Categories:
Music Venues,

Neighbourhood: Silver Lake
I learned my lesson. I brought earplugs this time. I am so glad I did. I just had the second best night of my life. Really. This is only the second time in my entire life that I feel complete as a human being. Belle & Sebastian in San Francisco was…More »

Categories:
American (New),

Neighbourhoods: Mid-City West, West Hollywood
I've wanted to come here for a long time, but for someone reason didn't. I think I was intimidated by the fact that I had to make reservations as I was under 21 until quite recently. What's so intimidating about reservations? Nothing for a normal…More »

Neighbourhood: Echo Park
4.75 stars. I should just put 5 stars but I won't and here's why: Even though the people inside the venue are nice, the bouncers have a serious attitude problem to go around. Before they got the ID slider things, I went with my friend to a 21+ show…More »

Neighbourhood: Santa Monica
So last night I volunteered for the Angel Gala at MOCA. This is the annual party for KCRW "Angel's" i.e. people who donate at least $365 annually. The event was so nice. Open bar, great hors d'oeuvres, free reign of the museum and super nice…More »
5. Landmark Theatres
Los Angeles, CA 90064
(310) 470-0492
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhood: West Los Angeles
This is the theater I hold all others to. It is mind blowing in all respects. The tickets are cheaper than at Arclight for one. The employees are all super nice. The concession stand is out of this world (Australian candy?! yum!). The seats are…More »

You know that one place that you think of when you think of your childhood? That place that is so easy to slip into a nice memory and feel like the happiest kid in the world? For me. that's the Hollywood Bowl. My dad got season tickets for the Bowl…More »

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Eagle Rock
So I was scanning Castledoor's up coming shows and I saw "Eagle Rock Bowling and Drinking Club Prom." Say what? One of my favorite bands, bowling, drinking AND crape paper? Life is beautiful!
I posted this event on Yelp because it sounded so cool,…More »
8. Little Radio Warehouse - CLOSED
Los Angeles, CA 90021
Categories:
Radio Stations,
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I found out about Little Radio Summer Camp on Tuesday and on Saturday I was there. For $15 you get a water slide, pool, AstroTurfed parking lot, great recorded music, great live music...oh yeah and FREE and UNLIMITED alcohol. OK, the alcohol is Cult…More »
9. Malibu Performing Arts Center
I went here for the first time tonight. An intimate venue with fantastic acoustics, there are only about ten seats in the 500 seat theater that have an obstructive view. The seats (although I didn't sit down) are super comfortable. The stage is a…More »
10. Wiltern Theatre
Los Angeles, CA 90010
(213) 388-1400
Categories:

Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Koreatown
I just saw, I don't know, my 1000th show here tonight. OK, maybe not 1000th, but I have probably been here about 40 times in the last five years. For it's size and for the names that come through, it is a fantastic place to see a show. There are 100…More »

(323) 464-0808
Categories:
Music Venues,

Neighbourhood: Hollywood
I really like this venue. I don't think I've ever not sat in the balcony. The seats which used to be oh-so uncomfortable now have plus cushions on top of them. The sound isn't mind blowing, but it's quite adequate for the venue size. The bands that…More »
12. Century Cinedome 8
Dude, I'm not super street (or street at all) but these people need to smarten up and get over themselves. Duh don't go here at night. Duh it's a cheap movie theater so people won't always be "Arclight Caliber." Duh. Just duh.
If you go during…More »

Los Angeles, CA 90028
(323) 245-6400
Categories:

Still a four star place, but now at the low end instead of the high. My favorite part about Amoeba was that they had anything my heart desired. Well, let me tell you about the crushing disappointment I felt this past week when they didn't have half…More »

