They did free museums twice last week and a concert at Pershing Square before we took them to the Dorothy Chandler for the LA County Holiday Celebration. They did Universal and Disneyland without us and we managed not to go broke with them here. - Julie and DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171789632682503752.post-16661786580127166092012-12-27T17:34:18.881-08:002012-12-27T17:34:18.881-08:00Editor's reply: Your question is a starting po...Editor's reply: Your question is a starting point for several worthwhile discussions. The LA Weekly is into indie alt rock; KCRW is into indie weird. KROQ was the response to KLOS (and before that, to the long-lost and still missed KMET). The Sound is very oriented to iconic music. Newbies, along with the album cuts of largely-lost "AOR" (album-oriented rock) radio, have no place to go on the dial. Hence, the web as the chief source of music for most people, these days. Southern Cal is overflowing with accomplished first-rate musicians in every conceivable genre, and uber-talented up-and-comers, again in every genre. Yet major media in L.A. chooses to focus on a very narrow spectrum. Some of that is quite "commercial" and some is certainly not. But there is no room at the inn for a LOT of good music. Presumably, your question comes after you have perused the offerings of other sites, including those connected with newspapers and radio. Frankly, we do NOT know of a site that covers a good spectrum of live rock performances in L.A., though we hasten to add that is not our forte. And seriously, we wish we could stop doing this for Folk-Americana and accessible classical and acoustic performances; we keep doing it because there is no other single source for most of what we cover. In fact, check the most notable folk and/or Americana and/or alt-country sites that report on live music in Southern Cal, and you're lucky to find 40% of what we cover (often, it's more like 15%). If anyone DOES know of any site that does better than that -- or a site that covers "real" rock in L.A., please let us know.- Larry, the editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329420705131672639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171789632682503752.post-70737198779771512282012-12-27T17:16:11.977-08:002012-12-27T17:16:11.977-08:00Do you know of anybody doing for rock in LA what y...Do you know of anybody doing for rock in LA what you do here for your kind of music? I find some things here I want to see, and I don't know where else to look for a good variety of real rock.
