I typically avoid the show recommendation route, but Dam-Funk with Gaslamp Killer at the Natural History Museum tonight, looks like a safe bet. If you don’t know Dam-Funk, he’s the former MC Eight and Westside Connection keyboardist, turned DJ deity, turned Stones Throw recording artist. You might also know him as the guy who remixed Animal Collective’s “Summertime Clothes.”
My interview with him is up now at the Times. There will have to be a wholly separate talk where we discuss the making of “The Gangsta’, The Killa, and the Dope Dealer.”
