"So, what do you think is fair?"

My cousin and i were talking about the Great City of Culver City. If your not a local, C.C. seems like a quiet suburban-esque town in the West L.A. You can't really blame them. We have like one of everything; mall, trophy shop, hardware store, etc. And up until a couple years ago we only had one theater. Funny thing is, Culver City's the farthest thing from a quiet, suburban town. There's so much going on in this little God-forsaken bubble that's east of Venice. We have a bit of everything. Crime, gangs, drama, drugs. It's a trip. There a few gangs here and all it takes is 15 minutes to get form one side of town to the other. Plus, you got all these tagger kids runnin' around, half of them being stupid lil hipster kids. The police make a big fucking deal outta everything. Pretty soon they'll be handing out tickets for breathing. And there are so many fucking pointless rules here. You can't do this, you can't do that...and that...or this... not to mention that...and did i mention this...The lives of the locals here can play out like a daytime soap opera. Just looking at the folks that i went to C. C. High with, some have dropped outta school, few are behind bars, and one (RIP) has passed away. Others have gotten married, 3 or 4 have babies, and even more individuals that are just suck on the block. There's still alot many folks that are progressing in life and/or doing it big. Even with all this, i figure the most surprising thing about C.C. is the abundance of drugs here. Especially marijuana. Weed. Mary Jane. Doe-dee. The devil's lettuce. Budd. Whatever strand you heart desires, it's here. Budd is to Culver City as snow is to the North Pole. Everyone in C.C. smokes, including the elderly. And almost everyone here has dealt at some point in time. You'd have a harder time tryna not find weed, then finding it. Bottom line is, is that this is a great place, with loads of culture and diversity, and best of all some really fucking-great people.

Shaped Like A Gun - Grunge/Alternative band out of Downtown L.A. They've got a sound that's pretty different from what's out now-a-days.

Ludovico Einaudi - Old man from Turino, Italy. He composes contemporary classical music and is a pianist. In my opinion, he's an absolute genius. Check out the links below and you'll know why.

Mike Posner - Producer/Artist from Minnesota. Has his own band called 'Mike Posner and The Brain Trust.'
