Musicological banter

Why do you all care who is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?  Does it really matter? 

Wait - you are the same lot who think they can do a better job running baseball teams and picking Oscar winners; never mind - carry on.

At least we dont' care who wins a make believe wrestling match.

OOOOHHHH BURN

Do you not watch movies?  Do you not cheer for the hero?  Hope he survives and saves the day? 

GASP

It is SCRIPTED as well.

OMG - Entertainment

I don't watch action movies.  I would rate wrestling below that.

This is actually a fantastic burn but you didn't direct it at the right poster. Still awesome.

It might be a fantastic burn if the poster didn't drive to New Orleans to watch a wrestling match.

Atomic, why are you obsessed with what I enjoy?

Now back on topic... What is this?
http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/bestofdc/poll/artsandentertainment/2014/best-place-to-see-local-music

People voted 930 Club on Washington City paper as... Best place to see local music?  It deserves the best music venue spot, but best place to see local music?  I am not being a hater, just being real.  Look at the list of bands that are playing the 930 Club over the next few months.  The most "local" it gets are a couple from Baltimore, the rest are from anywhere else.  Maybe the people who voted didn't understand the category.  930 Club does host local bands every now and then, but still.  I am surprised it wasn't voted "best outdoors venue."

that is funny. A few years back here in Richmond, Style Weekly did their annual poll and The National won best large venue, best small venue, and best venue to see local music. I chalk it up to being the only venue people who lived out the suburbs could name.

i think the club also wins the cutest owner, award, as well . . . or maybe that in my dreamed award ceremony with finger sandwiches and punch, thread.

oh hai.

That "best place to see local music" result is laughable. Julian might be onto something.


Staff picks are great, though. Especially "best overlooked jazz elder." I've known Aaron for a good while. Always a pleasure to hear play and talk to.

Woah Detroit Cobras came out of hibernation and out touring again, sadly nothing as close as Philly so far.
