First Amoeba Music scored a "secret show" featuring Paul McCartney, and now Ringo Starr is coming to town. Amoeba announced tonight that Starr and Dave Stewart will play an exclusive short set at the House of Blues this Friday to promote the release of Liverpool 8, Starr's new album. In order to be guaranteed entry, you must be one of the first people in line to purchase the new CD at Amoeba Music on Tuesday morning. The only other way to reserve a place is to win a pair via a KLOS on-air giveaway. All others must wait in line at the HoB beginning at 9 a.m. Friday morning.

Fuck Bill Plaschke. Fuck TJ Simers. Fuck the LA Times. Fuck Grady Little. Fuck Ned Colletti. Fuck Frank McCourt. Fuck Jeff Kent. Fuck the Dodgers. When I read Plaschke’s column Wednesday morning that basically put Matt Kemp in the hangman’s noose, my blood started to boil. How does he have the unmitigated gall to scapegoat Kemp and let the veterans have a free pass just because they have “experience”? This entire mess became public...

We may have naysayed in the past, but it looks like the Olympic movement for LA is finally coming together -- with some help from the movie industry. Apparently, the 18-34 demographic is losing interest in the games -- so LA is committing to bringing it back, by presenting us with this video produced by Dave Stewart (of The Eurythmics) called Battle Olympia:
Sample these tracks and let us know what's in your iPod playlist this week.

Local Rock Missing Summer [download] A horns section and dreamy vocals make us lament the passing of summer, even if there is only one season here. You can hear the band at Spaceland on November 22 with the Clean Prophets. |

| Ernie
Halter |
Local Soul Love in LA [free MP3 | download] Despite the title, the song is about looking for (and never quite finding) love in this great city. Nevertheless, we still love this song and Halter's rich vocals. See him live at Hotel Cafe on November 30 with the equally talented David Ryan Harris. |

| Terra Naomi |
Local Rock The Vicodin Song [myspace | buy CD] At first listen, Naomi sounds a bit like Beth Hart or Heather Nova, but this LA-based singer has more grit than Nova and less brass than Hart: "I got a pocket full of pills and not one lover / And I'm feeling so bad and so good / I don't know what to do." See Naomi live at Hotel Cafe on November 18. |

| The
Dollyrots |
Local Punk Rock New College [free clip | download] This adrenaline and lyric-packed ditty pulls inspiration from Blink 182, Green Day and Blondie. It's pure SoCal fun with a sardonic edge. If you like what you hear, then catch the band live at Spaceland on November 26. |

| Eurythmics |
Mainstream Rock I've Got A Life [video | download] They aren't local, and this is a greatest hits album. So why chose this CD? First of all, their influence can be heard in today's artists. And second, their unmistakable sound holds up to the test of time. Annie Lennox is still in fine vocal form. We hope she continues to release material, with or without Dave Stewart. |
The film is very entertaining, if lightweight; it's sexy, stylish and has a groovy soundtrack showcasing the talents of Dave Stewart and Mick Jagger. Jude Law's performance finally delivers on the promise of his turn as Dickie Greenleaf in "The Talented Mr. Ripley." We've never seen Law so relaxed and funny.
