And another one bites the dust. Bye bye Indie 103.1.

Since I've moved to Los Angeles, Indie 103.1 has served as the only station to play good music, support amazing shows, and break new local artists. Well, no more. Another great thing has folded under the pressure of a crumbling economy and new rules of business.

Read Indie's statement to its readers here on its homepage.

Farewell Indie, we hardly knew you.

Even the porn industry takes a hit.

Apparently, even sex and porn are not immune from the economy's recent nosedive. BizBash reports today that Playboy will be suspending its annual Super Bowl party this year. The article quotes a Playboy representative as saying "we didn’t want to compromise the integrity of our event." Integrity. Hmmmm. Really makes you think.

This news closely follows the plea by Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis and Hustler's Larry Flynt for a porn bailout. For, as Flynt put it, "it's time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America."

Well, folks--there you've got it. The people have spoken. The sex addicts and porn junkies are hurting. They are hurt and they are outraged! Can we, as a people, sit by and watch this happen? Well...yes, yes--I think so.
