PBW vs. LA Day Five packed out the regularly packed out Root Down party at Silver Lake's Little Temple last night for a set of 80s hip hop 45s (a couple 90s joints snuck in too). Looking at the setlist (after the jump), you might be tempted to think you've heard it all before, but put it together in iTunes and see if you don't have the same reaction as the folks in above photo. Tonight, Wolf hits one of LA's best parties, Firecracker at Chinatown's Grand Star, for some 70s Afro-Latin and disco, so check back in tomorrow for the rundown and go here for a daily wrap of the previous night's affairs.
