"Imaginary Places" - Busdriver (and excellent vid filmed on the streets of LA and a great piece too)

What's the holiday season without one of the most popular and famous works in Western choral literature -- George Frideric Handel's "Messiah"? And who doesn't like sing-alongs? (Remember our love for The Sound of Music Sing-A-Long at the Hollywood Bowl?) So many questions, so many...

MUSIC: CalTech isn’t just about nerdy rocket scientists. They have glee clubs, too! All kidding aside, tonight's concert will feature traditional holiday favorites as well as the Women's Club taking on Porpora’s Magnificat, written in the 1730s. 8 pm // Dabney Lounge at California Institute of Technology // 1200 East California Blvd., Pasadena // Free. DANCE: From CalTech, we’ll head over to CalArts in Valencia. The Sharon Disney Lund School of Dance is holding its...

If the department stores can put their Christmas merch out already, we can sure as hell start celebrating Halloween! Friday, October 12th Rosemary's Billygoat, who always put on a special-effects extravaganza along with some serious rocking, will be playing at The Haunt at the Northridge Fashion Center. There will also be three haunted houses and a Fall Festival. Rosemary's Billygoat plays at 9pm. The CIA (California Institute of Abnormal Arts) in North Hollywood's Fright Night...

Protest over national vs. regional chains, the never-ending debate over the place of cars and bicycles in our metropolises, professional sports scandals, remembering a solemn day, and being issued a search warrant - it all happened across our sites this week!

Walt Disney's art school, California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), in the Valencia neighborhood of Santa Clarita has always brought an interesting mix up to the traditionally Republican and white-flight valley north of The Valley. Though, as time progresses, the face of the 4th largest city in LA County grows lefter and more diverse. And CalArts is still seen as some experimental freak show to many (or to those who know nothing, "a basket...

Everyone loves an outlaw and David Allen Coe is as bad as they get. Practically born in prison, Coe has been slinging around racial epithets and dirty songs before it became trendy. And thanks to Red Peters and the fact that he can't be fined, Howard Stern has been playing one of Coe's classics "Fuckin in the Butt". Beneficiary of an opening spot from a recent Kid Rock tour, DAC is showing a new...

Ten days before Halloween and so many killer shows to choose from tonight. Clearly the obvious choice for the season would be dressing up as Eddie and going to the Maiden show. Imagine that parking lot scene. Sun Ra Arkestra, Money Mark, Watts Prophets @ Arthur Nights, Palace Theatre Bob Dylan @ Long Beach Arena Iron Maiden @ Irvine Meadows Rancid @ Henry Fonda The Decemberists @ Wiltern Meshell Ndegeocello @ Temple Bar Lucinda...

Because you made it through that devistatingly rough three-day workweek, here's a snap from last night's Super Freaks Sideshow and Revue at the California Institute of AbnormalArts in North Hollywood and here's a gallery of more great pics from Friday night.

Since it appears the solstice wiped away June gloom for the time being, this looks to be a great weekend for getting out and about. Fortunately, there's plenty going on:

NPR ran a story last week about the growing contest between California cities vying for stem cell research business. Communities struggling a bit in a post-dotcom world like San Jose are hoping that an infusion of biotech dollars will revitalize their economies.

LAist has recently discovered the website Experience LA, and we want to pass on the word. They hail themselves as the "definitive Cultural Information Portal for the greater LA area," merging cultural events and happenings around the city with information on using public transportation to get you there. Today, for example, we could win tickets to MOCA's Visual Music Installation or the Museum of the American West's production of Kino and Theresa. We could also attend tonight's LA Chamber Orchestra's Conversations event and have a glass of wine (included with ticket price) and some conversation before the evening's performance at Zipper Hall. Tomorrow we could skip work and attend Fifty-two Miles Downstream, a critical discussion about the history of the Los Angeles River hosted by the Southern California Institute of Architecture, and wrap up the night by seeing acclaimed mystery author Walter Mosley's The Literary Life at CalTech's Beckman Auditorium, for absolutely free. And all this can be accomplished without our car! Well, thanks, Experience LA. Let no one say there's nothing intellectual going on in this town.

We're changing things up a bit here at LAist. Because we live in such a vibrant, socially active city, there are things going on all the time. We have long wanted to be able to list events in advance (for the benefit of our wonderful readers), so starting today we have implemented a new strategy: a week's events in advance. We will still post featured events each day, but we've added a permanent sidebar (to the left) that will always link to a post containing this week's events.

Associated Press reports that a graduate student, a doctoral candidate at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, was convicted today of firebombing dozens of sport utility vehicles and causing more than $2 million in damage in an eco-vandalism rampage, but was cleared of the most serious charge against him.

The following Southern California scientists and policymakers, including Former First Lady Nancy Reagan, are among those listed in the third annual Scientific American 50 Awards.
