Music Playlist: Sounds of Silverlake, California

November 20, 2009 5:20 PM by Michael Anderson
It has been my good fortune to have been traveling around the world lately—London, Paris, and New York, among others. I don’t often miss being home in Los Angeles, but when I do, it’s because of the music scene. Los Angeles is arguably still the most important place on earth for music, so I wanted an eclectic offering from this Mecca. At the heart of the LA music scene is Silverlake. With notable clubs like Spaceland and The Echo, Silverlake provides an oasis of freedom to create independently from "the machinery". From indie rock frontrunner Nico Stai to the eccentric Goth producer Deathelectric, this is a play list that is oozing with originality and independence.

ROBERT FRANCIS / Junebug / Before Nightfall

FASCINOMA / Straight Up (Paula Abdul Cover) / Fascinoma

As Associate editor of the Radar section, I obsess daily over movies, television, celebrities and music. A southern girl at heart and Brooklyn by address, my skill set also extends into witty asides, vintage shopping, planning themed parties, brunching, entertaining, applying eyeliner, dancing, concocting bourbon mint iced tea, gift giving, movie quoting, coffee drinking and Elvis spotting. I love conversations that begin with "remember the time...", am still paying off my student loans (and then some), and have fallen madly in love - with my DVR.
