'From L.A. With Love,' for your weekend

It's a bit narrow to think of the new compilation "From L.A. With Love" as a snapshot of this city's underground music and art scene -- it's more of a slide show, an eclectic series of aural glances into the world of the city's passionate boundary-stretchers. Conceived and assembled by Andrew Lojero, the guy behind downtown's ArtDontSleep parties, the collection features original tracks by such luminaries DJ Nobody, Adventure Time, Flying Lotus, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Free Moral Agents (featuring Ikey Owens from the Mars Volta) and Carlos Nino, among others, and also includes a track from the late Tarek "DJ Dusk" Captan, who was killed a little over a year ago when he struck by a car. The booklet that accompanies the CD, with a nifty intro from Mike the Poet, features artwork corresponding to each song, making this 4.75-inch-by-4.75-inch package something of a gallery with a soundtrack. Cool stuff for the eyes, ears and soul.

Last week's release of the CD will be celebrated at a party starting at 7 p.m. Saturday at the A+D Museum, 5900 Wilshire Blvd. Cover is $10.

Here's a sample (for the ears):
