"Well, I was thinking of taking you on a cultural tour of L.A." "That's the first fifteen minutes, then what?" Let's face it...LA can occasionally feel like a bit of a wasteland. It's impossible to live here without, sooner or later, embracing the stereotypes - says me, the vegetarian who works in entertainment. On the bright side, being an Angeleno does make it easy to pull out random seemingly impressive star-related antidotes at dinner parties. [...]

We're all for bold progressive ideas in the business and so we're very honored to be presenting Origami Records' showcase at the Echo tonight featuring performances
The L.A. band Army/Navy were pitched to us as a "new indie pop gem," and if there's one phrase that will get me clicking on the MP3s in my e-mail, it's that one. (Publicists, take note.) "Saints," which we've posted below, is a shimmery bit of jangle that sounds like the offspring of distorto-pop heroes Teenage Fanclub and Tiger Trap (the harmonies on the chorus make my knees weak); if you're into that, you should definitely check out "My Thin Sides," which is on their MySpace page and which sounds like a lost Orange Juice track [...]
