About a year and change ago I moved to Los Angeles from Chicago. I loved Chicago and everything about my time there, and it's easy to get to LA and knock everything. It's very easy actually, especially when you lived somewhere that is great without even fufilling it's full potential. However as someone who has moved as much as I did in my life you learn that it isn't worth mulling over the shortcomings of a location when potential exists as well. So I started thinking about things I really liked about LA and try to focus on those until everything else grew on me (or wore me down depending on opinion), plus you always need positive talking points when interacting with people who've been here longer. Things like weather and landscape are obvious. My entertainment related career benefits are greater  here.

But one of the things I really enjoyed was Indie 103.1. It made a"musically retarded" person into something more savvy by mere osmosis. Sure there were times they played certain songs ad nauseum, some which drive me f-ing insane , and occasionally the corporate influence could be noticed (don't tell me an Amy Winehouse song is new when we all heard the album a year and half ago), but it was still the best option out there and the shortcomings were forgivable. 

Since this hole appeared in my life I've been at a loss for what to listen to on my commutes or occassional runs to the valley. I've been listening to my iPod a lot but I know even that can hit a saturation point quickly. I suppose I'll just have to pick up the pieces and move on.
