How To Play The Spoons in Ten Minutes
At different points in my life, I have played guitar, piano, bass, harp and the drums. I am horrible at all of these now (I have this terrible habit of not practicing), but the one “talent” I can claim is that I’m pretty good at the spoons. I don’t whip ‘em out often, but when I do, watch out! That said, here is a little tutorial taught by some random dude. Enjoy!

The Crowd (TH)
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Beach Boys Tribute + Benefit on Saturday night. The event was a huge success thanks to the kind support of the Los Angeles music community and together we raised $1517 for The Sweet Relief Musician’s Fund! Check out more pictures from the evening, by our lovely photographers India Brookover (IB), Taylor Herron (TH), Mike White (MW) and Jon Mackey (JM), after the jump. Videos from the event are coming Monday.
