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?

Just like Christmas in July with all the stuff we're giving away today. It's important to catch good live acts when you can, and great if you can get to them while they're here. Next week Muse plays the Pavilion with The Cloud Room opening. Muse released their new album, Black Holes and Revelations only two weeks ago in the states and it's been charting high ever since. We've nabbed a sweet T, copy of the new release and a pair of tickets to the show on August 2 in the Bank of America Pavilion to hand over to the lucky winner. All we ask is that you drop us an email at bostonist.contest at gmail dot com with the subject Muse Contest and let us know you'd like to enter – since we've got to send you this stuff, an address where you can receive mail would also be helpful Contest is closed. All accounts of Muse's performance is that they're one stellar live act. (Pssst: in case you missed our mention, the bonus prize here is The Cloud Room set you'll get in on as well.)

that we want to kill anyone and everyone that makes a "something on a something" joke. But then we realized that there was no way we could ever win this fight, and, hell, if you can't beat them, we might as well join them. And with that, you have the theme of this weeks' Gothamist network post.
