Saturday was pure magic. ’s 13th Annual Rock & Roll Carnival brought the noise to Hancock Park for a great cause: . It’s an incredible organization that gets instruments into the hands of kids and teens who need them.

I spent the day with some of the coolest people and was blown away by the performances. We saw a mostly Go-Go’s reunion (, , ) who also jammed with and . Epic sets followed from , , and of Letters to Cleo. The legends kept coming: () with , , (, Love and Rockets, ), and .tolhurst ().

The highlight for me was seeing the mission in action. The teen band absolutely crushed their set with the one and only ( ).

Huge thanks to .oconnor for the delicious bites, and to Nick and Mia from the iconic for the tasty . The unique silent auction items from all the thoughtful donors and sponsors were an incredible addition to help raise critical funds for the charity.

My heart is heavy. We lost the legendary George Maloian on Saturday. 💔 He was more than a colleague at APM Music where we met – he was a true friend, a brilliant mind, and the wittiest person I knew. He was a force in the music industry, working across The Clearing House, Virgin, Sony, and Warner during his career, and managing phenomenal music-driven productions like the legendary campaign featuring Madonna x Missy Elliot, Lenny Kravitz x Sarah Jessica Parker, Daft Punk x Juliette Lewis, AC/DC x Audrey Hepburn, and many more. Eventually, he left Hollywood for NYC’s Broadway lights (he loved theatre), and then went back to Detroit to be with his beloved family. Our bond was unbroken and we caught up regularly. He always had that special sparkle, that quiet warmth, and I could count on him to make me smile. George, you lit up and soundtracked our lives. I love you, and we miss you terribly. ❤️

Now THAT’s a soundtrack. You often hear that in some films, the city is just as much of a character as the actors. Well, the music in Cruella is that and much more. It weaves the entire film together in a sonic sensation of storytelling. Absolutely brilliant.

The Cruella soundtrack is a non-stop parade of classic pop and rock, and director Craig Gillespie wouldn’t have it any other way.
