Peaches was in town for two days last week to rock the house and show all the Hollywood hipsters what it means to be comfortable with your body and own sexuality. For Peaches, this means wearing as little as possible throughout the show, guzzling a bottle of water so part of it streams down her chest, changing onstage into various getups with shoes to boot and making uncountable hand motions pointing to both her...

Tod Brilliant is a self-made eco-celebrity and decided his top 10 list to share with LAist readers would be about the most critical websites that will help you learn to save our massively fucked planet. Now in his words: Surely you've heard of me, seen my billboards, listened to my interviews. I'm grateful to LAist for giving me yet another venue to promote my mission. My apologies if I'm approaching overexposed status. My team...

Stiff competition for today's 4:20 video, but this clip from MadTV featuring "Tickle Me Emo" wins. I especially dig that the reference at the end to Hot Topic. Enjoy!...

A friend was gracious enough to drive me to the airport yesterday and send me off in good spirits for the holidays. She was playing this song as we drove and said the video was H-O-T and involved cloning. My response, uhm, awesome! The artist, Fedde Le Grand, the song "Put Your Hands Up For Detroit."...

We think Morningwood's "Nth Degree" is a catchy song and we love the lead singer Chantal's attitude. Did you see her on Letterman? Man! She is part rock n' roller, part what-you-see-is-what-you-get, and a great live performer. Now, best of all, has left NYC to habitate with us in our fair city. So LAist is proud to present Chantal's top 10 CD's of 2006: 1. Morningwood, Morningwood (umm, do I need to explain why...

Oh Janice. We love to watch her little train wreck. From the Surreal Life to the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, she is, ahem, one of a kind. And she makes no qualms about her being an absolutely crazy bitch, which in a weird way, we wish we saw more of this honesty. So enjoy this 4:20 video and let us know what you would want for your 12 days of Christmas....

Two phrases come to mind to describe Josh Radin (and opener Schuyler Fisk's) show. Smitten kitten and waxing nostalgic. The show started with his playing songs from his new album We Were Here but really Josh has not been here before. Selling out the Troubadour is quite a feat. His connections to fellow Northwestern alums Cary Brothers and Zach Braff have helped him along, but the Troubadour was all Josh Radin. And we were...

The Ist-community are fans of Ratatat. How could we not be when their album, Classics, is an electro-indie haven. Great guitar riffs, dance beats and sans vocal make it a fun album to share with friends. Our favorite song is Wildcat, and upon first hearing it went around for two days (to the dismay of our roommates) going "Raaarrrr." Followed by tropicana, a slow starting song that would fit perfectly into a movie where...

Do you have a secret to share? Or want to see what others have been dying to get of their chest? Check out PostSecret, a blogspot that has both funny and tragic anonymous secrets. New secrets are posted every Sunday, taken from postcards sent to their Maryland address. There are some that are slightly disturbing, and so it is great to see that a link to Hopeline is listed, so that no one should...

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. And if we weren't excited enough, then we found out that Jet actually played their very first U.S. show at...
