FROM A WEBSITE called Examiner that wants to "get inside Los Angeles" there's an interesting bit of geographical misplacement in this article about the life and death of musician Elliott Smith:Depending on who you talk to? Who is this rogue agent trying to re-define neighborhood boundaries?"...In Los Feliz (or Atwater Village, depending on who you talk to) at 3100 Los Feliz Boulevard, is a bar called the Roost where Elliott drank. They apparently have him on the jukebox, which is rare, even in Los Angeles." For comparison and future reference, here's a reliable map of the Los Feliz neighborhood and one of our own Atwater Village neighborhood. Voila. Two distinct neighborhoods, separated by a 6-lane freeway, a river and a couple of bridge systems. No matter who you talk to. |

We get no respect, I tells ya.
The "Examiner" is just full of hackery it's not funny.
I agree with Leonora.
there is actually a little instrumental jam on the record 'figure 8' called "the Roost"
it's listed on the back of the album but is a part of one of the tracks. sometimes i play it at the Roost, but nobody gets it.
