Some Feelings on Baltimore Round Robin: Feet Night

By Scotter | Published: October 10, 2008
The Baltimore Round Robin has caused some heated and even somewhat rabid discussion on the interwebs today about the difference between the Detroit scene and the Baltimore scene. I have nothing else to say about that. To be honest, reading these territorial pissings on the blogs started to make me forget how much fun I [...]

Baltimore Round Robin in Detroit Wednesday and Thursday: You should probably go

By Scotter | Published: October 7, 2008
Baltimorians are weirder than Detroiters. Period. I didn’t used to think so–I thought we could compete–until I started checking out some of Baltimore artists performing at the Baltimore Round Robin on Wednesday and Thursday, October 8-9, at the Mocad. Here’s the lowdown: Over 25 Baltimore bands are hitting the road for an 8 city tour, [...]

Good week for St. Louisans who like rock; bad week for folks who like sleep

John Rich’s Poor Logic: “Raising McCain”

By Scotter | Published: August 31, 2008
Now that the Democratic National Convention is over, ending triumphantly with Barack Obama’s historic acceptance speech (one of the best in recent memory), I thought I’d look ahead by focusing on a little song that you’ll probably be hearing at the Republican Convention next week (if you’ll be tuning in at all, that is).

Labor Day Weekend in St. Louis: Lil Wayne, Ratatat, East Loop Block Par-tay

By Todd | Published: August 29, 2008
I am on such a high right now. Not only did the Post-Rockist endorsed presidential candidate Barack Obama deliver a glorious knock-out acceptance speech last night, but I’m looking forward to a three day weekend filled with good music. It seemed like the number of quality shows coming to town was spread pretty thin during [...]
