Welcome back from the long weekend of infinite awards shows! Now BACK TO OUR REGULAR SCHEDULED Internet diversions!

1.) If you are anything like me, you watched the Golden Globes with your fingers crossed, praying for outrageous celeb reactions that could be made into hilarious animated GIFs. Famous people, you did NOT disappoint. (Jezebel)

2.) Speaking of the Globes, was I the only person to notice that Jake Gyllenhaal brought as his date Rilo Kiley frontwoman and girl-crush the world over Jenny Lewis? Doesn't she have a boyfriend? Just friends? Friends with benefits? "Sex friends"? Is Jake the male Winona? Discuss! (On The Red Carpet)

3.) BREAKING: Tiny Baby Animals Are So Tiny! (Buzzfeed)

4.) We've already established that the No. 1 way to improve your band's music video is by adding KITTEHS. Best Coast, we salute you. (ICanHasCheezburger)

5.) Gwen Stefani is the new spokeslady for L'Oreal. Perhaps you've already seen the TV spot. Don't get me wrong, Mrs. Rossdale looks FIERCE. But does she "talk words weird"? Like, at one point I think she says "rabbit"? (Idolator)

6.) Of all the James Lipton impressions out there, Will Ferrell's is the clear favorite. But mad props to Cee Lo Green for his epic self-on-self interview, complete with Eddie Murphy-style special fx makeup. (Aol.)

7.) Learning new languages is hard. Luckily, Deena Nicole Cortese, the newest "Jersey Shore" cast member, has published a dictionary explaining whatever foreign dialect that is she's speaking. (deenanicole.com)

8.) Hey, how have you been sleeping lately? Pretty good, you say? This video of a Filipino game show contestant lip-synching "I Will Always Love You" will change that. Forever. (YouTube)

9.) You know what talent won't win you the Miss America title? Ventriloquism. #themoreyouknow (Urlesque)

10.) And to end on a cautionary note, this is what happens When Parents Text. (whenparentstext.com)

Are you getting tired of all the music headlines going to new Brooklyn bands? I bet you the players in Los Angeles' thriving scene are way over it. Why's everybody always talking about Brooklyn when the West Coast boasts a dream team of new talent, turning out a steady stream of polished, moody rock?

Although the rap game gets L.A. plenty of love, lackadaisical, harmony-laden smog-pop hasn't had a true moment since The Beach Boys and The Mamas And Papas ruled the late '60s. But that has been changing, slowly but surely, thanks to the radio dominance of a new class of sun-bleached bands.

Get acquainted with the new L.A. sound in the video playlist below, featuring laid back, perma-tan jams from Jenny Lewis, Earlimart, Silversun Pickups, Pete Yorn, Beck, The Watson Twins, Cold War Kids, The Mars Volta, Incubus, Brett Dennen and many more. It's mellow. Whatever.
