MacdadI want some grilled chicken Faujitas for Lupe Tortillas, with a side of chips and cheese dip. There, we are equal. :)

DMobFor Angelenos:Fab in Reseda makes incredible variations of any style of dog. Worth the drive. They are moving to a new location, so be sure to ping Yelp. Chicago-style, Detroit Conies, NJ Red Devils, AZ Sonorans--you name it--they can make it.... 
Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music?
Same story, different day. Anything different from Album Oriented Rock gets flamed in the AudiogoN community. I am surprised that a site oriented to high quality stereo reproduction is mired in the good old days. I can think of 100 new bands that ... 
Flying Lotus: "The Hendrix of his Generation" ?
2006. My mistake.

I would also check out the neo James Brown funk attack that is Janelle Monae's The ArchAndroid. Very innovative stuff as well. 
Flying Lotus: "The Hendrix of his Generation" ?
Hendrix is dead and gone for 40 years. So I think it is a hate statement that no one new can come forth. I really like it when people like Flying Lotus like to shake things up. This is a very innovative hybrid of jazz, hip hop and dance beats. If ...

Check out Nosaj Thing. Highly recommended.I also love the sounds coming out of South London. The XX, Hot Chip, Burial and Rusko are making amazing music. I love all of this stuff.

New Tom Petty
Like it as well. Thought it would have the warm tubey magic of Dave Alvin but it is a much more traditional sounding album, almost a throwback to the Yardbirds era of British R & B. Agree with Shadorne--this will sound amazing live. My favorit... 
What is your favorite guitar solo of all time?
Second the Skunk Baxter. Highly under-rated guitarist. 
What music do you want to play really loud?
The Clash's Sandanista 
Best tracks to "show off" your system
I like acoustic and organic based music. Chris Isaak's Baja Sessions, Jack Johnson's first album (mentioned above), Willie Nelson's Teatro, Paul Kelly's May 1992. For full band, vintage albums include the Band's Music from Big Pink and Marvin Gaye... 
Great rock songs
Radiohead is the bomb. Obscure: I also like Fugazi's 13 songs (Waiting Room) and Sonic Youth (Daydream Nation). My favorite "rock" songs include Iggy's "Danger" and Midnight Oil's "Earth and Sun and Moon."

I remember eating Fatburger at the one up by the Beverly Center. No longer there.
