MyFOX Los Angeles Poses Age-Old Question: What’s (MyFOX)LA’s Best Venue?

myfoxLAvenuesDiscontented with Citysearch’s firm declaration that Backstage Bar and Grill in Culver City is the best venue in Los Angeles, 2009 – and blatantly throwing mud in the eyes of the 53% of NBC Los Angeles readers’ votes for the Troubadour earlier this year, MyFOX Los Angeles now poses the verysame yet apparently never-tired question in an online post-Labor-Day poll: What’s the best venue in Los Angeles? Choices at press time include:

  • Alex Theatre (Glendale)
  • The Glass House (Pomona)
  • Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza (Thousand Oaks)
  • Crash Mansion (Note: no longer in business; formerly downtown, Los Angeles; last known booking occurred roughly one year ago. Do not let this dissuade you from voting for Crash Mansion)
  • Awakenings Coffee House (Lomita)
  • Haugh Performing Arts Center (Glendora)
  • The Canyon Club (Agoura Hills)
  • World Famous Goodfellas (Rancho Cucamonga)

Plus a few places in Los Angeles just for good measure, what the hell. So, which is it, LA? Get out the vote! (Note: You must register at MyFoxLA before voting for Crash Mansion, T.O. Civic Arts Plaza, World Famous Goodfellas Rancho Cucamonga or any of the other venues not actually in Los Angeles above for best venue, Los Angeles.)

Advice Rampant Speculation Song of the Summer

Ask Losanjealous: What’s the Song of the Summer, 2009? (UPDATE)

Summer ’09:

One song clearly transcended the pack. No matter where you were or what you were doing, chances are very high you heard this song sooner or later. It gobbled up radio time. Television time. Ended up on the decks at the clubs and the poolside Bar-B-Qs. Piped its way into the dressing rooms at Ross Dress For Less, helped you choose wine while shopping at Vons and was used liberally for car speaker testing material down the way at Best Buy. Filled your head. Got you moving. You literally could not escape it. Mayhap you hate it now, or pretend to, but the fact remains that it’s very likely that you loved this song at one point. Prior reader guesses have all been taken with some merit, sure, but the Song of the Summer, 2009 (SOSD ’09) has not yet been mentioned by name. Said song contains but eight letters:

summersong

What could it be?!?
