There's a giant (no pun intended) new Shepard Fairey and Blake E Marquis mural near the corner of La Brea and Melrose. Very cool, worth checking out if you have a chance. And speaking of Shepard Fairey, his show at Groundworks cafe in the Arts District downtown is in its last week. If you want to pick up some of Shepard's artwork now would be a good time.

Mute Records has signed Sweden's dark electro-pop duo the Knife for a US release, making the band's new album, Silent Shout, available stateside for the first time. The CD will appear on June 27 along with a 12-inch and CD EP featuring remixes from Shinedoe, Troy Pierce, and Get Physical's Williams. Silent Shout has earned praise for its acidic, goth-inclined songs and uneasy atmospheres from both The Wire and Pitchfork — which gave the album a coveted 8.6 rating. The duo's debut live performance at London's Scala sold out in a stiletto's flash. [thanks, Earplug]
