Best of 2008!

2008. What a year. The residencies, the shows, the after parties, the blogs, the looks. 2008 is the year it really got hot in here!!!

Thanks for keeping it real, faithful East Siders.

LAESIRC would like to honor those who advanced the cause of indie rock on the East Side in 2008. Hold on to your hat cuz here comes LAESIRC's first annual AIRBORNE awards!

LA EAST SIDE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD:

AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENTS

After over a decade in the trenches paying dues and keeping the flame alive, 2008 was the Year of the Toxic Events! These guys have done more to put the EAST SIDE on the map than anyone since BECK, which is why LAESIRC has chosen to name our awards in their honor! And in 2008 we watched them overcome the heartbreak of a scathing 1.7 review in Pitchfork by hauling in boatloads of cash with some seriously posh placements (NBC, Lexus, Rolaids).

It isn't hard at all to start making money online in the hush-hush world of [URL=http://www.www.blackhatmoneymaker.com]blackhat hosting[/URL], Don’t feel silly if you don't know what blackhat is. Blackhat marketing uses not-so-popular or little-understood avenues to build an income online.
