Tonight Chicago-based hip hop artist Lupe Fiasco will be stopping by the recently opened Club Nokia. NY-based singer-songwriter Jonatha Brooke (LAist Interview) will be gracing the Largo at the Coronet. Prolific psych rockers the Entrance Band will be performing at Spaceland with LBC locals the Growlers. And, lastly, Sweden's own the (International) Noise Conspiracy will be playing a rather small room at El Cid. But we suggest heading over the the Echo to catch Canadian experimental garage rockers Women and Swedish psych rock group Dungen.

Charlie Sheen has had a busy few days. First, a strip club in New York has debuted their Charlie-Sheen-themed VIP room, reports TMZ. The Cheetah Club now has a private area bedecked with photos of our favorite philanderer, and for the small price of $2,000 an hour, anyone who wants to can buy a bottle of Dom Perignon and the services of two strippers (get it?).

We nearly kicked over the bong running to the computer to see if YouTube could confirm. And not...

Submitted and Written By Dan Collins For ice cream lovers, Scoops is the frozen jewel in the Heliotrope Corridor crown (also called the Bicycle Districk and Hel-Mel), just around the corner from the legendary punk rock pavilion on Melrose known as the Ukrainian Center. Today's urban sophisticate finds that nothing cools one down after a midnight bike ride's next day sun-soaked hangover more than gourmet ice cream at bargain prices. And Scoops has all the...

Eulogies Eulogies Dangerbird Records Release Date: 09/11/07 Peter Walker did the right thing when he decided to ditch the solo career for his band Eulogies.
