Waiting for LP Giobbi: Dance music superstar-in-the-making LP Giobbi grew up playing jazz and classical piano and graduated with a Jazz Piano Performance degree from UC Berkeley. “After college I would play solo jazz piano gigs at a bar in San Francisco every weekend and one night an engineer and producer for Daft Punk heard me playing and asked if I wanted to join an all female electronic band in LA that the Daft Arts team was putting together,” she says. “The other women in the band were also jazz musicians and together we learned about synthesis and electronic gear and I started using Ableton and Protools to produce for the band. I have always personally taken it seriously because I loved it and because I wanted to be a visual representation for other women considering only 2% of producers are women. My first real ‘break’ came when Sofi Tukker asked me to go on tour with them and that is when I learned how to DJ and read a dance floor. I was horrible...

Kingdom of 10,000,000 White Leghorns. Chickaluma. The Egg Basket of the World.These were all once nicknames for Petaluma, a charming little city in the agricultural bosom of Sonoma County. By the early 1900s, a booming poultry industry, driven by a locally designed egg incubator, saw the area producing 120 million eggs a year.

Chickens are painted on fading shop walls, metal roosters stand outside a restaurant, and the fairground harbors a huge sculpture of a white hen. That last one requires occasional repairs, becaus...

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren avoided adding fuel to the idea that they compete with each other, even though media and fans constantly link the slender 7-footers.The much-anticipated first regular-season meeting between two of the NBA’s top rookies wasn’t much of a game, and apparently there isn’t much of a rivalry.Wembanyama said he wasn’t aware he was even being compared to Holmgren.“Every prospect is compared to everyone,” said the 19-year-old from France.They rarely matched up 1-on-1 on Tuesday, and both had off nights. Wembanyama finished with eight points on 4-for-15 shooting, grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked two shots in San Antonio’s 123-87 loss to Oklahoma City. Holmgren finished with nine points on 3-for-10 shooting and had seven rebounds and three assists.Wembanyama, the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft, entered the night averaging 19.7 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.4 blocks. Holmgren, the No. 2 pick in the 2022 draft, missed last s...