Amoeba is a cruel mistress. The first two times I came here I didn't buy anything. I was so… Read more »
14. AMC Burbank 16
I miss the AMC Burbank 14. I really, really miss. It was 'my' theater. When I was younger my family would go here at least twice a week. The perks of being a producer's daughter is that going to the movies is a business expense.
Times changed, I…More »
15. Laemmle Sunset 5 - CLOSED
This is an institution like no other. They usually have the best movies of all the Laemmle's. It's old and the legroom is nonexistent, but it's still a great place. I once saw Jeff Goldblum there so I give this place an extra star.
There…More »
16. Indie 103.1
Los Angeles, CA 90036
(877) 900-1031
Category:
Radio Stations
Neighbourhood: Mid-City West
I like Indie. I like it a lot more than other music radio stations (not counting KCRW which for most of waking/non working hours is not music even though I love it, sorry for this parenthetical ramble). I like that it isn't owned by Clearchannel…More »

Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Hollywood
Every Tuesday when I was 16/17 you could find me at The Blue Beat Lounge in the Alerknit Room. Local ska bands every Tuesday in a very relaxed setting. Sure, since I wasn't 21 I had no in/out privileges and thus condemned to a night in a small, hot…More »

Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhood: Griffith Park/Los Feliz
I went to see Sex and the City (for the second time) last week. The friend I was seeing it with refuses to go to Arclight and pay Arclight prices. I found this place online and since she just moved down the street in K-Town we decided to check it…More »

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Mid-City West
The El Rey is cool for all ages shows. I used to think it was the *best* venue. Although I don't think this way anymore, I don't mind going here. Parking is ok if you get there on the early side. The BBQ place connected to it is decent. Here's the…More »
20. The Troubadour
West Hollywood, CA 90069
(310) 276-6168
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: West Hollywood
This is an ok venue. Genius layout. The place reminds me of a shoebox. Most places would put the stage on the back wall. Not here. The stage is on one of the longer side walls. This ensures that a lot more people are able to get to the front of the…More »
21. Arclight Hollywood
It's no Landmark, but Arclight Hollywood is nice. Much, much nicer than the Arclight Sherman Oaks. There is a less than stellar concession selection, but the popcorn is always fresh and hot. The ticket price used to seem really expensive, but other…More »
22. Plant Sixteen Theatres
After dark, when the Century 8 gets a little too, well, it's not as safe, I go to the Plant Sixteen. There's a frick'n police station in the parking lot. What more could you ask for safety wise? Sure, the theater's not all that. Older seats and bad…More »

I try to stay away from the House of Blues, always have, always will. It wasn't until the last time I went that I realized why.
The last time I went to the House of Blue was with my cousin. He, okay we, really like Reel Big Fish. I had seen them here…More »

Categories:
Music Venues,

Neighbourhood: West Hollywood
I had never been here and figured I should. We got through the rude doorman, the apathetic chick at the register, and got up stairs to be affronted by the distinct smell of Nag Champa with the underlying smell of shit. Otherwise known as the smell of…More »

Sherman Oaks, CA 91423
(818) 501-7033
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhood: Sherman Oaks
I hate hate HATE this place. I tried it twice, both times I had to pop an Advil after because the seats are so uncomfortable. The decor is cheap looking. It kind of looks like how I decorated my room when I was 14: lots of see through fabric over…More »

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Canoga Park
This place was awesome when I was fourteen/fifteen. My friends and I would go all the time. We knew it was skeezy and not too great but it was "ours." Then the Emos took it over. I haven't been back since 2002.
I don't know how it is now, but the…More »

Los Angeles, CA 90005
(213) 385-0521
Ok, admittedly I was drunk when we stumbled on to this place. Never say that a night of Murder Mystery is a quiet night with friends. It is just one huge hangover waiting to happen...or maybe that's the multiple shots of a mysterious Korean alcohol…More »
28. Pacific Sherman Oaks 5
I remember when this theater was built. It must have been around 1990. It was the cool new theater across the street from the General Cinema 2. It was by far the nicest theater in the east valley. Then the 1994 earthquake hit and all five screens…More »

I had heard wisps about the Bootleg for the last six months or so, but I hadn't really followed through in seeing who was playing. This was more for wallet preservation than anything else. I have to choose my battles carefully or my music weakness…More »
