Ah, yeah. Smelly, long-haired hippies..not to be confused with stinky-smoking short-haired or balding elite music snobs…now I get it. What do I own, btw?

edit: Wasn't even aware of YOUR original use of the word "hippie" Arlette. Glad you enjoy being recognized as an expert demographer, however.

Why the hostility so often? Seriously. You seem to not like the generalization of hippies but then you turn around and generalize quite often by accusing anyone who disagrees with you on any topic of being an elite music snob.
I am far from being an elite music snob. My favorite band of all time is U2. Here's another good one: when I hear Nickelback's new song Photograph on the radio, I DON'T turn it off, I actually find myself singing along. I like some of the so-called "jambands" as much as I like My Bloody Valentine or Kasabian or The Stone Roses.
Anyway, I've been around music for a long time (read: I'm old), so I happen to know a lot about certain genres and not much on others. This one I happen to know about. That's all I was saying.

and i neither smoke or am balding…
I'm a resident hater of all things hippie, and I like Lake Trout. I've never thought of them as hippie or jam shit, in fact, the first time I heard one of their CDs in a club, I thought it sounded like Kid A-era Radiohead.
I remember when I lived in Baltimore ten years ago and I had a friend who was into them, I certainly think they were considered jam bandish back then.
So back to my original question…. Friday night sell-out?
Originally posted by [username edited by p.c. moderator]:I believe they started as a jam band in the early 90s, but have changed a lot since. Woxy asked them about being known as a 'jam band' during their lounge set, and they seemed quite offended. Kid A-era Radiohead is a good comparison..

I am also OLD with a long history as a music fan, musician and promoter of local bands. I am - perhaps more polite and less-narrow minded than you think - and have very often shared your tastes in music, including those bands listed in your posting above.
You may not know it, but this forum has become fairly well-known for hostility, rudeness, aggression, and intolerance. I'm sure ggw can find the remarks in the Post on-line and DCist to back this up, and I've tried not to participate in the attacks - but on occasion, I slip and go after Peter who seems off-the-hook mean. Sorry.
Can't we all just get along, attend the show, enjoy it and then buy boatloads of merch from the boys in Cedars??
Wow, you're more pathetic than I ever imagined.
And I though it was bad that one of my wife's coworkers said some Mariah Carey song was her favorite Christmas song of all time.
But you have taken the cake!!!

Rhome: You know, I've never really read them. Care to toss out any specific ones? The few I've seen smelled faintly of being driven by an agenda, that clique'ish type vibe. I'm a big fan of staying up on the calendars of the local venues and going out regularly to check out stuff you've never heard. Most bands have websites with mp3's, or you can always preview material at washingtonpost.com/mp3. And if you stay tuned to this space, you might just see a new blog. Hmmmm…
Joe: Not a blog really, but I regularly amused by the discussions in the 9:30 club's forums page - especially when they are all bashing each other. The one problem I have with many of the local music blogs I've read (I won't name names) is the obsession with indie rock…and only indie rock. Gets boring pretty quickly.

Personally, it's the sarcasm and bashing that keeps me coming back. Without it this place would be duller than that dirt sandwich I just ate.

Now Rhett is saying he's always imagined me pathetic (I guess I should be flattered that he even ever imagined me), so this thread has obviously gone into weird hostile territory.
I posted initially trying to give Fico some info about the band he was playing with. I'm with him, let's just all get along.
To use a hippie phrase: Peace. Out.
don't see much mention on dcist, they talk about the angry post coldplay concert thread but little else
and one of angriest threads of late here involved the discussion over the Bush daughters and The Secret Machines

Ever noticed how recently the worst hostility and derailment of threads is caused by Bas Sushi "going off" on something completely trivial? Today we have the word hippy.
The only good hippy is a dead hippy.
