  1. #California - #WildlifeCorridors and #HabitatConnectivity

    #CLAW envisions a connected network of habitat throughout the #SantaMonicaMountains, and beyond.

    "For thousands of years, wildlife has been traversing the Santa Monica Mountains along well-established migratory patterns in order to find food, water, shelter, and mating opportunities. As urban sprawl spreads through this region, access to these routes becomes blocked or dangerous.

    What CLAW is doing

    CLAW is taking a multi-pronged approach to protecting connected habitat blocks and wildlife corridors in #LosAngeles.

    - Wildlife Corridor Ordinance: CLAW successfully advocated for the City of Los Angeles to designate the eastern Santa Monica Mountains (between the 405 and 101 Freeways) as LA's first #WildlifeDistrict. The City Planning Department’s preliminary work for this ordinance can be seen in the Wildlife Pilot Study.
    UPDATE: In December 2022, LA City’s Planning Commission voted to support the Wildlife Ordinance! The last step before a full City Council vote is the Planning and Land Use Committee. Follow our advocacy on this ordinance here.

    - Land Acquisition: CLAW and partner organizations fundraised over $1.6 million to acquire 17 acres of critical connective habitat in #LaurelCanyon in our Let's Buy A Mountain campaign. CLAW's nature cam documented the use of this land by multiple species of animals, including mountain lion and gray fox. This land, one of the largest parcels in the eastern Santa Monica Mountains, is a keystone portion of an established wildlife corridor.

    - #ConservationEasements: CLAW holds a conservation easement on a parcel of open space habitat in the Santa Monica Mountains. Conservation easements are binding agreements that ensure the land will remain natural and undeveloped in perpetuity.

    - Corridor Watchdog: In April 2018, CLAW filed an appeal against the approval of an 8,000 square foot house planned for development over an ecologically unique hillside stream area with multiple protected trees. The Los Angeles Planning Department failed to properly evaluate the importance of this land as a wildlife corridor connecting two crucial habitat hubs. Unfortunately, this construction project is continuing with full approval. CLAW will continue to monitor critical connective habitat sites to ensure that environmental review is thoroughly analyzed and considered."

    This week we’re caught in #Indecision

    James Taylor, “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight” from One Man Dog (1972)

    Lyric:
    Go away then, damn you, go on and do as you please
    You ain't gonna see me gettin' down on my knees
    I'm undecided, and your heart's been divided
    You've been turnin' my world upside down

    ( #MisheardLyrics side note: For years I heard that as “Go away then, Daniel” - and there was this Daniel, see…💔)

    The whole “One Man Dog” album is kind of quirky, with short passages gluing the more conventional songs together, giving it a herky-jerky quality that keeps it from feeling like just another gentle #LaurelCanyon #SingerSongwriter outing.

    Those song fragments don’t stand on their own, so this album is best listened to all the way through, but "Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" is a beautiful ballad filled with longing, slipping into your ears with Taylor’s smooth voice, complete with sax solo. Cliché? Maybe, but another word for cliché might be “standard,” and songs become standards for a reason - and to me this song is as lovely and timeless as any standard in the so-called Great American Songbook.

  5. Ok, so here's the "bad" demo… I know I'm no Joni Mitchell, but really just need reassurance that it's not WORSE than average… (lyrics in track description)

  7. Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover, and the rollicking album art on Bad Decisions, the latest EP from Eddy Lee Ryder, lets you know what you're in for. With puckish hints of Zep and Heart in her Laurel Canyon stylings, Ryder's EP is a fantastic trip

  8. If you enjoy this style of music, and the era, this documentary is highly recommended.

    Oh… speaking of sacred cow cults, stumbled across this one earlier today (it's cold out, I'm bored) youtube.com/watch?v=Ml8RmDXBM9 (which dutifully also cites the late Dave McGowen's also fun book about the music industry connection)

  10. The astute lyricism & throwback folk of Leah Senior's new LP is hitting the spot today. Unashamedly sounding like it came out of the Hollywood hills 50 years ago - where it would have held it's head high, the comfortingly familiar compositions & consummate musicianship are the perfect companion for her enlightened introspection & self-aware musings on the creative process.

  11. Musician Randy Meisner, founding member of the Eagles who supplied the soaring high harmony vocals on the group's biggest, earliest hits, is dead at 77. theguardian.com/global/2023/ju #randymeisner #riprandymeisner #eagles #music #laurelcanyon #copd #arts #obits #obituaries #restinparadise #rip #deaths #whodied

  12. REVIEW: On Circumstance, Alice Howe's voice shines like the truth, invoking her formative years in Seattle, the Laurel Canyon music she grew up on, and the Muscle Shoals soul that inspired her while recording in FAME Studios.

  13. #PaulKantner of #JeffersonAirplane died on 28 January 2016, on exactly the same date as Airplane co-founder Signe Toly Anderson.

    A prolific member of the #LaurelCanyon scene, Kantner wrote Wooden Ships with #DavidCrosby and recorded a concept album with Crosby, Nash, Jerry Garcia et al.

    Crosby nicknamed Kantner and Grace Slick, then a couple, “Baron von Tollbooth & the Chrome Nun”, which became the name of a 1973 album. Rolling Stone called Kantner and Slick “the psychedelic John and Yoko”.

  14. @HumanGadfly I think Crosby inspired the role but the actor is #DennisHopper.
    I loved the recent Echo in the Canyon which featured interviews with Crosby and the many musical connections made in #LaurelCanyon.

  15. This #house at 8217 Lookout Mountain Ave. in #LaurelCanyon #LosAngeles is where Joni Mitchell lived with Graham Nash and inspired the Crosby Stills Nash & Young song “Our House”

    “Such a cozy room, the windows are illuminated by the evening, sunshine through them, fiery gems…”
