The Chavez Ravine—named of course after an infamous part of L.A. history—is the L.A. trio with Phil Guerrero on drums, Mando Lopez on bass and Manny Nieto on guitar and vocals, and between them they have a significant discography dating back to the 90s—and of course Nieto is a storied L.A. studio engineer (now at Suplex Audio) who's worked with Health, the Breeders, Tweak Bird, Traps PS and much more. They like to describe themselves as Devo meets the Wipers, but "Bermuda Triangle" has a nicely noisy Psychocandy-style love-song-gone-wrong feel. Says Nieto

Ferociously iconoclastic local producer Free The Robots—a.k.a. Chris Alfaro—always has something interesting on deck, and this time it's his very own installment of Bastard Jazz's Tempo Dreams compilation series, which is a showcase for producers (like B. Bravo, Tall Black Guy, Teeko, Pomo and Soul Clap) to present tracks they think deserve more attention. But besides putting together Tempo Dreams Vol. 5, Alfaro also knocked out some new work of his own:

L.A. quartet Dang Clēts (formerly Waldo) have just manifested their new single "Skip," a just-off-center AOR indie-pop song that seems less about the sunshine and more about the haze that burns off in the morning. It's got welcome personality and some subtle-but-knowing production tricks that make sure the weird moments are the winning moments. They'll be playing tonight at the Bootleg with Mosaics, Fime and Sports Coach—get tickets here!

Note to readers: As you would expect in a story about a sex advice columnist, this post contains some frank language about sex. Growing up in India, I had no sex ed in school. Sex was a taboo. Indian parents largely avoid the whole birds-and-bees talk. I'd never heard words like condom, intercourse, ejaculation or penetration spoken aloud. But I had read them in my local tabloid newspaper, the Mumbai Mirror , in a column called " Ask the Sexpert " — a source of guilty fascination for youngsters like me. There are stories of parents across the city clipping out the column before putting the newspaper on the breakfast table. It's India's R-rated version of Dear Abby, and it's written by an OB-GYN and sexologist, Dr. Mahinder Watsa. He introduced a generation of Indians to sexual topics many in this conservative society would rather not discuss. At age 94, Watsa is still answering sex queries. He lives with his granddaughter in a central Mumbai villa overlooking the Arabian Sea. His

A third man has been arrested in connection with a toxic batch of synthetic marijuana, called K2, that led to more than 100 overdoses between Tuesday and Thursday night in New Haven, Conn., according to officials. New Haven Police Chief Anthony Campbell made the announcement at a news conference on Friday morning, describing the latest suspect as a man with "a history" with the department. The suspect has not been publicly identified. Campbell also released the results of tests indicating that the K2 causing the rash of overdoses had been laced with a substance called fubinaca. "We've been trying to get the word out to make sure people understand please not to use this K2, it is clearly contaminated," he pleaded from the steps of City Hall. "One of the chemicals is fubinaca, which is really supposed to be, for whatever reason, knocking people down and taking them out." The Drug Enforcement Agency says AB-Fubinaca is found in numerous synthetic cannabinoid products smoked for their

The Trump administration has lost another round in its efforts to get courts to dismiss lawsuits challenging the citizenship question it added to the 2020 census . On Friday, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg issued an order allowing two cases filed at San Francisco federal court to continue. The ruling sets up a legal fight that may extend into the final months of preparation for the national head count. It follows an order last month by a judge in New York , who rejected the Justice Department's efforts to get two similar lawsuits filed by the state of New York, plus more than two dozen other states, cities and other groups, tossed out. The lawsuits in San Francisco were filed by the state of California — the first to sue after the new citizenship question was announced in March — as well as the city and county of Los Angeles, a handful of other cities in California, and the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, a California-based immigrant-rights group led by Black Lives Matter co
