DailyHeights

Now is the time that DAILY HEIGHTS engages in the time-honored tradition of pandering to advertisers and pretending it’s unbiased editorial content:

In my opinion, the proper response to the phrase “Open Mic Night” is to run in the opposite direction, screaming. So it was with great trepidation that I accepted an ad from Muk, a ProHo resident and self-described quasi-alt-country- insurgent-folk-americana artist who was once in a band that shared the stage with both the Dead Milkmen and Phish (different shows).

Imagine my surprise, then, to discover that Muk is actually a talented musician and songwriter–in fact, I can honestly recommend a visit Muk’s elegantly simple, no-nonsense website (see ad links, to your right) to download some absolutely free MP3s from a man who has “carefully honed his craft of marrying folk and Americana melodies to evocative lyrics.”

It didn’t hurt that Muk said some very flattering things about our non-blog: “I am true to the site’s name, reading it on a daily basis, usually a few times a day, actually … I have never bought ads anywhere, and thought why not give it a shot where the money at least goes to something that I want to support.”

APPROVED.

Finally, it was surprising to discover that this was the same Muk we met about 2 months ago at Soda Bar when we crashed his baby’s 1-year birthday party.

Small world. But that’s the point of Daily Heights, right?
