I Might Be Wrong

Last night I read this post, which contains the following statement.

For the last week and a half or so, I’ve been back home in Virginia for vacation. And while being at home obviously has its luxuries, after searching for some shows to see during my time here, I quickly remembered just how difficult is it to find a good one in the Washington, D.C. area. Fortunately this time around, a South by Southwest-esque showcase made its way to D.C.’s Rock and Roll Hotel last night, and for three hours on a Thursday night, my music thirst was temporarily quenched.

Jesus. Since the author has no problem making clueless, sweeping generalizations, I'll do the same and declare that the passage above is easily one of the worst opening paragraphs in the history of music blogging.

Not to mention that it is just flat out WRONG.

I have no intention or desire to get into the whole NYC v. D.C. thing again, so let's just agree that D.C. does not have as many bands, venues, concert goers or music bloggers (with Chicago influences!) as NYC. Or SXSW.
Some might even say this is a good thing.

I bring all of this up because CoS is a decent blog (although their superior festival coverage is tempered by all the press releases they cut and paste onto their site), and quite frankly, I expect better from them.

BTW, here are the shows at the Black Cat during the first week in April:
Wed Apr 2- JENS LEKMAN, THE HONEYDRIPS, MARLA HANSEN
Thu Apr 3- KIMYA DAWSON, ANGELO SPENCER, SPOONBOY
Fri Apr 4- LES SAVY FAV, THE BIG SLEEP, THE DODOS
Mon Apr 7- DIRTY PROJECTORS, NO KIDS
