I’ve been jamming to ‘The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl’ album all day. Fantastic for many reasons, one of which of course is their live recordings are few and far between.

Maybe my most memorable L.A. birthday was at Kate Mandellini’s. Probably would have been the regular spot if it still existed.
