It's just Blowout People... Relax.
Blowout approaches and the same old bitterness is filtering out in the usual locales. I’d like to address a few of the endlessly perpetuated bitchy comments. 1. The Metrotimes is making lots of cash and they should give it to the bands. I like when bands make money, but this dig always sounds so conspiratorial… plus it implies that most bands are making lots of money playing the...

“Dear People Who Object to the Coverage Haiti Gets, Or to the Aid Haiti Is Being...”
– Commenter Eureka Street on Deadspin, gently giving more thought and consideration to Paul Shirley’s header-off-the-Eads-Bridge column about Haiti than it deserves. That “could some of you maybe use a condom once in a while?” line is a career-killer. (via leitch)

Or how much longer can we hold out that Coconuts, Harmony House and Tape World will return and everyone will go back to buying CDs before we attempt to fix our business model. (via the always awesome Billboard Glenn Coolfer)

“And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, ‘We will serve...”
– Robertson is certainly not the first to use guilt, fear of supernatural retribution and blatant racism (that pact with the devil was a successful slave revolt) to line his own pockets. He built the Christian Broadcasting Network on the back and wallets of his followers, then sold it to Fox for...

MUST READ: Late Shift 2 Breakdown and Analysis
I watch Conan several times a week, but I get your point.  My question is, do you know anyone who’s watched an entire episode of either of Jay’s shows? Even if you have watched Jay, have you ever watched two in a month?  6 in year?  I can honestly say in the 19 years he’s had a full-time gig, I can never recall watching Jay for more than a few minutes.  He’s is virtually...

Because something use to have value, doesn’t mean it must continue to have value in perpetuity.  Just ask Saab, the guy that signed Vanilla Ice and Microsoft’s Operating Systems Business. Also, your metaphores are bad — the answer to VHS was never betamax, it was DVD and we’ve all figured out that the answer to DVD isn’t blue ray, it’s streaming video —...

Team Jacobs →
They make and sell art prints and generally discuss graphic design… all around good stuff. Looking forward to their next print too. If I was an up and coming D-town band, I think I might talk to them about doing some posters with prints to sell at the show too… but of course I’m just a blogging ape, so it’s a bit of a moot point.
