Let's start with a quick surf story, Cali-style. And then an epic "Calypso" dancer intro... -We shout-out Greg Reveret, the composer who worked with Deadmau5 (@deadmau5) on the Where’s the Drop? album, after he connects with us on the Twitter machine. Thanks for the social love Greg. Such inspirational work dude btw!

I love how beaches come into the mix for her. @indiazi 1:23:25 - We head to the CNN building in Hollywood and catch them playing one of the best Boards of Canada tracks of all time over their exterior speakers, as immigration discussion rages on the TV in the middle of the night. @boardsofcanada @cnn 1:29:15 - Okay, back to Venice Beach to walk along the strand and hit up the skatepark. But the helicopters are circling, once again, up along Abbot Kinney Blvd., and we get the low-down on crime in action from some young skaters nearly caught up in the action. 1:32:33 - America Fuck Yeah! We head to a Fourth of July parade that actually kicked off with parachuters and a ridiculously emphatic USA chant in the Pacific Palisades. Hope you enjoy some of the on-the-spot audio and commentary we have to serve up like apple pie. 1:39:35 - I hopped on the bus and headed to Westwood in mid-afternoon. I bumped into Matthew Koehler (pictured), a 22-year-old from Missouri, and I randomly asked if he wanted to share some of his unique thoughts on his pad of yellow legal paper. I was pleasantly surprised by the result. Here’s how he describes the stream of consciousness poetry: “This is just a concept that I kinda tousled with in my astral imagination. It’s about the mechanics of movement, motion, intention, desire and how we marry all those together within our chakras.” Music: Logistics, Hybrid Minds @hybridminds, Optic Rose, Marcus Intalex @marcusintalex, Klangkarussel, Ivy Lab @ivylab, Guy J @guy-j, Dead Mans Chest @dead-mans-chest, M.F.S.
