Logan Hardware (2410 W. Fullerton) offically opens in January, but The Reader's Peter Margasak talks about their soft opening here.

Lady Gaga Infiltrates My iTunes
Sometimes I feel way involved in music, then other times I feel way behind the times.

Tankboy informed me that the new Them Crooked Vultures album leaked yesterday, then he informed me that it was awesome, and from what I've heard of it, I completely agree. I think track one sums it up best (particularly around 2:44):P.S. The entire album is streaming on YouTube.

Wow. Just wow.
Ever wonder what Wayne Coyne looks like naked? Find out plus much, much, MUCH more in the new Flaming Lips video for "Watching The Planets." As Stereogum said: (NSFW. VERY.) obvs. You can bet this one won't be showing up on MTV.
