Let’s start with the fact that everything in the Universe is made of matter and energy. And, since we have all seen “The Secret”, we know that all energy vibrates. But, did you know that all individuals (whether it be plant or animal) has its own unique vibration; that each of us has a vibration that is as unique as our fingerprints or a snowflake? And then within each of us, every gland, organ or invading organism (such as a virus or bacterium) has its own vibrational value. So what if someone figured out that they could determine problems with your health, using those vibrations?

Our brain is going to explode with all the great choices tonight. From friggin' amazing jazz (see, we're not swearing) at UCLA to folk-punk sensibilities of The Hackensaw Boys at Tangier in Los Feliz (video after the jump), tonight is a bounty of gold. Also, Jim Bianco will be at Amoeba and it's the first night for Wednesday night March residencies.

For a band of two 16-year-olds and one 17-year-old, Din Caliber has a huge sound that's quite exciting. And Linda Perry, record label owner/producer (credits include Gwen Stefani, Pink, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilara), has her eye on them. The home schooled trio practices four to five nights a week for four hours and has played the House of Blues and a few shows at the Whiskey A Go Go. Tonight they play the Knitting Factory on the Main Stage. Also of note tonight is the North Mississippi Allstars who mix punk, rock and down-home blues (it's quite lovely). They'll be sharing the stage tonight with the Drive-By Truckers at the Avalon.

It's a sparklie!! The Aero Theatre in Santa Monica is host today to the 25th Anniversary (yes, really) of this 1982 masterpiece about a sick mouse, a sinking house, Dom Deluise as a crow in a blouse, and magic rats. I'd write more about it but I'm busy gathering my amulet. The Secret Of NIMH -- 25th Anniversary! @ The Aero Theatre Sunday July 29 1328 Montana Avenue Santa Monica 3pm...

Why wait until you get home to read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when you can read it on the sidewalk moments after purchase? That's what these three decided to do. And after a few pages in, what's the Harry Potter review? "Pretty good." That doesn't sound like much of an enthusiastic answer, but give 'em a break, they were at Borders in Sherman Oaks by 5:30 a.m. Luckily, it wasn't an all-day...

Normally, I don't get all that revved up about art gallery openings that are splashed across the front page of the LA Times' Calender section - it's virtually a guarantee that the place will be packed with people and run out of booze in an hour, but I made an exception for Glen Wexler's show "The Secret Life of Cows" at Track 16 Gallery, because I think cows are funny as hell and I'm...

Mark Wahlberg lights up TV screens this week as Shooter reaches the DVD shelves. I don't know about you, but this tale of double-crosses and revenge had a distinct late 80s/early 90s vibe to it for me. Did Sly pass on this script 20 years ago or was it Steve in '95?

Yesterday we introduced you to the book, Skinny Bitch, and today we bring you the Skinny Bitch herself, Rory Freedman. We were lucky enough to meet her at an event we told you about back in November while chowing on some Indian food. So listen up, here are her rants: 1. A few nights ago, my friend and I went to see an indie film called Shortbus that we knew almost nothing about. The little...

With the year winding down, LAist is asking famous celebs, local politicians, and other movers & shakers of LA to tell us what they thought were tops of 2006. Before founding PostSecret, Frank Warren grew up in the Valley and attended Colfax Elementary School with Adam Carolla. If you missed his book signing last month, you can catch him on January 15th at Borders Books in Torrance as he signs the next PS book, "The...

Now we're very confused. On Tuesday we reported that the Jewish Journal had written that the former Seinfeld star Michael Richards was not a member of the tribe. But this afternoon we read in Gothamist that the actor's newly hired PR man says that Richards is indeed Jewish. All of this stems from a new allegation that Richards once went on an anti-Semetic tirade on some audience members at The Improv in April. "He is...

For over twenty years the funky white boys from Fairfax High have been delivering the goods with their band the Red Hot Chili Peppers and last night at the Roxy for a super secret show to launch Microsoft's Zune media player, it's almost as if they were playing to each other. In fact, before one tune they improvised at all the bands that they had seen over the years at the Roxy. Typically the...

As you probably know, LAist is a huge fan of Mark The Cobra Snake. And ginormous fans of Shepard Fairey. But we're super freaky fans of public transportation, in fact LAist's editor's personal blog is called the busblog (busblog.com). So when we heard that The Secret Machines were going to play at Union Station, with guest DJ Shepard Fairey, with a special display featuring the work of The Cobra Snake we nearly kicked over...

• Cat Power will perform tonight at the Knitting Factory. The show starts at 8 PM and tickets are $15.

The Fire Rose production seems pleased to affiliate the performance with the Michael Chekhov technique. Technique, schmechnique, we say; good character parts are hard to find, and good character actors even harder. This is meaty material, mice and all. Alex Hyde-White's George shows us a man hovering on the brink of destruction, and Mike Rademaekers seems nothing short of born to play the role of the hapless and ill-fated Lennie. His edgy giggle and ever-flexing grip let viewers define suspension of disbelief. A group of capable players lend their hands in support. Granted, where there are Mice, there's cheese, and some moments of this two and a half hour show earn their unintended guffaws. And while we like to see theatre with attitude, we don't like our box office attendant-slash-hostess to have the attitude; a cheeky "I guess I'm supposed to welcome you to our show, so, like, um, welcome," announcement prior to the metaphoric curtain-up left a bad taste in our mouth and smacked of a saucy middle school class president making a snide speech at assembly. Give her the proverbial hook, get the show started, and give us another reason to remember that LA has good theatre.

Bob Hertzberg released his first campaign ad to a variety of reviews. Boi from Troy says “Message gets an "A" but the imagery gets a kinda-spooky "C",” while there are a variety of comments, positive and negative, on Mayor Sam’s Sister City blog.
