In response to Joslyn Jane's 4/7 post about Rhino Records, an astute reader writes in to say:
You new contributor "Joslyn Jane" really is cracking me up. Ameoba Music is at the intersection of Sunset and Cahuenga -- squarely in the heart of Hollywood! West LA is the other side of the 405. But I do agree that Rhino is great!
The reader is correct. Amoeba Music is located at 6400 Sunset Blvd. between N. Cahuenga and Vine St. We've updated Jane's post to reflect the reader's information.

Centinel over at Foothill Cities also wrote us last week with comment posted on the Mayor Sam 2 blog. The comment stated:
For all intents and purposes, Alhambra is a suburb of the eastside of L.A. Without a "real" city like Los Angeles to hang onto the skirt tails of and drive their economies, these little "independent" cities that carry so much self-important pride (while they look down their noses at L.A.) - like Glendale, Alhambra, South Pasadena, El Monte, West Hollywood - even Pasadena, Santa Monica, and Long Beach might as well be Needles or Tucumcari, New Mexico.
They're as captive and indentured to the real city here, as is Hollywood and the SFV.
Are towns like Claremont mere lesser satellites of Los Angeles? Do we over-compensate for our place in the world by inflating Claremont's importance (à la Judy Wright's historical bits and the Claremont 400's constant chatter about the need for "continuity" in our elected leadership)?
Or is Centinel right in saying that the commentator has no idea what goes on along in our foothill towns? You tell us.
