the same as this girl when we walked into the opening of "Blow Your Head" on La Brea this past Wednesday night. The walls are currently burned with rapid fire pictures and video clips shot by music photographer Shane McCauley as he followed Diplo around the world for five years. Each quarter of the room shows scenes from a different destination--Brazil, Jamaica, New York, and South Africa--while a set from the selector slams whatever senses haven't t already been blasted by the images. It's running through October 6 at Sonos Studio, open Wednesdays through Sundays, noon to 6:00 P.M. at 145 N. La Brea Ave.

Meet The Underground Chorizero Making Handmade Zacatecas-Style Chorizo That’s ‘Too Spicy,’ According to Other Mexicans 

The chorizo is made with coarse ground pork butt, shoulder, and dried chiles. No adobo, paste, or nitrates are used for it compared to other chorizos that will add those elements for flavor and coloring. This emerging chorizo master is so proud of his Zacatecano roots that he even sources the string to tie the links from Zacatecas, too.
