Primavera Sound 2015 wraps up longest party of festival year
It’s around 3 a.m. on the Barcelona waterfront, and Karl Hyde of Underworld is jubilant. He’s singing and bopping across the Primavera Sound stage while tens of thousands of fans watch him wrap up a full-album performance of his group’s 1994 techno classic “dubnobasswithmyheadman.” Though he spent much of the set behind a wall of synths and samplers re-creating his album’s analog thump, right now his performance is all human, just shouting vocals with plenty of room to move.
On the last full night of Primavera, that’s just about how everyone felt.

The Forum Club
Built in 1967 with the intention of emulating the Roman relic that it’s named after, the Forum sports arena has become an icon in its own right in the city of Los Angeles. Located in Inglewood, a few miles east of Los Angeles International Airport, the Forum was constructed by Jack Kent Cooke, who wanted to bring an NHL team to LA but did not have permission to use the existing LA Memorial Sports Arena as a venue.
Once completed, the arena became home to the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA and the Kings of the NHL until 1999 when they both moved to the newly built Staples Center in downtown LA. The Lakers won five NBA titles at the Forum, where celebrities like Andy Garcia, Dyan Cannon, and Jack Nicholson could always be found courtside. The 18,000-seat venue hosted the 1984 Olympics for basketball and also accommodates tennis matches, boxing matches, and political rallies.

Staples Center Los Angeles
The Staples Center in Downtown, Los Angeles is a multi-purpose sports and entertainment complex that features everything from professional basketball to A-List concerts.
Opened in 1999, in what was then a fairly desolate and slightly dangerous part of Los Angeles, the arena holds around 19,000 people and is the official home to the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Kings, and Los Angeles Sparks.
As a concert venue, the arena has seen everyone from Beyoncé, U2, Prince, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Justin Bieber, Carrie Underwood, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Taylor Swift.
Other events at the Center have included The X Games, Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, WWE Summer Slam, the 2000 Democratic National Convention, world championship boxing, the Grammy’s, and the MTV Video Music Awards.
The Staples Center also features its own bar/club – typically reserved for the glitterati coming to the games and events. The arena itself is situated in an area of Downtown that’s across the street from LA Live, another entertainment complex with theaters, restaurants, bars, and ESPN’s west coast offices and production center.

'Hydrogen Jukebox' a timely illumination of the American experience
"Whatever really great poetry I wrote," Allen Ginsberg once said, "I was actually able to chant, to use my whole body, whereas in lesser poetry, I wasn't. I was talking."
Ginsberg would not have been the same world-changing poet without his inherent musicality. He made American poetry breathe physically and spiritually as it had never before. His ecstatic breath was such that it attracted the varied musical likes of Leonard Bernstein, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Patti Smith, the Clash and the Kronos Quartet. Director Robert Wilson and the late American composer Elodie Lauten are among those who created operas around Ginsberg's life and work. Ginsberg brought something valuable to them all.
But Philip Glass' "Hydrogen Jukebox," a 1990 collaboration with Ginsberg, did something even more valuable. The opera helped the poet himself breathe. And in a new production that opened Saturday night in San Pedro, Long Beach Opera has breathed valuable new life into a startlingly timely illumination of the American experience.
