Ram On LA: A Los Angeles Music Sampler (2009 Redux)

Originally released in 2009, the AD-curated Ram On LA compilation brought together a dozen Los Angeles artists paying homage to Paul & Linda McCartney's 1971 masterpiece Ram. Having recently witnessed retrospective publications and documentaries dissecting bgone '90s and 2000s-era music scenes in cities like NYC and Athens, Georgia, the comp represents a snapshot of a particular LA indie scene (one in which no defining sound represented the overall zeitgeist). Retrospectively, a look back on those halcyon days of both the music scene and that era's internet musical landscape make the compilation well worth a reappraisal and a fresh discovery for new ears.
