After approximately 3 months here in what my fellow liberal friends like to call "the most beautiful section of hell," I have come to the conclusion that Orange County is bereft of music taste. Now, I have developed this opinion by taking random samples and surveys among approximately 100 ocean lifeguards and assorted other 'bros' in the area. It's gotten so bad that I have started to consider myself kindred spirits with people who have heard of Death Cab out here. When I talk about the whole Devotchka versus Beirut debate at work, they look at me like I am speaking Greek… Ancient Greek. I distinctly remember that godforsaken show playing Elliott Smith not once, but twice!! Where is all the Elliott Smith in Dana Point??? I suppose all my misdirected anger is actually quite deeply rooted in the fact that I MISS LA, especially UCLAradio.com. Make sure to catch all the good shows and enjoy the rest of summer up there for me in my city (ahem, Zero 7 at the H.Bowl). As soon as September rolls around, I'll catch you at the Troubador, Roxy, El Rey, Wiltern LG, and Spaceland. 

Con Amor,
