While all the cheesy babybooming douches like Costas and McCarver harken back endlessly about the good ole days of the Boys of Summer before they left NY and moved to LA, keep in mind one thing - people in Brooklyn don't miss the Dodgers. They might miss Vin Scully, or decent National League baseball, but miss or care about the Bums? Faggitaboutit. "When Pee Wee Reese died," said Marty Adler, who has spent years......

Not since Pee Wee's Playhouse has there been a children's show that grown-ups can enjoy as much as kids. Washington DC's local cable-access show, Pancake Mountain, has been attracting rockers like Deerhoof, Scissor Sisters, and Arcade Fire since 2003. Scott Stuckey's concept for the program was to have a children's show that is focused on fun, not on marketing. It's all about the music, and their live dance parties invite local kids to join......

Last minute plans? Try some culture via ExperienceLA's calendar. Or try our picks for tonight: Canon at Union Station, Pee Wee's Big Adventure at Angel City Drive-In, or Tonight in Rock. Toady, Oprah Winfrey held a swanky fundraiser for Barack Obama south of Santa Barbara expecting to raise $3-million.

There is probably no room for car drive-in RSVPs (their blog says they only had 10 spaces left on Thursday) but the organizers at Angel City Drive-In encourage walk-ins and bike-ins for this downtown event next to the Alexandria Hotel. In fact, there is also a post-event 8-mile bike ride through downtown with a "biker gang" dressed in Pee Wee Herman gear. For the screening, bring chairs and/or blankets and alcohol if you need. Food......

Angels 13, Tigers 4 - The Angels got back on track this weekend, hammering NL Central leader Detroit for 34 runs in a three game sweep. Anaheim reached double-digits in each game and had 12 runs by the end of the third inning on Sunday. Chone Figgins had three runs in the finale and every starter scored at least once. Rockies 9, Dodgers 6 - Los Angeles couldn't sustain a 9th inning rally and dropped......

A Word or 36: Hopefully the jerkoff session over the Aqua Teen Hunger Force is winding down and we can get back to real topics like: is Paula Abdul getting replaced by Courtney Love on Idol? And other such ilk.

Yesterday, Curbed LA ran their first Where the Hell is...? column with Castaic. Since we have some experience with Castaic (cold shudder), here are some fun tidbits: Next door (and some claim it's part of Castaic) is Val Verde. Literally translated to Green Valley, local newspaper The Signal references its history as the "Black Palm Springs." Nowadays, the beautiful dirt road community is predominantly populated by orchard laborers and CalArts students (Paul Reubens, a.k.a......

A mid-season series on Oxygen didn't sound promising to us until we read the NY Times review that compared it — favorably! — to AbFab. Two 40-ish women leave their suburban lives and enroll as college freshmen. Cringeworthy at first, it gets increasingly debauched and insane, then mellows out to loopy — and cringeworthy again. The show's stars/creators, Christen Sussin (left) and Carrie Aisley, are veterans of LA's classic comedy hothouse the Groundlings. So......

The proliferation and profitability of storefront psychics in Los Angeles is one of those persistent urban mysteries, such as the absence of baby pigeons in New York City. The recent vote by the Los Angeles Police Commission suggests that it might be explained by good old fashioned people being easily suckered. The soothsaying industry will remain marginal after the Commission decided yesterday to not officially regulate it. In contrast, Riverside and San Francisco allow psychics......
