The Fort Reno summer music series is not just a DC institution, but an East Coast institution. It’s importance to DC music culture and contribution to DC’s wider culture is significant and should be treated as such. Despite this, there is no archive of Fort Reno schedules, let alone additional multimedia content. I intend to [...]
Also tagged Fort Reno, Jason Koepke, MusicI went to the Black Cat last night to catch Aquarium and discovered the new couch. In addition to its incredible newsworthiness, the new couch reflects the posh youth (i.e., college kids) that now frequents the Red Room. Well, apparently the Black Cat feels the new couch is also a big-time development as they are [...]

Also tagged driving, JG, lessons, SD, Washington City PaperI have made a bit of noise regarding bands skipping DC, often hitting the area via Baltimore, but I am beginning to think I should keep my mouth shut. The main reason is that DC music fans do not bother showing up for incredible shows. For example, how is it possible Thurston Moore‘s show at [...]
Also tagged culture, Music, Rock n Roll Hotel, Thurston MooreI already bought tickets, for $25 which is much less than the $150 LA told me they were later being sold for, for the Friday Terminal 5 MIA show in NYC, but that did not stop me from buying four tickets to the MIA show at 930 Club.

Also tagged MIA, Music, NYC, Pitchfork MediaFirst, let me take one more opportunity to trash the DC music journalists. Your writing is terrible. Your opinions uninformed. Your tastes reprehensible. Your coverage racist. For good measure, let me throw in a specific critique of your coverage of Sonic Circuits is pathetic, as it consists almost entirely of regurgitating garbage PR releases rather [...]
