  • What is the matter with you people? Why are there still tickets available for the Pixies show at the Greek theater tomorrow? What are you waiting for? Do you want to sit around for another ten years and hope they reunite again? Do you realize how old they'll be then? Or how old you'll be? Trust us: you'll be old. Do we need to remind you that the Pixies made one of the greatest...
  • We here at LAist love animals, who brighten our lives with everything they do, from police dogs who bravely sniff out cocaine in airport luggage to goldfish, who obligingly die just around the time your kid gets tired of feeding them. We've seen enough sitcoms and movies of the week to know that sometimes all the crusty, loveless old curmudgeon down the hall needs to warm his heart is a gritty, slobbering face-lick from...

  • Can you imagine if the host of the Grammys used his monologue to gripe about the popularity of rap music and how it was crowding the kind of music he liked off the charts? Or what if the host of the Oscars blurted out, "You know what? Sound effects editing is for hacks!" Well, what Garry Shandling did to reality television as the host of the Emmys last night was no different. Like it...

  • What would happen if you went to the Grove on a busy Sunday afternoon, stood outside one of the stores and started throwing things at people passing by? You'd probably be tackled by security in about five seconds flat.

LA wouldn’t be LA anymore if the guy next to you on the 101 wasn’t negotiating deal points on his script or the woman in the next lane over wasn’t breaking up with her long-distance boyfriend while merging in front of you.
