Dub All-Stars Make Life Easy

It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel sublime-thanks to the Long Beach Dub All-Stars, whose new album, “Wonders of the World,” has the cure-all. I recommend you spin Track 7, “It Ain’t Easy.”

It contains the lyrics, “Livin’ ain’t easy, you know, it’s hard so hard.” Ain’t that the truth ....Karma brought me back to the Conga Room last week. Man, that is one beautiful nightclub....Got to kick it with Doris Jackson for a spell. Jackson’s the mother of one of my favorite superheroes-O.G. rapper Ice Cube-who’s shooting the latest installment of his “Friday” franchise.

While loitering on the L.A. set, which featured a clothing shop called Pimps N’ Hos, I ran into the famed Chicago “pimp” Bishop Don Magic Juan, dressed to the nines in his favorite shade: money-green. Man, I wonder what his day rate is....

Grabbed a coffee with entrepreneurs Dave Gadja and Jose Malagon, who own valuable buildings in the Cahuenga Corridor. Turns out, Gadja played a key role in the redevelopment of South Beach. I say, right on. We cruised past one of their newest tenants, Badlanz, an Internet gaming lounge on Cahuenga.

Strolled into Star Shoes last Wednesday and checked out Bubblegum Perfume, a bimonthly mod scene with excellent deejays. A chatty patty tells me the Strokes kicked it at Star Shoes and Beauty Bar when they were in town last week....Tempest is hosting “Spoken Interludes” on Nov. 11, a “salon” for storytelling featuring Winona Ryder.

Cherry alert: The famed Friday night dance club is on hiatus for the next three weeks, as it gets ready to reopen at the newly revamped Play Room. That’ll be huge....Chanced into the Dragonfly’s Pretty Ugly club for a minute last week for a double header of Run Run Run and Coyote Shivers. I wanna give a shout-out to one of my favorite hard-working door gals, Stephanie Mata. She’s so fierce, I always pay the cover.

Made the mistake of waiting in the eternal “last call” line at Pink’s hot dog stand on La Brea Avenue just to order a spicy Polish dog. Dude, stick with the mild.

Oooh, we’re getting lots of calls from sources in West Hollywood, talking ‘bout how certain cutting-edge nightclubs are being targeted by city officials looking to close them down. It’s the “Guiliani Effect,” and it’s coming to a city near you.

Finally, to the guy in the convertible playing freeway frogger on the 101 last Wednesday night: Cocktail Nintendo’s for suckas. Designate a sober driver, por favor .
