Soaked in blood and reeking with suspense "L.A. Rex" is set in South Central Los Angeles, and is about cops, crips, rappers, and "are the killers of El Eme's tax collectors carrying an oval badge?" Will Beall is a cop in real life who worked in the most dangerous district in LA, the 77th. The craziest most violent shit happens there. Gang-bangin that's too fucked up for even the News stations to report on...

We bought this from a dude sitting on a bean bag chair watching a plasma. Afgooey is a well known strain that has been circulated in Los Angeles for years and can be found with regularity at many dudes living rooms and medical clinics. Pre-Smoke Examination: The nugs are small, no larger than a Nickel in circumference, are extremely dense. It smells pungent like a Christmas tree in a freshly painted room, and when...

"Your chopped up in boxes / My topics are gothic / Morbitity / You can't get rid of me / The reason there's humidity: you spit to me / So kill yourself and write a note / Before the noose wraps tight around your throat / your windpipe is choked" -Necro Necro is a psycho who degrades women, abuses drugs, raps about violence & porn, and who sold out the Knitting Factory on a...

This weed was imported from Santa Cruz by an amateur grower. It's called Pot of Gold. It's for sale for $50 an 8th and is slowly creeping into local Los Angeles living rooms. Pot of Gold seeds come from Flying Dutchmen seed company, and won 2nd prize at the 2003 Cannabis Cup in the Indica category. Pre-Smoke Examination: The buds are very round and fat. It's extremely fresh off the vine, and the nugs...

Serj Tankian is that lead singer losing his mind screaming into the microphone at those System of the Down shows. You know, the one amping the crowd into a frenzy rivaled only by a pack of starved wolves. Obviously this Armenian from Glendale has enough kaboom to rock a successful solo side dealio. And LAist loves local success stories. Anyways, he whips out this Elect The Dead album, it doesn't come out until October...

Quannum Projects has done their homework to discover and unveil this previously unreleased 60s recording from legendary Chicago funk and soul band Pieces of Peace. The story goes that in 1971 they recorded their only LP, and got offered a Southeast Asia tour. It was on this trip, in Singapore, that Pieces of Peace disbanded and went crawling back home. Some say it was homesickness, others claim it was stress dealing with agents, but...

Necro grew up in Brooklyn listening to rap and heavy metal, and took all those influences and fused them together. Like if death-metal and hip-hop had a baby after a failed abortion. And while it's so good you will want to memorize every word, don't let your girlfriend listen to it... Not unless you want a lot of explaining to do, "No baby, i'm not a psycho, Necro is, but im just a fan!"...

We got an 8th of Lavender for $50 from a friend who told us it was allegedly grown by the Hell's Angels. Lavender is genetically engineered by Soma Seeds, and won 1st prize at the 2005 Cannabis Cup in the Indica category. Pre-Smoke Examination: The buds are long, twisty, and bulbous. Also, they are not extremely dense, and too dry to be fluffy. The smell is quite similar to real Lavender, and the smell...

After putting together an insane line up of bands, and secruing the incredible Exposition Park in Downtown Los Angeles for the venue, The Neighborhood Festival hooked up with LAist's favorite locally-based photo sharing community, Buzznet in a ticket giveaway bonanza. All one has to do is join some group thing thang, and you're officially entered in the contest. They are giving away ten pairs, which is a lot, and on 9/20/07 12:00 pm PST 10...

After 2002 when Dave Mustaine broke up Megadeth due to his weirdo arm-injury nerve-thing, nobody suspected he would make a roaring comeback with two new albums debuting at #18 and then #8, and now they'll be coming to the Grove of Anaheim on Sept. 12th with their "Tour of Duty". If you don't know much about Megadeth, let me tell you that they are thrash metal legends. Some say they are part of the...
