  2. attn: Los Angeles

    I think my LA friends need to join my pal chris on the hollywood GLAMOURHIKE

    https://www.facebook.com/events/291757157549032/

    THIS SATURDAY AT NOON 

    “G L A M O U R H I K E”

    A Glamorous hike up the Griffith Park trail, starting from the observatory trailhead, all the way to the top, and then back again. Roundtrip is approx 2hr. 

    Dress in your Luxury, stick on your favorite hiking shoes, grab that water bottle, and join the family for some glitz and calorie blitz. 

    Youre gonna werk,
    Youre gonna sweat, 
    but,
    Youre gonna look good.

    PHOTOGRAPHY obviously encouraged, DISCO obviously provided.

    * *
    For those that wish to avoid the heavy parking, please arrive at the 2950 Marsh st. Dollhouse at 11 am. We’re gonna car pool party train it up there at 1130. 


    See ya’ll then.

    Key Losers - Metal Masks (from the album California Lite)

    From the Chicago Reader’s review of Key Loser’s “California Lite”

    An understated tribute to the Canyon rock canon, there are allusions to Joni, but it doesn’t sound like Joni, at least not in the way people usually do (think Hejira not Blue).California Lite comes on like pre-jazzbo-era Joni—relaxed in its complexities, not shy about its detours and chops; it’s feminine and confident. Davidson creates small, ephemeral hooks that do more to serve the song than your appetite for pop, and they reward a close listen with magnificent minor details. The album opens with “Metal Masks,” in which Davidson sings of freeway scenes, getting lost in the Santa Monica sunset, and car wrecks—like a modern Maria Wyeth (from Joan Didion’s quintessential L.A. novel Play It as It Lays), who endlessly loops through Los Angeles in her convertible. The difference is that Davidson’s “eating messy sandwiches” and “listening to Animal Collective.” “Metal Masks” maintains a steady burbling hum; horns pip and then fall into soft lulls, mimicking the rhythm of the road. Davidson’s sweetly imperfect voice, unadorned of effects, is of a different time. She often sounds wistful—but refreshingly, the subject matter isn’t some old romance. As she’s remembering light, landscapes, and driving, driving—always driving—she’s singing the language of Los Angeles.

People who have never been to Los Angeles probably don’t know that LA is obsessed with food.  Specifically donuts and hamburgers.  I would have never believed it had I not seen it myself - but you really cannot go more than 4 blocks without seeing a donut shop or two. 
This image is from Stans, in Westwood.  The whole corner smells like fried sugary heaven.

    Hey L.A.— what is UP?

    tvandtoast:

    1. How does one get In the Know of free screenings and things? My Google skills aren’t what they used to be and turns out new cities are overwhelming to get to know by yourself. 
    2. also, cheap eatz and/or coffee would be cool
    3. also also, if you want a ticket to Tuesday’s Community Paley Fest panel you should let me know because I accidentally bought a second one in my attempt to switch sections (vertigo’s a bitch, but I promise the seat doesn’t actually suck and if you get there early they might let you move down) and yeah.  Whoops.

    Okay cool post done!

    Reblogging because I have a lot of LA friends who might be able to assist.  TV&Toast - i can’t recall what part of La you live it - but that may be helpful - it’s a BIG city :) 

    I’m personally fond of Intelligentsia coffee, but it’s not cheap.  It’s in Venice on Abbot-Kinney.

     
  9. Listen up Los Angeles

    Oh HIIII LA tumblrs.  My sister just asked me today to come out to stay with her for a few days Feb 17-21, and she’s paying, so duh.  I’ll be there.  And this time there are really no other events that I have to go to, so can we please for the love of jeebus go out to dinner???
