We always encourage you to press that little recommend button at the bottom right hand corner of every post if you enjoyed it. For one, it tells us what you want more of here it LAist. So here's this week's five most recommended posts, as recommended by you:

1. LAist Interview: Matt Reeves, Director of Cloverfield: It was nice to have so many Cloverfield fan sites point to this in depth interview. Who knew that the Iraq War influenced the filming style of this movie or that the title, Cloverfield, was misheard, but stuck?

2. Secretary of State Debra Bowen Checks Out NH Voting Machines: Wandering around the New Hampshire primaries, Los Angeles based Jacob Soboroff of Why Tuesday? bumps into the California Secretary of State, Debra Bowen. They do an ad hoc interview and we discover that New Hampshire has an excellent voting system: No. 2 Pencils.

3. Does Your Job Description Include Cock Socks?: American Apparel founder Dov Charney is in court with a former employee. The Los Angeles based company says there was no foul play when Charney walked around in cock socks or made other lewd comments. Tsk, tsk. Well see how this plays out.

4. LAist Interview: Mr. Blackwell on The 10 Worst-Dressed Women List: Mr. Blackwell releases his famous worst-dressed women list every year. The day before, we chat with him about it.

5. The Writers Unrealistic Demands?: "How the hell are we supposed to cut a penny in half?" Thank you David Letterman.
