"De-clawed" (7/13/2005) Written by Craig Silverstein; Directed by Fred Gerber; Starring Amanda Tepe (Spikey Redhead), J.E. Freeman (Max Stern), Rich Sickler (Medical Examiner), Kristen Ariza (Sam Gavin), Heather McComb (Holly Lynn Krandall), Joel Moore (Brian Pines), Adam Lieberman (Russ), Tom Wright (Glenn Terry)
With Webster on probation, the VCU is interviewed by the FBI’s supervisory division. Meanwhile, a body turns up in the LA River. Two needles, with kaleidoscopes attached, have been punched into the eyes and the fingernails have been removed. The murder signature matches another victim found recently.VCU starts working on the case, with the supervisory agent investigating Virgil overseeing everything. Analyzing the bite marks on the fingers, a department expert creates a mold of the perp’s mouth and guesses that the perp is in his 70s. While the VCU is trying to get some hard evidence, a third victim turns up.
Using car seat fibers found on the victims, and tire tracks from the scene of the newest body, VCU searches for a 1959 AMC Rambler. One of the registered addresses is a record shop. At said record shop, Max, our criminal, reports to work. VCU sends Rebecca into the store on surveillance. Despite Rebecca’s protests, the FBI swarms the store to take down the young store owner. As Max is returning from a coffee run, he sees the FBI cars and heads the other way.The store owner directs the VCU to Max’s career as a comic book artist and the dark titles he wrote in the ‘70s. Examining Max’s boxes in the back of the shop, Agent Sim finds some kaleidoscopes. And a tube of human fingernails. But all they can do is wait until they find Max. Upset that the supervisory agent blew the stakeout, Rebecca visits Virgil. She asks him how to use their profile of Max to find him. Virgil tells her that if Max sees demons, thinks he’s killing demons, she should know well enough when demons strike.Following Virgil’s advice that we all stop where we started, Rebecca looks through old case files. She finds one on a prostitute murdered on Hollywood Blvd., her fingernails and left index finger chewed off. Rebecca theorizes that this was Max. After the murder, he got into illustration, which gave him an outlet for fighting demons. Now that that’s gone, however, he’s back to murder.While all of this has been going on, Virgil has hired himself a hooker. After dyeing her hair blonde and dressing her up like Max’s first victim, Virgil has her walk down Hollywood Blvd. Bait for Max. But as Max spots her, the FBI pulls Virgil off the scene, which they consider an active investigation area. Out on the boulevard, Max approaches Virgil’s girl and stun guns her. Meanwhile, the VCU is rushing to the scene.Realizing that Max couldn’t have gone far from the scene, the team rushes into a parking garage. Rebecca finds an old Rambler and Agent Love busts open the window and pulls out Max, his mouth filled with blood; Rebecca comforts Web's girl.With the case solved, the supervisory unit clears Virgil to return to work.
VINYL FETISH REVIEWS
CITY BEAT REVIEW - ALTERNATIVE GROOVES
Indie record stores are still thriving in L.A. Here’s a guide to some of the best
~ By MIKE SONKSEN ~
Vinyl Fetish
(1614 N. Cahuenga Blvd., Hollywood, 323-957-2290), with its extensive catalog of punk, goth, and new wave, is a monument to the glory days of ’80s KROQ. Originally located on Melrose, it’s now under new ownership and in a different place. “People come to this store to see me, because they know I’m the new wave/punk guru,” notes Andy Franzle, who’s managed the place for 15 years. The original location hosted in-stores for the likes of U2, Iggy Pop, the Smiths, Siouxsie & the Banshees, and the Ramones. Only Middle Earth Records in Downey has as many punk and new wave T-shirts, posters, DVDs, and records. Vinylfetishrecords.com.

LAist - Review
Noteworthy Records
Today in the Daily Trojan there appeared the article "Record Penny-pinching," a profile of the best record stores in Los Angeles. While LAist can't fault the need for such a list—and the conclusion that Amoeba Music is the best in LA—there are some fairly notable omissions.
Topping the list are Hear Music, Record Surplus, Virgin Megastore Hollywood, Aron's Records, Vinyl Fetish Records and Amoeba Music. Fine places, sure, but LAist finds fault with the skimpy selection. Los Angeles is brimming with excellent record shops that do not appear here.
So, to rectify such gross neglect, LAist would like to mention the following: Rhino Records, Sea Level Records, Penny Lane, Poobah Records, Canterbury Records, DMC Records, Scooter's Records, Fingerprints, Second Spin, Atomic Records, Kaos Records (formerly known as Hot Rocks) and the ever-present Tower Records, with special mention to the dearly departed Record Rover.

on the edge of boredom
We're reaching for death
on the end of a candle
We're trying for something
That's already found us" -Jim Morrison
