because i missed being in seattle for grunge…

SPIN declares Silverlake the most buzz-worthy scene in America, according to LA.com today.

Only, at the risk of admitting my age, I’m going to have to say…Silversun Pickup are fine and all, but they are no Alice in Chains.

I’m not even going to acknowledge the bit about Steve “My Daddy’s Got Money But That’s Not Why I’m Called Kid Millionaire! Not At All!” Aoki’s “new Hollywood scene”. That’s enough to make me throw up in my mouth a little.

Since I missed living in Seattle in 1993, I’m kind of shocked to find that I’m actually in a SPIN-endorsed buzzworthy scene! Hey, now I’m cool – just twelve years too late!
