The Village Idiot is a watering hole for tourists and Angelenos who desperately wish they were one. If you’re craving a hearty meat pie and a pint of Guinness, you’d probably find sanctuary in this Melrose pub. One step inside The Village Idiot and you’ll feel as if you’ve been transported to the local Oxfordshire restaurant/pub/bar (with much better food, though).

Looking for some new music to rotate into your iPod playlists, but lack the funds to download freely? Not to worry, in my opinion, oldies are always goodies. Here are some CDs you can borrow from your roommate or pick up at your local used music store. Who knows, these dated gems might even be in your current music collection…and you simply forgot you had them.
