I know that no matter what I say about these two bands and this show I will get blasted. I think it is kind of lame to have to defend why one likes band A or band B it is after all music and it can effect you in ways that it doesn't others. While I am not a diehard for either of these two groups I do appreciate what they bring to the...

What did you miss at the Grammys last night? Lionel Richie sang "Hello," (sans clay bust) and it was like warm honey. That's what you missed. I'd like to put my vote in now for a fierce Lionel Richie comeback. Also, The Police policed, Chris Rock made a funny about RHCP with their jocks in socks before JT ever put his in a box, Christina Aguilera sang her guts up on a James Brown...

His music might not be what it once was back in the early Rick Rubin days, but one thing you can't deny, homie has a sick body. Someone finally decided to market this phenomenon with "LL Cool J’s Platinum Workout: Sculpt Your Best Body Ever With Hollywood’s Fittest Star" (topless photo of the book cover after the jump). Not only can you pick up this fine work, but you can even have it autographed...

It’s Tuesday night, which means you better “Check Yo’Ponytail” at Safari Sam’s. They knocked us out with their Los Angeles debut at Spaceland this summer, and with a bigger fanbase and nastier lyrics, we’re sure Spank Rock, Baltimore’s raunchy street brats, will do it once again. Bringing Miami booty bass, dirty east coast beats, and lottsa dirty words, Spank Rock’s mind bending hip-hop will show Los Angeles how to do it right. Check Yo’...

But when we heard that NBC refused to run the ad for the Dixie Chicks documentary Shut Up & Sing, we ran to the theater to see what the fuss was all about. This is a great film. That's why NBC didn't like it. They hate things that are good....

LA Fire Department blog lets us know that "all fireworks, even the so-called "safe and sane" variety are illegal in the City of Los Angeles, and have been outlawed since World War II!" We hope you recognize that exclaimation mark. The problem is, that poster looks so cool we want to re-create it. And then blow it up real good. - LAFD

Bedroom Walls All Good Dreamers Pass This Way (Baria Records) – The All Music Guide gives this local band a 4.5/5 and says: “"If Elliott Smith were still alive and decided to get together and jam with Neutral Milk Hotel, the results might sound a lot like this self-described ‘romanticore’ quintet.” That’s very high praise indeed. They’re appearing live at the Troubadour on 5/30. Download a demo of “In Anticipation of Your Suicide”
