A sad week for LAist as they lose their trusted and amazing editor Tony Pierce to the LA Times, but what a blast his last week was. He shared his 25 Favorite CDs of 2007 and wrote a great review of just a good movie, No Country For Old Men. At UCLA, thousands of students celebrated the end of their quarter by running around campus in their undies (lots of photos in a two-part photo essay, one, two). That wasn't the only photo essay either: Joss Whedon/Mutant Enemy friends and Star Trek actors all joined in at the Writers Strike and KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas brought two nights of amazing bands that included Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park (Part I), Modest Mouse, Muse, Spoon and The Killers (Part II). Not only is L.A. a great music town, it has just been named the best city for bookish types. For those who are looking for something a little more active, American Gladiators are back (yes!) and if that's not enough, how about a Christmas gift of action and adventure?

When we go to review events (or at least when this Phillyist does), we generally go into them with the presumption that we're going to really enjoy them. Unfortunately, doing so can really set us up for disappointment. And Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution was really something of a letdown. We're not quite sure who to blame for that: the bands, the day's sound engineers, or the Vans Warped Tour, where we had such a good time a few weeks ago. All day long, we couldn't help but compare the two all-day multi-stage festival-style concerts. And Warped Tour was superior in just about every way.

Summer's winding down—or at least that's what the weather has told us the last few days—but one of the big "festival" concerts is coming through town this weekend, so the summer can't quite be done yet. Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution tour hits the Tweeter Center this Saturday. In addition to headliners Linkin Park, the tour features My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, HIM, and a number of others. Plus, the Major League Baseball Road Show featuring batting cages and video game kiosks will be at the show, so if there are any bands you're not interested in seeing, you'll still have some fun stuff to do.

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you.

AOL, a Live 8 partner, has announced a broadcast lineup for its online coverage of Live 8. Considering how chaotic Live 8 planning has been, this could be flipped and reversed and scrapped entirely by Saturday morning, but it gives us a first glimpse at how Saturday might go down. You know, aside from the predictions of large riots. And no, that's not a Kaiser Chiefs joke, but it works out as one in retrospect, doesn't it? 12:33 - Bon Jovi
