Happy Monday. Here are cat songs. And since racist stereotypes know no species boundaries, and psychedelic jazz is as much for cartoon felines as it is for the children who love them, please also watch the post-jump video and behold Eva Gabor in all her boho wonder. France is swinging y’all.

Mark Wahlberg lights up TV screens this week as Shooter reaches the DVD shelves. I don't know about you, but this tale of double-crosses and revenge had a distinct late 80s/early 90s vibe to it for me. Did Sly pass on this script 20 years ago or was it Steve in '95?

Tigers 9, Angels 5 - Mike Maroth threw 105 pitches over just 4 and 2/3 innings, giving up seven hits, five walks, and three runs (two earned). He left the game with the bases loaded.

Yesterday the Parks Department revealed a draft master plan for Griffith Park, and we say it looks like one fun makeover. Included in the 25-year, wish-list-y proposal are a landscaped pier along the LA River and many improved natural wildlife corridors.

The other tram would start at the Greek Theater and ascend to the Griffith Observatory: Would it be so unusual to start out listening to Tom Jones from above and wind up where James Dean pulled a knife on his rivals in Rebel Without A Cause? We say no. It would be so very LA.
