 Los Lobos Goes Disney $18.98 A quality album all the way through. Makes me want to learn how to play the cuarto. Their version of "Vippity Do Dah" is like "Oh La La" from Colossal Head played by Jerry Garcia. The last track, "When You Wish Upon a Star/It's a Small World" is an instrumental and was way better than I thought it would be. I can't figure out how they manage to make every album sound unique and still sound like Los Lobos. It is consistent with decades of great music and an equally great live show. You can listen to the entire album on their official web site. The first listen made me want to own it.  Los Angeles, Portrait of a City $70.00 At last, the city at the end of the rainbow gets the Taschen treatment: a large, chunky, 570 page, visual history. This is more than just an ordinary picture book though because so many of the photos, after the Thirties, have been taken by named photographers (there are biographies of thirty-nine of them at the back of the book) and it's the mixing of their work and anonymous photos that I thought gave the book a special feel. Another interesting theme reflects the creativity of the city with the use of quotes from well-known historical books and movies that appear throughout the pages, nicely with a graphic of the jacket or poster. Having looked through the pages a few times it does seem amazingly comprehensive. The seven chapters run from 1862 to the last photo in 2005. Each starts with a several hundred word overview followed by a spread with a period map then by captioned photos. Cultural, political and sports personalities, architecture (including street scenes plus industry) and historic news photos are the dominant themes and I thought the selection was rather impressive, there doesn't seem to be any image that would make me say "Just why is that one included". What I really love about the book is its big page size. Pin-sharp photos from before 1940 are frequently run over a spread and look terrific as do news photos from later decades (all printed with a 175 screen). Tying in with the historical book and movie links throughout the book the back pages carry a recommended list of viewing, listening and reading material that sum up this intriguing city. A slightly similar photo book of Los Angeles but with images selected from the last few decades which might be worth checking out is Looking At Los Angeles, with many of the same well-known photographers as Jim Heimann's book. ***SEE SOME INSIDE PAGES by clicking 'customer images' under the cover.  Targus TCG417 17 CityGear Los Angeles Notebook Case $84.99 I bought this for functionality. I bought a 16in laptop and figured if I bought another one in a few years that happened to be bigger I wouldn't have to buy another bag. The 16in is my second laptop and the first was a 15.4in. The targus bag I had for that still worked great but it wouldn't fit the bigger computer. Loving that Targus bag I wanted another Targus this is the one I found that best fit what I was searching for. |
