LAist reader and Hollywood Hills videographer, Daniel "Brat" Barassi, offers a jerky, sunny-day tour of the right side of the tracks.

If you follow local politics, this video should make you laugh. The LA Weekly finds it was based on a story of theirs from last year where they concluded that Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was the 11% mayor. Despite all that the video pokes fun at, the city is still here and the crime rates are down. Still, what's up with the million trees?

Hey Huell Howser fans, ready for a damn good laugh? This is California's Gold and Purple Haze. Oh yeah.

Even the occasional Adam Carolla listener -- whether during his decade on KROQ's Loveline, mornings via KLSX's The Adam Carolla Show, or digitally on his iTunes-topping The Adam Carolla Podcast -- knows the Ace Man has a great much to say about his formative years in North Hollywood. This 2007 rant (part of Zocalo's Public Square lecture series) is no different. (Zocalo hosts the full chat: How to be a Genius Without Even Trying: A Conversation with Adam Carolla.)

Two minutes of your time to check out something wonderful. Reminded us of the White Stripes Lego video of "Fell In Love With A Girl".

Every Sunday a crowd gathers in Hollywood to dance to the best in real house music at DEEP. One of LA's internationally successful house DJs, Marques Wyatt (who gave birth to this weekly,) can be heard most Sundays. DEEP's crowd resembles more of a melting pot than typically seen in Los Angeles and they're there to dance to the soulful sounds of Wyatt and his world-class guest DJs.

Last week Hollywood lost the legendary Bea Arthur, when the funny lady of television and Broadway passed away at 86. The fab foursome of Arthur's hit series The Golden Girls is often compared with the totally different kind of fab foursome seen on Sex and the City, this TV Land video shows the late, great Arthur (along with television's other golden ladies Katherine Helmond, Charlotte Rae, and Sally Struthers) lampooning the HBO series, and reminding us she'll always have the last laugh.

Mubia is a black revolutionary wrongfully sent to the electric chair for raping & murdering white women. Precocious teen porn star Heather passes her time playing with ventriloquist dummies & Ouija boards. You don't have to be too horror-savvy to know that this is a roomful of bodies waiting to happen. At the stroke of midnight, Mubia is executed and Heather inadvertently Ouijas his soul into her dummy, infusing him with curly hair, a baadasssss attitude & a mouth that would make Richard Pryor roll over in his grave. The two fall deeply in love, but their relationship faces its greatest test when Heather's porn star friends come over for a girls' night of car-washing, showering, bathing & Twister. For once Heather leaves to grab food, an influx of slavery images, black power memories & demonic influences overwhelms Mubia (via a kaleidoscopic collision the filmmakers dub "Negroscope") and the starlets meet their ends in increasingly violent fashion. Maybe that all-white jury was all right...

Fill the news racks with double-D racks? Open up an LA Times Smoke Shop on Spring Street? Got any better ideas?

In this 1992 video from the Hollywood Palladium, Alice in Chains performs their grunge classic "Man In The Box." Frontman Layne Staley shows what can occur when a lead singer is unencumbered by a guitar -- he's free to climb a massive stack of speakers and Superman onto adoring fans. In 2002 Staley lost a long battle with drug addiction. RIP Layne Staley. You're missed. The Layne Staley Fund aims to increase awareness of heroin addiction and its possible recovery.

Racking up over ten million YouTube views, and signed to Kanye West's GOOD Music imprint, hip-hopper Kid Cudi is well on his way. The recent video for "Day 'n Night" features the lonely stoner meandering around Los Angeles. Can you recognize any of the locations? Comment below!

It’s a wet and rainy one out there this week, so be sure to buckle up safely and take it easy to avoid any mishaps. And you’ll want to be especially careful if you’ve got a hooker in the car. AM I RIGHT, EDDIE MURPHY?! AM I RIGHT, 12 YEAR OLD CELEBRITY REFERENCE?! At any rate, we’ve all wondered how the availability of OnStar in many cars these days might lead to a loss of privacy, but what about when OnStar has to save you from yourself, you sleazeball?

This year, Aimee Mann gave a Christmas gift to the world by sharing videos from her third annual Christmas show. These four gems are just as good as their 2007 counterparts, and the 2008 cast includes guests such as Mann's talented husband, Michael Penn, a hilarious Michael Cera spouting f-bombs in protest of being cast as Tiny Tim, Paul F. Tompkins as a ghost who has technical difficulties delivering his message via Skype, plus John. C. Reilly, Tim Heidecker, Grant Lee Phillips and John Krasinski.

It feels like an annual tradition these days. Politicians fight over the budget. It's delivered late. But nothing really gets fixed. And this year is especially bad.

Since it's a Day Without a Bag today, here's a useful, creative and value added way to make your holiday gifts more environmentally hip. The bags in this video are from Baggu Bags.

If you faithfully watched the first season of "True Blood" on HBO this Fall, then you'll remember Fangtasia, the vampire bar set in Shreveport, Louisiana. The true setting of the bar isn't too far off from reality, in alternative theme at least. It's actually Alex's Bar in Long Beach which is one of the top venues for punk music in the Los Angeles area. LAist has visited them a number of times for shows and is happy to see the great venue used for a great show (also a candy-crack easy-to-read addicting book series by Charlaine Harris).

The Office of the President-Elect previewed Barack Obama's weekly address on Thanksgiving Day. He speaks about the holiday, but also the economy: "This Thanksgiving, we are reminded that the renewal of our economy won't come from policies and plans alone -- it will take the hard work, innovation, service, and strength of the American people."

With one of the best holiday time videos, the LA Fire Department reminds us of the annual deep-fried Turkey danger. Then, after you survive the tryptophan nap, you hopefully have the KCAL9 Yule Log to look forward to in December.

If you're tired of Zac Efron or Vanessa Hudgens (I don't know how but then again I haven't seen the first two), here is one more reason to go see this movie if you already haven't. Thanks to Willis' appearance on the Late Show, we get a chance to see this clip without having to pay for the ticket stub.
