Yesterday, March 9, 2011, marked the fourteen year anniversary of the passing of Christopher Wallace also known as rapper "The Notorious B.I.G."  He was shot to death in a drive-by shooting at the corner of Wilshire and La Brea in Los Angeles, California in 1997.

Last night a few blocks away at the El Rey Theatre, indie pop pixie Lykke Li performed her second show of the week to promote her recently released "Wounded Rhymes" album.  Minutes before the Sweedish songstress took the stage an erie tribute to the fallen East Coast Rapper was played in the form of Kids And Explosions' incredible mashup "There Is A Burning Ball Of Fire In Outer Space" featuring Biggie's "Suicidal Thoughts" from his "Ready To Die" debut album, Sigur Ros' "Vaka / Untitled 1" from the "( )" album, Destiny's Child's "Survivor" from the same titled album and Berlin's "Take My Breath Away" of "Top Gun" fame.  Check it!
