LAist contributer Osmany Rodriguez found a few fresh new Banksy paintings near the New Beverly Cinema. As you may already know, Banksy is the elusive guerrilla street artist responsible for some of the most interesting art in the city (not to mention the entire world). He's a trickster figure who never shows his face, but joined Steve Jones in the Indie 103.1 studios earlier this week (that's how we know he's been in L.A. recently).

Need some butt-rock to motivate your ass out the door to finish shopping? Luckily it's not just Satan, Satan, Satan all the time with these guys.

LAist Editor Tony Pierce has blogged here non-stop for more than a year deserving a well-earned vacation (and did he ever earn it). While out of town, we decided to have a little fun and bring some guest day editors in from around the blogLAsphere. Monday we had Green LA Girl and Tuesday saw Fred Camino of MetroRiderLA.Zuma Dogg took Wednesday and LA City Nerd yesterday. Today, former LAist Editor Carolyn Kellogg makes a comeback!...

You probably know him as the host of eclectic daily radio program Jonesy's Jukebox or as the former guitarist for the Sex Pistols, but you may not know about Steve Jones' true passion. I'm not referring to strippers and lager, I'm talking about soccer, or as they call it every-freakin-where else in the world: football. Along with some other lads -- among them former soccer star turned reliably thuggish character actor Vinnie Jones, musician...

In what could turn out to be a long, expensive, and revealing lawsuit, Tommy Lasorda, the great former manager of the LA Dodgers, swears that he will sue if the tell-all autobiography "Secrets of a Hollywood Super Madam" is released on Thursday. Hollywood madam Jody "Babydol" Gibson was popped eight years ago for pimping out high-priced hookers, porn stars, and Playboy models throughout 16 states. She was given three years but served less than...

For all the email blasts that just annoy us and clutter our inbox, every once in a blue moon there is a gem. We jumped at the chance to see Jet at Spaceland, well maybe not jump, more like press the "confirm sale" button on Ticketweb at exactly 10AM, but you catch our drift.

Any struggling A&R rep ought to take advantage of this holiday season and jump on the Mere Mortals while Hollywood naps. Their self-made "Rebel Radio" EP is climbing the FMQB charts that track national airplay on new music radio shows. Not only are the Mere Mortals the only unsigned band on the Single chart where they're #15, but they're #10 on the Album chart. Last year Napoleon Dynamite's Jon Gries (Uncle Rico) checked out...

The lovable Indie 103.1 dj, Steve Jones, the Sex Pistol guitarist who is known to whip out his guitar during interviews with his guests and jam, is hosting a evening of punk rock and film tonight.

Torontoist throws down the gauntlet and challenges all comers: pillow fight, bitch. They also stand up for a fellow blogger taking heat from the TTC and welcome city-wide WiFi.

It’s been over a year since Indie 103.1 blitzed onto the Los Angeles airwaves. Since the station's debut, Angelenos have been treated to a heady mix of 70’s punk attitude interspersed with a remarkably independent mindset. For all likeminded individuals, it’s made for quite a unique experience. Still, the station needed a voice…an image, an icon…someone who could truly galvanize the good people of our fine city and give them a swift, old-fashioned kick in the ass.

Someday I Suppose, since most of us really Don’t Know How to Party, it was bound to happen. Sick of Howard? Are Kevin and Bean just so five minutes ago? Are your mornings just too eclectic? Well, fear not loyal readers, you’re about to get a memorable Wake-Up Call. That Rascal King himself, Dicky Barrett, lead singer of legendary Boston ska-punk trailblazers The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, just got his own morning show. Finally. Beginning January 31st, on our very own too-hip for words local rock station indie 103.1, Dicky takes to the airwaves with his very own too-cool for school Noise Brigade.
