Los Feliz |
|
Violin-toting Andrew Bird is one of the new breed of classically trained, technically accomplished yet musically open-minded singer-songwriters who let their hearts wander over accessible terrains of prettified indie-folk-rock while their heads hover in the sonic clouds. His latest, Noble Beast... More >> |

Jon Brion LARGO AT THE CORONET |
Fri., July 10, 9:30pm |
West Hollywood |
|
Its easy for Angelenos to take for granted that Jon Brion is going to be performing at Largo. After all, he does it most Friday nights, which you might note, as we often do, cruising past the theater on the way to the Sunset Strip or Hollywood. The pianist and songwriter composes in the...

So come with me back to a more innocent era, the... More >> |

A toxic gift that keeps on giving, the 1959 partial nuclear meltdown at the Santa Susana Field Lab in Ventura County has the dubious distinction of being the third-largest release of nuclear iodine and other poisonous materials. But unlike the other top two meltdowns -- one of which is... More >> |

USC to South L.A. |
|
Underwhelmed by the so-called 3D effects of megabucks flicks like Up and Race to Witch Mountain? Try arguing with a second-grader that these films are even in 3D. Sorry, Disney/Pixar, but for real holy-crap-a-shark-is-charging-into-my-lap thrills, you can't beat the 3D innovators at IMAX. Under... More >> |
