I swear to God I did not pose someone in a creepy frock in front of the truck. They were standing there when I got there. Goths eat ice cream too, you know. Especially when summoned by the music of the dark overlord | photo by Elise Thompson for LAist digg_url = 'http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Satan_s_Ice_Cream_Truck'; I heard it for the first time a week after moving into my new house -- the jangly strains of the......

I don’t believe in spoilers, I just believe in me. And Homer. While The Simpsons have never faded from public view, the last few years have seen their franchise popularity wane ever so slightly; their eighteen year marathon hitting something of a plateau. So when I first heard murmurs of a feature film, my worst fears surfaced -- What if no one cares about The Simpsons anymore? What if the entire campaign gets ignored......

Only a few days left to get tickets to Edward Scissorhands -- no not the movie, the musical playing at the Ahmanson Theatre until December 31st. The touching and Gothic Tim Burton fairytale has been brought to the stage by Matthew Bourne, who devised, directed, and choreographed the show in London. This breathtaking dance sensation is performed to the original movie soundtrack written by Danny Elfman with a live string orchestra. It has beautiful......

Like Vincent Gallo, LAist dates girls half our age. So the other day when one of our gfs was reading some older posts, she objected when we made fun of Panic! at the Disco, an easy target if ever there was one. Although it's very difficult to debate the musical plusses of a group like PATD with a young lady who has clearly lost her mind, at some point we, too, lost our mind......

They are Las Vegas launched into space on a 70’s sitcom. They are Edward Gorey, the musical (with a little of the kitsch of that Buffy The Vampire musical episode which we kinda thought rocked in its own special way). They are unorthodox histrionic pop eccentrics whose musical shifts, feel, and key changes are an abusive form of Mozart, Queen and Danny Elfman/Oingo Boingo. This is Pilotdrift. Tonight they open up for Supergrass at......
