About Me

Welcome to the stately, austere, and incredibly official myspace page for Radio Free Silver Lake , a site dedicated to covering LA's fantastic independent music scene ... and beyond.

My Interests

To paraphrase the line from The Blues Brothers , "We like both types of music: indie pop and indie rock."

I'd like to meet:

Remember that moment in the movie True Stories when David Byrne turned to the audience and asked, "Does anyone really like music? I mean, really ?"

And you answered "YES!" (right before, you know, feeling suddenly self-conscious about talking out-loud in the theatre)?

Yeah, well ... you .
