Fuck My Life
Fresh new stuff from TSF.
The Status Faction posted a HUGE hand painted paste in honor of TSF's recent feature on TMZ.
Dig the art, and the commentary that celebrates the accomplishment while at the same time questioning the role of television.
There was also an incredible piece by Inept on this wall. Unfortunately, it was missing by the time we made it over to snap the photo.
Throwie by Otis.

Alec Monopoly Video
Thanks to MelroseandFairfax reader film maker Adolfo J Lara, here is a dope new video from Alec, explaining his views on street art, all the while dressed in a tux like his character, Monopoly Man.
Great action, and cool to hear the thoughts and see the studio of the man who is all over LA.
Peep the video here

Night Life in Hollywood Pt. 5/5--Steel Panther
MelroseandFairfax loves 80's hair rock n' roll, and the best place in Hollywood to rock out like its 1989, is at a Steel Panther show.
Recently moved home from the House of Blues to the Key Club, every Monday night is Steel Panther night. Rock out to your favorite hits from the 80's while your cock is community property. A great place to see celebrities and boobs.
The first Steel Panther show we attended, they brought Chuck Liddell and McLovin up on stage and tried to get them to fight. Then McLovin sang Journey and went back to his porn star he was with who had boobs bigger than his head.
Steel Panther is blowing up and is filming for a TV show on Comedy Central that starts this fall. If you live in LA, Steel Panther is a must.

Jughead's Revenge
LA is the Best Fucking City. Period.
MelroseandFairfax has been around the globe.
Have traveled through 46 states.
We thought that Florida housed the best place to live--until we moved to LA.
Los Angeles is the place where dreams are made. The place to go big. The place to make a name.
The combination of climate, mountains, beaches, street art and stardom make LA, at least in the eyes of MelroseandFairfax, the best city, anywhere. Period.
We shot these shots of the Hollywood skyline while flying in from a recent jaunt out to the East Coast (its good to be back home).

Sticker Couch
Melrose Music is a Vinyl, Comic, and action figure store on Melrose.
Last week we spotted this couch through the window of the store with a bunch of stickers on it.
When we went in the store, reached behind the counter and pulled out a hole box of stickers circa-early 1980's.
Mostly from rock bands and popular culture figures (Joe Jackson in the hiz-ousse!), it was really cool to step back a few decades.
Bombed Mural
Crash AGF crashes the party and throws a bomb up on this CBS mural.
The rules of the streets say only go over something if what you bring is better, and even though this clearly isn't the case, it is refreshing to see some illegal bombing in the alleys behind Melrose.
Atlas up top, not sure who the other artists are.
