i've already caused enough trouble so i'm staying out of this one....

The Bright Eyes/Faint show has been announced on their website -- with a link to the tickets.com page -- for a couple of weeks.  Presumedly, it was on their mailing list as well.
 
 Giving those people a headstart on tickets before the general announcement sounds like a wonderful alternative to the presale clusterfuck.
 
 The people bitching about it seem to be saying "I don't want to be bothered by checking websites or getting on mailing lists, I just want to reap the rewards."

What's the big debate about?  Peter Denton is definitely a wanker, why debate it?

[kosmo vinyl]

breaking my own rule..
 
 basically it's a debate about wether or not all information should be freed instantly...
 
 me i'm of the opinion that some information can be as easily be shared privately via email/im/phones as it can be posted on a blog

I know, I was kidding.
 
 Everytime the club tries to do something nice for the fans, people who are quicker to post to their blog than to think things through, ruin it for the fans.  It's amazing really.
 
 All you naysayers, think about it for a second - why is the club doing this?  These shows are going to sell out anyway, so it's no benefit to the club to do this - it's a benefit to the fans.  Why can't you see that and embrace it instead of bitching about it?

does anybody else find the incestuous nature of all these dc blogs and forums really bizarre, and I am including myspace in this, kind of creeps me out

agreed.
 
 i dont really follow all the blogs around here, but it seems like a soap opera, and not one i'm particularly interested in getting involved with ... myspace is another story altogether, that thing is just creepy ...

What do the bands themselves think about this? Do they have a say or does the Club reserve the right to distribute tickets as it pleases?

... and why aren't there any photos of the real Kosmo Vinyl? Just curious. Seems Mr. Vinyl is extremely camera shy.

blogs have become a new way of networking with like mind people... the ist sites help make the networking a little more formal.  i like dcist.com, seeing as i don't bother reading the post, etc  there is good information to be found on the other dc blogs.  there are somethings that fustrate me about blogs, put they are meant to be personal opinions...

well seeing as there is a link from the saddle creek site, it would appear the artist approves of this method.  ggw's call on the benefits of quiet presale are spot on.
