"No Eyes, No Mouth"
The Visionaries always give us reasons to love them more and more - great music, a sense of unity, a will to love, and plenty of good tunes to jam to anywhere you get the urge. One member of the crew gives all of us vegetarian and vegan fans another reason to hail in their glory.
“Leave My Name Out,” aka LMNO, lays down rhymes for both his crew and his own solo endeavors, but he has now joined up with PETA to talk about his “No Eyes, No Mouth” moto and his somewhat skin crawling view on fur production. The video, which is now playing on PETA television, gives a candid look into LMNO’s reasons for practicing veganism, his views on what’s “fly” in animal fashions, and even a few unsettling pictures of animals.
You can catch this video at Petaworld.com or check out LMNO and the rest of the Visionaries crew at Upabove.com. You can also check out more vegan inspired tracks, including “No Eyes, No Mouth,” on LMNO’s Ps & Qs and look out for the Visionaries forthcoming album We the Ones (We’ve Been Waiting For), due out in October.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
