“Welcome to violence, the word and the act”. Those are the opening words from Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, the Russ Meyer cinematic ode to cool screening tonight at the Vista in Hollywood. Starring the voluptuous badass Tura Satana as Varla, FPKK is the story of 3 drag racin’ go-go dancers looking for kicks & trouble when they con their way onto an old man’s desert property after a day of murder & kidnapping. The......

Just a mere week old on the Interwebs, this video by French DJ team Justice has already managed to cause serious controversy throughout the French media, meaning said controversy will undoubtedly cross the pond upon further exposure. The video's nascent beginnings can be traced back to Kanye West's blog, wherein he claims to be the first to have shared it on May 1st. First or not, this video is pretty cool.......

"Little Girl" by Robert Francis As the local indie folk-rock musician Robert Francis laid down tracks for his sophomore album, he released a new video a couple weeks ago from his debut record, One By One. Francis, whose sister is Juliette Commagere of Hello Stranger, was given his first guitar at age nine by Ry Cooder and taught to play by Red Hot Chili Peppers' John Frusciante.

From Curbed LA via Fox News, those dancing girls in the windows at the 101/110 freeway junction get explained. It's a tough housing market, but sex(iness) apparently still sells... or at least they still try.......

In honor of April Fools Day, here is brilliant footage of "Santana" Shredding! I strongly encourage you to watch any of the related videos. They have to be way more entertaining than watching Yngvie Malmsteen or Steve Vai rock out for real.......

There's a massive world freeze planned for April 1st and since Los Angeles has recently gone abuzz with unexpected events that cause "chaos and joy," a new local group inspired by the East Coast Improv Everywhere has already gone out and accomplished some missions, including this above video from February 23rd at Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade. The local group, who recently dubbed themselves as GuerilLA seems to have begun after Improv Everywhere flew......

Why should you watch this? Because this is happening all over Los Angeles, not just Del Rey. Curbed LA rightly called this video, done by neighbors opposing the proposted Louise Ave. building, "brilliant." This property is the focal point of the first lawsuit in Los Angeles regarding the density bonus bill, SB1818, a law that strips local municipal zoning codes and allows higher density with less restrictions (height, setbacks). And as Curbed explains, "it's......

We couldn't pick a better headline than Think On These Things did with this video. The blog, that talks itself up to be "research, commentary, and news on the 2008 Presidential Election with a Pro-Obama Slant" show us this video that has made Derrick, the savvy Obama supporter being interviewed, practically a political YouTube Star. Going by the sobriquet DNA, his locally based "Afropolitan Fusion" style band is Soulfège (check out 'To Be Free'......

Diebold Accidentally Leaks Results Of 2008 Election Early The electronic voting machine company, Diebold, has accidently leaked the results of the 2008 Election. Still, the company and the country will go on with the election to please the people. "This country is based on the fantasy that the government is the voice of the people," one Diebold representative said.

Part of an ongoing series. Three weeks ago, The Airborne Toxic Event (MySpace) concluded their January residency at Spaceland (MySpace) in Silver Lake with a show that included The Deadly Syndrome (MySpace) and Castledoor (MySpace). It was a chance to see all three of Kevin Bronson's bands to watch on the same stage in a single night. So many people (including Kiefer Sutherland, who had recently completed his DUI prison sentence) descended to Spaceland......

Their next Los Angeles show is on March 3rd at The Troubadour (an all ages show at that). See Koga's fantastic photos of Airborne at a Spaceland soundcheck.......

The Billionaires for Bush have finally placed their bejeweled slippers into that arena of the peasant, the 2008 election, with this powerful video. These heroes are alerting the mud-farmers and illiterates of this Wondrous Nation that if they believe they can finally get the change in America, No, They Can't.......

This is a parody video of Fergie's song "Fabulous" about a certain game a lot of us Facebook-ing LAisters love. And that little game is called...Scrabulous. Let's hope Facebook isn't forced to give Scrabulous the boot. Just look at this video--vocabulary has never been this sexy!!! PS: You do know your beloved LAist has a "page" on the FB, right? Be our fan! You know you want to!......

The WGA strike has created a shortage of new television and films. If it can't be resolved soon, the studios can always take old movies and re-edit them. This trailer reimagines David Lynch's Blue Velvet as a romantic comedy ala Meet The Parents. Why are there people like Frank?......

Mitt Romney is the consummate, cookie-cutter, robot-like Republican. Forget about eliciting animation or human emotion from this wanna-be prez. Even his campaign henchmen lack the ability to opine on, well, just about anything, as evidenced below. Romney is lucky to have 30 delegates on his side after Iowa and New Hampshire. Problem is, it takes 1,191 to win the Republican nomination. The 60-year-old former Massachusetts governor does have one or two things going for him,......

How much money would it take for you to go on tv night after night and be wrong about things? Millions? Tens of millions?

In 1994 I fell in love with this Soul Coughing song about Los Angeles, and to this day still snicker with a kind of savvy delight when frontman Mike Doughty gets to the line: "We are all in some way or another going to Reseda someday...to die." Come on. You totally get it, too. This LA Times piece from last month revisiting the iconic spoken-word song deflates my memory balloon a tad, since in......
