These Bored Stiff guys chose an ironic name, because bored stiff is what you'll be. It's like they decided to make the most nondescript album of all time, "From The Ground Up". They come from the Bay area, and have a reputation that goes back as far as the 90's, so what gives? It's not like "From The Ground Up" is horrible. It's good in the sense that beats are pleasant, and the rhymes...

Jesus Britney, you're a wreck, but we love every second of it. Especially you recently being hypnotized by that dumb magic guy into being his new girl-toy. You know which magic guy, right? It's Criss Angel, the one who looks like the host of "The Pick Up Artist"on VH1. And, yeah sure, a ring on every finger, black nail polish, and dressing like an 80's washed-up rocker are... attractive? Yeah, riiight. The two were...

If you've wondered to yourself, "What the hell does Posh do besides blowing Becks?" It may or may not come as a surprise that Posh likes to blow his money too. Victoria Beckham was just given a $5 million dollar credit limit at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills. It's not just Posh either! Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz (ages 8, 4, and 2) are on a spending frenzy too, because nothing is more embarrassing than having...

Deerhunter will be there too! This year Keith and Sean outdo themselves big time with the 4th Annual Fuck Yeah! Fest, and the banging roster they've built. It's a two day show ($13/day or $24 for both days) that spreads itself over five age friendly venues in Echo Park. There's gonna be art, comedians, and over 50 bands. and i mean they'll have a little of everything from grat bands such as Whispertown 2000...

Come on Jimmy Fallon, just because you're some washed up SNL'er with a frightfully unlucky film carreer, and no chance of making anyone laugh, that does NOT give you a license to keep on pretending you're the Adam Sandler mini-me. Fallon is going to marry Drew Barrymore's business partner of ten years, after meeting on the set of that movie where Jimmy was doing a Sandler role. I'm sure she's a nice lady, whoever she...

My boy Carson Daly takes a lot of heat. People complain that he is a late night talk show hack, and that he is basically unwatchable. Sure he is not the leader of the pack, maybe not even close to the leader, but his show rocks and it's about time people appreciate it before he's replaced with someone even lamer. We'll admit that his opening monologue is always just a bunch of poorly delivered...

Are you sick of being predictable and want to avoid the obvious Sunset Junction this weekend, but you don't know whats crackin'? This Saturday at the Standard Hollywood the local riff-raff will be floating in a pool sipping a free Colt 45, getting the worse sunburns of the summer. Classy? Of course, nothing less for us here at LAist. The event is put on by Vice Magazine and Blow Up LA, and should be cool,...

Gift of Gab is the MC for the legendary rap duo Blackalicious. I've seen Blackalicious at the Glass House in Pomona Many years ago, and watched Gab keep a packed house in awe as spit out the hits, and took time outs to showcase his incredible freestyle abilities. Since then he's put out some solo stuff, has continued to be critically acclaimed, and remains a fan favorite. On August 15th (aka this Wednesday) Gift...

A few days ago LAist bought an 8th out of some surfer guy's living room for $60. He told us it was a cross between Hawaii's Maui-wowee and Northern Cali's Trainwreck, and that it was grown outdoors so it would have that sun-kissed, natural feel as opposed to the sometimes chemy feel of something grown indoors or with hydroponics. Pre-Smoke Examination: The large sphere-like nugs are fluffy, loose, and airy. They smell a little...

Anita Thompson didn't write some cutesy book about her husband. She didn't slap together stories from his famous and powerful friends. She isn't trying to be the new Hunter S. Thompson either. With her book The Gonzo Way, she explores Hunter's effect on American culture, his ability to find the fun in any given situation, and most importantly the philosophy he used to live his life. If all you know of Hunter S. Thompson...
