There are always people making out at the bus stop on the corner of Rossmore and 3rd. Always different people, always making out. This is one curiosity.
I also wonder about this: why does all mopey, melancholy, angsty music come from developed, affluent parts of the west - places like Iceland, Sweden, the Pacific Northwest, and really joyful, happy music comes out of places ravaged by great conflict (South Africa, Mali, parts of the Middle East)? I think it's safe to say that the next Elliot Smith won't be from Ghana. Or that the next Fela Kuti won't be from Silverlake.
Addendum: Except for these guys, who are from L.A.
I kind of love them. Especially after this interview:
