“Let’s All Stay Home” by V. Vale, with Marian WallaceAt the start of this lockdown, V. Vale—longtime exhibitor and punk publishing legend of Re/Search Search and Destroy—wrote a few funny, heartwarming songs about the pandemic and shared them on Bandcamp. We’ve created a special sing-along version of “Let’s All Stay Home,” performed by Marian Wallace and written by V. Vale. Share your karaoke/covers with us via email, or by tagging #laabf2020online or @printedmatter_artbookfairs on Instagram. You can listen to more songs by Vale at researchpubs.bandcamp.com.
dublab, an LA-based non-profit community radio station, originally partnered with Printed Matter to organize a series of musical acts for LAABF’s Opening Night. In place of these performances, mmarz and Maral + Annapurna have put together two new mixes to share online.
Maral and Annapurna present a collaborative audio-video mix that draws inspiration from their respective Iranian and Indian cultural backgrounds, as well as their overarching musical influences. This mix includes 3 unreleased tracks and some favorites from Maral’s recent mixtape release. You can also listen to audio only through the Printed Matter Mixcloud. ︎
Los Angeles-based music collective mmarz is proud to present an exclusive mixtape for Printed Matter, to provide escape during turbulent times. By turns joyful and contemplative, this mix features a globe-trotting blend of downtempo, jazz fusion, ambient and electronic — selected by mmarz’s residents: Max Salty, Ruling Planet, Saffron, Radha and Zach. If you enjoy the diversity of sounds here, check out their website at mmarzmix.com for a whole library of mixes to help see you through the next while. ︎
In place of their line-up, Junior High presents a playlist featuring bands and songs all about Los Angeles. Listen Here ︎
