 If you're going to compare music scenes, pick cities that are comparable in size to DC.
 
 

 Balt-DC is a huge market.  You cant simply limit its population to its city lines.  I believe we are the seventh largest market in the United States.

I thought it was people working for the clubs who book the bands. Is it really bands choosing to skip this particular market, or is it bookers being selective about which shows are more likely to do well, given the limited amount of dates and the limited amount of clubs in our area?

  With or without HFS, some bands do for some reason seem to skip DC and still hit Philly, NYC, Boston, etc with some sort of regularity.  Maybe because the crowds here suck?  I don't know.

good one andy...i meant to add that to my dc gripe list.  people here are just so frickin apathetic. it comes through at the live shows and i'm sure bands must pick up on it.  i've seen crowds go batty for a band elsewhere and when i see the same band play dc and play and equally good show and the dc crowd looks like they came in from the convalescent home down the street (not age-wise, but energy).  maybe i'll take a defribrilator to the next show.

In terms of metropolitan areas, Balt/Wash, I beleive I heard, is the THIRD largest in the country with 7-8 million. Only areas ahead are LA and New York.

heh... it's kind of fitting in a way, because once upon a time, when HFS was quirky and good, they used to devote their Sunday evenings to foreign language programming.

Guerrilla radio is where our new home needs to be. Hopefully someone will do it. Shit I might do it myself, but my taste in music is not mainstream. I think I just came up with an idea.

I stand corrected, but still the point is, we are not a small market by any means. And, also those are stats from 2000, considering this is the fastest growing area in the nation, we may very well be no.3 right now.

[hitman]

jesus christ...all these newbies are coming out of the fucking woodwork...they must be boarders from hfs.com...the board now is riddled with them, and their repetitive posts, and posts in the wrong fora, etc.  
 
 I know the station's programming was rolling downhill, but I will miss them.  I wish they would come back now, so all of these new people would go back.

And take a couple of regulars with them.

We call that "The Orange County Crisis."  You're going to need your own TV Show before you get out of the shadows.

Damn is this thread still going? At this rate, it'll be longer than the "just announced" thread within a week.
