Well, I am back from my vacation to the west coast to see some friends and eat some good L.A. food. I know in my last posting F4tF: Los Angeles, the Return I had some lofty goals like Sushi Zo and Totoraku. However, early on into the trip I realized this was going to be a “the plan is to have no plan” vacation. So with that being said, here is my first dining recap from the trip, appropriately titled Hamburgers & Hot Dogs.
Now I know when most of us east coasters hit the west coast the first thing we do is head to In-n-Out Burger. I had planned to as well.

Just by luck I happened to stop by the same Unamiburger location he did at 850 South La Brea Avenue in L.A.
I have to say, I was very impressed with the flavor and texture of the burger. Not quite as great as The Best Burger in America from Le Tub in Miami, but damn good otherwise.

On Eisley’s third album, The Valley (2011), anger and desperation act as both the record’s centerpiece and Achilles heel. Those looking for a return to the ethereal angst-laden dream-pop of Combinations (2007) or Room Noises (2003) are certainly in for some disappointment. The songs on The Valley are deeply rooted in the visceral rawness of heartbreak and the ensuing waves of disillusionment, wrath and desolation.
