WashPost Readers Poll

[bellenseb]

The Post does a really lame job presenting the results. All you get is a bland boosterish line for the winner? How about snark, discussion of the list, what was close, etc? Potential wasted. Does City Paper do a similar list with a little more interest?

Just a statement, not a snub.
 
 In general, bands that play the 9:30 Club are bands that have achieved a certain amount of mainstream commercial success.

  interesting that nine thirty is always the number one venue to see music, and you [vomit] within a box.

my projectile vomiting was actually in reference to the "10 Ten Bands" ... the venues are relatively reasonable, but big snub to DC9, velvet lounge and warehouse [/b]

It's hard to tell if that's a snub or not? [/b]

Neither have I.  Band-wise, I'm completely out of touch.  
 
 I know that Gonzo's Nose is a Dewey Beach-type cover band from my early days at the Clarendon Ballroom with my friends who had places out in Dewey...

you're right GGW, a lack of taste isn't a suburban or urban issue, there are plenty of DCites who have no cultural taste at all either ... but it's clear that most of these voters were from virginia, otherwise we would have gotten Grog & Tankard as a "top 10 venue" along with the crap bands that play there

Why is this the best put-down ever? Because it's a semi-obscure reference that you know the source of? You impress easily. Hey look, a blue car!

 That and because it is erudite, appropriate. Things that you could never hope to be. Why dont you go back and crawl under a blue car with Hoya Saxa.
