This event has been CANCELLED! See official website for information.

Originally acknowledged for her fierce fashion sense and quirky stage presence (pre-Gaga, mind you. …Just sayin’.) M.I.A. now juggles a career as a Rockstar, dotting Mother, and political influencer; constantly bringing her ideas for positive global change to the forefront. Included within Time Magazine’s 2009 list of “World’s Most Influential People,” M.I.A. returns to the stage to do what she does best, Rock out! …While conveniently popping the cherry of the first HARD FEST LA. How inappropriate was that sentence? I liked it. M.I.A.’s 2010 national stage debut will be this Saturday, July 17th at the Los Angeles State Historic Park located in Downtown LA. The event is from 4pm-12am and tickets range between $50-$70 available online and at certain retail outlets (Complete list of dates and ticket outlets at HARDFEST.com). If you’re not close to The City of Angeles or are still using that whole “recession” thing as an excuse, A.) This is why you’re still a virgin. B.) You’re in luck as HARD FEST is streaming select artists from the LA and NYC event exclusively at redbullmusicacademyradio.com.

Hundreds out of jobs, animals sick and dying. Kim Kardashian was recently under intense fire from PETA for a photo she tweeted picking up a kitten by the excess skin on the back of it’s neck – yet their lack of anger towards BP and the heartbreaking photos of sea life drenched in black muck has received far less attention.

Nar Williams

Voted one of Wired.com’s “Top 150 Geeky Media People to Follow on Twitter,” Nar Williams has made quite the name for himself in the sci-fi and technology world.
