About Me |
|
| I'm a freelance journalist covering primarily music and culture of the underground variety. You can see my work in the LA Weekly, Razorcake and a handful of other fine publications.I grew up in LA and have been actively involved in the club scene since I was a teenager, first as a DJ and, later on, as a writer. I spent my college years holed up on the fourth floor of LMU's student center while spinning records at KXLU, and then played at Coven 13 on Sunday nights. After college, I had residencies at Bang! and Beat It and promoted/DJed a club called Transmission.These days, I prefer to watch the scene with my tape recorder and notebook in hand. I truly believe that this is the best time to be a club kid in LA, probably because the real world is such a mess. Inside the DIY spaces, there's a heady mix of frustration and joy that is beautiful and inspiring. I'm happy to be able to document it.Here are some recent stories:The New Dark Age

You are Arthur Rimbaud - a vital, cannon-changing poet with a flare for tantrums. You tend to write in a fever, and have a liking for the disordered mind. Do't expect people to understand you, for you are ahead of your time. Which Dead Poet Are You? brought to you by Quizilla |

A Few Words on Surveys |

The Question of The Day |
|
| If a person who swears exhibits a limited knowledge of vocabulary, does the person who refers to another as a "fucking penurious shrew" have a poor grasp of the English tongue? Posted by Liz on Mon, 01 Jan 1900 12:00:00 PST |
