Your compass to Sunday's music
[Full disclosure: As you know if you read the material in the rail at right, this blogger has a weekly (unpaid) show on Little Radio. But I dig badminton too.]
It's summer camp, without a patch of grass or a can of bug spray in sight.
Little Radio on Sunday kicks off its weekly "camp" -- an afternoon of food and drink, games and rock 'n' roll that brings out the inner child in hundreds of indie kids (ahem, and adults). There is all manner of activities, from water slides, wading pools, ping-pong, badminton, bouncy rooms and a jousting competition. Consumptive types can enjoy barbecue and drinks (a $5 donation is asked of those imbibing), as well as a weekly triumvirate of rock bands.
The Western States Motel, the Pity Party and headliners the Willowz play this week; next week, it's Brothers & Sisters, the Little Ones and the Raveonettes. The festivities take place at the Little Radio warehouse (1218 Long Beach Ave. in downtown L.A.) and its adjacent parking lot. Sounds like fun for everybody, except the cleanup crew.

Meanwhile, the Los Feliz Village Street Fair runs from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. along Vermont Avenue, featuring food, artisan booths, children's activities and two stages of live music. Until June, an L.A. trio with a Keane/Coldplay sensibility, headlines at 6:45 p.m. Sunday; Shapes of Racecars and Sarah Kelly are also among the performers. Check the link for the full lineup.
Beats yard work.
