On Halloween, pornstar and director (not to mention a former girlfriend of with a party at the self-described "industrial disco-tech" Das Bunker (MySpace) in Los Angeles.

All across the Ist-A-Verse (or at least the American parts thereof), writers and editors are in the midst of enjoying their three-day weekend. But after the week we've all had, we feel like the break is not only needed, but deserved. Just look at everything we've been doing!

LAist has so much fun this week! They go to E3, where they overhear the timeless remark "Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid." Is that a promise? They also give us this week's best CDs and make us realize that LA is the best place to use Zillow.

Although they've been playing the LA music scene for nearly two years and
released an eponymous EP, Army Navy are
probably most recognized for being featured on Fox's hit show, the
OC. They also
have a strong fan base in Seattle, thanks to KEXP.
With influences ranging from British pop to Pacific Northwest post-grunge,
Army Navy strikes that enviable balance of being both instantly familiar and
unique. This particular editor thinks (or at least hopes) the band is on the
verge of breaking... so check them out locally while you can. You'll have bragging rights later.


Army Navy are: Justin Kennedy (vocals, rhythm guitar), Ben Gaffin (bass),
Louie Schultz (keyboards, lead guitar and backup vocals) and Josh Zetumer (drums).

Upcoming shows:

• Sunday November 6th at 3 of Clubs with Rum Diary from San Francisco
• Monday November 7th at Silverlake Lounge with Little One and Fielding
• Monday November 14th at Detroit Bar with The Color Turning

For the past week, we've been marvelling over the great butterfly explosion around town and telling anyone who would listen about how we were caught on the freeway as seemingly thousands of the monarch butterflies decided it was time to cross the 405 at the same time. Turns out they aren't monarchs at all. The Daily Breeze reports that the insects are actually painted lady butterflies and are flying from Northern Mexico to the Pacific Northwest. The reason for the abundance? Our record setting rainfall.

Admittedly, LAist is surprised that USC was able to roll over Oklahoma so easily 55-19. The Sooners have looked like a great team all year, and for them to play so porous was a surprise. But the Trojans just have more talent than everyone else, Auburn and Utah included.
