Fun around town, for $10 or less:

In Los Angeles, LAist most definitely celebrated Thanksgiving like no other. After all, one has to keep up all the energy to keep on walking the line at the Writers Strike and fighting the unfortunate return of the wildfires in Malibu, which single handedly destroyed over fifty homes within the first 24 hours. National outlets may be covering the fires, but CNN also found it is easier to buy a gun than fruit and veggies in South Central. On the entertainment front, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are suing Showtime over the show titled Californication and Rami Kashou of Project Runway chatted with LAist about his Palestinian heritage and, of course, designing beauty.

This week, Phillyist saw the waters of a landmark fountain run red for a Showtime marketing stunt, the Phils pull ahead, and some serious nostalgia. They also got a chance to review an awesome tribute album, reminded folks to see the King, and appreciated their beautiful skyline.

Walking to work through Love Park today, we noticed that the fountain was off and the water had been dyed a dark shade of red (as opposed to October/Breast Cancer Awareness Month pink). A few people were milling about, installing caution tape around the perimeter of the fountain. We decided to investigate.

Londonist are starting to think their city is getting just a little bit too expensive, when even Christian Slater can't afford to go out there. And there's no escaping, as local singer Lily Allen discovered when she was barred entry to the US. The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth. But the smiles returned to Londonist's faces as they interviewed Baroness von Reichardt, who has completely covered her house in mosaic tiles.

Justin Solonynka has been performing his virtuosic piano blend of "Jazzical Fusion Pop 'n' Roll" for audiences throughout the greater Philadelphia area for the last ten years. He'll be performing at the World Cafe Live, Friday, April 13, 2007, at 7:30PM. Now this isn't just any performance, this is specifically for The Key of Hope benefit.

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

Last summer, some friends of ours - let's call them "Mom and Dad" - went to a concert celebrating a variety of Jewish artists. They thought they were going to see a klezmer band. But the show was running late, and what they saw instead was Matisyahu, a Hasidic Reggae artist. Sound a little odd? Mom and Dad were surprised too... at how good he was. Matisyahu’s rap skills are outstanding, and while his religious observance draws curious listeners, his unique sound is undeniably impressive. Born Matthew Miller in West Chester, PA, Matisyahu discovered both Orthodox Judaism and hip-hop in his teens. A little unusual, but the artist has gone on to prove that the two forms can go together like... well, pick any two flavor combinations that aren’t milk and meat. Earlier this year, Matisyahu thrilled audiences at music festivals SXSW and Bonnaroo. He’s this month’s XPN artist to watch and he’ll be performing at the World Café Live on Saturday – after Shabbat’s over, of course. Also impressive? Matisyahu will be on tour with Trey Anastasio this August – which has got to be a big thrill for a guy who once followed Phish on tour. If you're a reggae fan, or just fascinated by this artist, he's worth checking out... hey, listen to your mother! Matisyahu with State Radio
