I endorse all of these shows. I should be lucky to attend most of them. Classical Geek Theatre is written by Ben "Mouse" McShane.

I got a collected thoughts post cooking, but not sure when I'll be able to knock it down. In the mean time, here's some ideas of stuff to do. (And as always, You Set the Scene is an indispensable resource .) TONIGHT, Friday November 13 th Friday the 13 th , ya'll ! I might suggest you go see ...

The Raveonettes at The Henry Fonda Theatre o1-24-09 Earlier in the year I caught The Raveonettes at The Henry Fonda Theatre and was absolutely floored. I'd previously written them off as a B-list band, but was proven wrong as they have absolutely perfected loud, fuzzy teenage pop. They play ...

I posted a flier in a Collected Thoughts post last week, but I wanted to make a dedicated post to mention The Happy Hollows ' residency at Spaceland this month. I've said most of all I can say about this band over the years, and I summed it all up pretty well in my review of their new record ...

Props to the folks at KIA for throwing a great free event last night to those who test-drove a KIA soul. SSPU were predictably outstanding. I think that is one band that could not exist with any further lineup change. You know what I love about Brian Aubert? I'm sure he's had days where the ...

This Sunday, November 8th is another edition of Kidrockers at The Echo . The bill features The Henry Clay People (back from their, what is it, third US tour now?) and "special guests." ( some silverlake players, undoubtedly ) The show goes on at 1pm. The catch? You need a child with you to get ...

"'Smooth Noodle Maps' is a criminally under-rated album. It’s hard to tell if the record is a sincere attempt (and success) at symmetry-perfect new wave or a searing send-up of the genre Devo helped pioneer. Either way, it ages much better than the other later entries into the Devo catalog. ...

We here at CGT have been behind Seasons for a good while now. I still think that if they just had a little label and publicist support that they'd easily be a small success story. All they do is write great songs and play energetic shows, after all. Thrillhouse Productions has made a video ...

I hate the show Glee . I've never seen it but I really hate it. For one, it brings-out the worst in my theatre and acting friends. It's always annoying when someone else likes something, but nothing is more annoying than an actor who has found something new to be excited about. Rent , Wicked ...

Where has Death to Anders been since May? Actually, I have a really good idea because I used to live with their singer / guitarist Rob Danson . But I totally can't divulge any details! Fortunately, Rob and Nick Ceglio will be conducting an interview this week to clear the air of farts and ...

I'd not been down to the Staples Center since the Nokia Live Theatre L.A. Live Complex was completed, which is sort of like having not been to New Orleans since the hurricane, if the hurricane was a cluster bomb of blazing light fixtures. The area is not merely a collection of venues, but an ...

I'm big fan of JAX and I will call your attention to anything JAXART Records puts out into the ether. The LA-based boutique label has two records out this week. The first is the Bellyflop EP from Rademacher . I first heard these tracks when Rademacher frontman Malcolm Sosa came to town and ...

Thanks to everyone who came out to the CGT-presented night of the Correatown residency at The Echo last Monday. Correatown was, predictably, marvelous and I got to spend some good time getting to know Angela herself, who is as awesome as you'd think. But I thought The Hereafter stole the show. ...

A review of Echo and the Bunnymen (amazing) sometime this week. Until then.... this is what I'm doing with my old PC and my next 30 weekends. I forgot to draw that the cabinet sits on casters. Classical Geek Theatre is written by Ben "Mouse" McShane.

I'm gonna get a bit corporate on ya'll. KIA has devised a truly inspired promotion : they're doing a ten-city tour where anyone who test-drives a KIA Soul gets admission to a free concert. Los Angeles gets SSPU , Janelle Monae , Fool's Gold , and Diplo . So here's the deal: On Thursday, November ...
