the BEAT of the week: The Jubilee.

I can't even believe it's already Memorial Day weekend. If it snuck up on you too, you still have a chance of making the most of it with tickets to this weekend's Jubilee -- formerly known as the Silver Lake Jubilee. Probably looking to expand beyond being a simple neighborhood fest, the event this year continues to boast a musical lineup of both big and local names (Aloe Blacc, Kinky, The Soft Pack, Autolux, Abe Vigoda, and so on) plus the usual L.A. fanfare of food trucks and an all-out block party. A two-day pass ($35) gets you a free tote bag or T-shirt (until supplies last, of course), and a one-day pass is only $20!

Time to kick off the summer.

The Jubilee is taking place this Saturday and Sunday at the Sunset Junction, located at 4000 Santa Monica Blvd. in Silver Lake. Get more info on the event here.

Check It. Aloe Blacc's "Femme Fatale" [The Monday Download].

You've probably heard the inescapably catchy "I Need a Dollar" by Aloe Blacc, but the L.A. based artist has also made a classy cover of The Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale" that's definitely worth listening to. And hey, the video has L.A. all over it -- can you recognize all the spots? The city has almost never been sexier.
