State of Grace – Jon Quick and the LA Kings Skin San Jose

by Tony Shea May 1, 2014

If you’re an LA Kings fan you were undoubtedly hung over this morning from getting stinking drunk on joy juice last night – that seldom distilled 180 proof adrenaline that occasions sweet glorious victory. Last night the Kings defeated the San Jose Sharks to win the Stanley Cup! Wait, that’s wrong. Impossible in fact, but […]

Good Mistake – Mr. Little Jeans [Addictive] – SONG of the Day

by Tony Shea April 4, 2014

image via My favorite music coming out of Los Angeles right now is Mr. Little Jeans. This song “Good Mistake” is becoming some kind of addiction, I’m afraid. I keep scratching trying to get to the bottom of it, but I can’t seem to get there, listening to it over and over. Maybe’s it because […]

Sunday : Andrew Rannells (Elijah) After a raging girls night out, you need a boozy brunch that may or may not turn into a boozy lunch and shopping for the perfect vegan wedge boot. Elijah is amazing at filling in the gaps in your memory and piecing together the previous night – how DID you […]
