Hey "Gossip Girl" fans, The CW is pulling the show off of its website because too many of you are choosing to watch it online vs. TV (where its ratings are slumping). So, I get it, restrict the viewing of the content and everything will get better. What do you want to bet that this won't fix the problem? Tonight 7:00pm The Stepford Wives TCM - (1975) The ORIGINAL and much better version, with the......

In short: tonight brings us the conclusion of HBO's In Treatment, tomorrow Torchwood on the BBCA at 9pm provides us an opportunity to geek out, and on Sunday a lot of newly patriotic folks await part 4 of John Adams on HBO at 9pm.

The Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra just launched their new website. Classical music has went and gotten a makeover of black and white dashed with red, behind-the-music blogs posts the obligatory MySpace music profile and "LACO Pulse, the orchestra's network for the young and culturally savvy" (get together, drink, play pool, talk music). Shows to look out for this season at LACO are Musaic at the Jazz Bakery in May, Baroque Conversations 1 (we love Telemann!)......

In the classical music world, Los Angeles has something to brag about. It's the LA Phil series - Green Umbrella. The colorfully named series (there is no reason why the umbrella is green) is dedicated to new music, rather, contemporary classical, or if you will, music by composers who are not dead yet (or may have passed post 1950).
