Rescue Dog of the Week: Major the American Bulldog/Husky Mix

November 20, 2011

Major is a young, male American bulldog/husky mix who was surrendered to a shelter because his previous family was moving. He has lots of energy and is a total lover of his human pals.

Ace of  Hearts is a 501c-3 dog rescue foundation dedicated to rescuing dogs—the day they are to be euthanized—from various Los Angeles shelters and placing them in loving homes. It does not take dogs in. It rescues only from shelters. Its adoption days are normally held every Saturday at  the West Hollywood  Petco at 508 N. Doheny Drive from 1-4 p.m. Click  here  for information on how to adopt a rescue dog from Ace of Hearts. Be sure to follow Beverly Hills Patch on  Twitter  and “Like” us on  Facebook .

Ernest Troost Live at McCabe’s

November 20, 2011
Ernest Troost Live at McCabe’s

Ernest Troost is an award-winning Los Angeles singer-songwriter and guitarist, whose new folk style is at the forefront of an American roots music renaissance. The renowned folk star’s new album, Ernest Troost Live at McCabe’s , blends folk, ragtime and Piedmont blues styles into a sumptuous symphony of simplicity. Ernest Troost is an Emmy-winning composer of more than 100 orchestral scores for Hollywood films and television, so the cinematic backdrop in his story songs comes from a unique perspective not shared by other folk musicians. As a songwriter, Troost composes songs that resonate with the pure authenticity of traditional blues and folk, but with a great freshness and contemporary relevance for 21st century audiences. “I just like writing acoustic music and, in fact, my style is very spare,” says Troost.

"California Brain" RapScallions

November 20, 2011
"California Brain" RapScallions

“California Brain” is a 2011 rock/hip hop song about Los Angeles by the rock band RapScallions from Hollywood, California. A song with lyrics critical of television’s American Idol , “California Brain” challenges performers dreaming of making it in the music business to stay true to their own dreams — to not sell out to a cookie-cutter path to recognition and stardom in Hollywood. This is the place The city of dreamers where angels are made Devils are born, money is stored And souls are picked up like street corner whores Cali is the place where you have to perform They will try to brainwash, they will try to conform Just stand your ground and go against the norm ‘Cause Cali is the place that will let you soar RapScallions’ aggressively-catchy sound fits into the rock sub-genre long dominated by fellow L.A. band, Red Hot Chili Peppers , but RapScallions definitely have a groove that is uniquely their own. Typical of California’s multicultural mix, RapScallions members each came from somewhere else to form their band in Hollywood.
