Scissor Sisters roll call

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Yes, but are they in the same league as Tegan and Sara?

  Fun show.  Almost sold out, and really mixed crowd.  Very 70s -- at times, like a mix of Dee-Lite and jamiroqouis, with Elton John thrown in.  Not as 'glam" as I thought. One song sounded almost exactly like "Love Roller Coaster."  Quite a spectacle.  As a friend said, fun to have a dance band that's not house...  But, then I gave him Franz Ferdinand.  We'll see how psyched he is about that CD!  The boy's coming to see Metric with us now, too....

I think the only thing argued about in the earliest version of the forum was Guns N Roses homophobic tendencies.  Particularly Axl's.

i did, if you recall, say that he may be spinning something different for this tour.
 
   I have only seen him at clubs when he's spinning for a dancefloor.  good to hear he didnt bore people to tears!  wish i couldve gone.

ok so it's quite possible that the "hot" acts of woxy are discussed here, but whats wrong with loads of people feeling the same vibe from a band.
 
 as far as people having the same tastes that just silly... econo and i have been around the longest and we have divergent tastes in what we like.  although we usually agree on what sucks.
 
 jam bands were for the most part ignored in the dark ages of the forum, seeing as they hadn't graduated to playing the club yet.  still playing "off the chain" shows in frat houses on the east coast.
 
 jam band fans have their own boards and would be bored here seeing as there is a lacking of concert trading, etc

Other than number 10, I don't recall anything more than passing mention of a couple of these bands:
 
 
 9-8-2004 -- Top 10 WOXY Bands:
 
 1 Cake
 2 The Donnas
 3 R.E.M.
 4 A Girl Called Eddy
 5 Faithless
 6 Head Automatica
 7 Elvis Costello
 8 Elliott Smith
 9 The Faint
 10 Guided By Voices
 
 
 Don't forget # 16:
 
 Drive-By Truckers

where I went to school, the people listening to jam bands were not frat boys, they were modern day hippies, frat boys were in to the beastie boys, not a slight on anyone, just the truth

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Ok, compare that top ten to the current Americana top 10 http://americanaradio.org/ama/displaychart.asp?mode=lw
 
 and tell me the amount of mention on this board that WOXY top 10 bands compared to Americana top 10 bands correlates with the sales of each.
 
 It's not like this board is a WOXY board, or even a Black Cat or Iota board, all of which would tend to have skewed audiences. This is the 9:30 board, a club which books an amazing array of genres of music, but whose chatboard really doesn't reflect that.

maybe it's that brand of dmb jam band that came up via the frat circuit... of late.
 
 regardless jam bands weren't on our radar and so why bother diss it... it was more important to talk about lesbian advengers

So now you are on a crusade for a proportional representation of chatboard participants based both on album sales data and the frequency with which artists in particular genres play at the 9:30 Club?

but it would reflect it less if we talked about Americana bands, since they almost NEVER play the 930 club.
 
  furthermore, your continuing sales comment is very tiring. Sales have nothing to do with how good a band is , or how many people have heard of them for that matter....
 
   i have heard of most of those bands on your little list and i think they suck and are boring.

My too many uses of the word jam in a thread alert is at 61%. Be careful folks, you don't wanna have to deal with the jam police.

I'm not on a crusade for anything. I'm just commenting on how things are.
 
 If I were going to crusade for anything, it would be banning cigarette smoking or Republicans in the White House.

How do you figure that one?

Not true. Take a look at the current 9:30 Club schedule. Old 97's, Drive By Truckers, Mindy Smith, the Cramps (if you stretch the definition of Americana), and an as yet unannounced show by Del McCoury Band with Donna the Buffalo are all on the schedule.
 
 Also, if you take a look at the Americana Charts, Steve Earle, Dwight Yoakam, Vince Gill (Notorious Cherry Bombs), Dave Alvin, Old 97's, Loretta Lynn, Drive By Truckers, Los Lobos, and Wilco have all played the 9:30 Club, some of them numerous times.
 
 But of course the only ones of those that get mentioned with any kind of regularity on this board are the ones who are also played on WOXY...Wilco and maybe the Drive By Truckers.

ok, i should've stated that sales are not a "direct indication" of how many people have heard of them.
