My supermodel wife saw them in Austin the other week, said they killed it.  Songs from new album sound strong…will be attending.

cool, my bikini-and-lingerie-modelling wife and i might be there too.  if we make it, the ladies should hang out together, and, you know, be models.  we can look cool by just being there.

This is just like that MGMT song, right?

Was checking that band out and thought they sounded pretty awesome…didn't know it was that guy's new band.  Losing him was the worst thing that ever happened to high dials…Phantoms and New Devotion are almost perfect albums.

That it does… Are you going to go to Chelsea Light Moving? 

Yeah. I have no clue as to whether or not that tour is a one off. And that album is really good.

Cracker, Camper Van Beethoven

I would go to that if I could weasel my way into it for free just so I could tell Lowery I did.

Cool.  I still am planning on going.

why?

He could have made the same points he made here without being the massive patronizing asshole he sounds like.

I don't know what you mean but isn't Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven the same band?  I used to think how could an awesome band like CVB turn into such a shitty band like Cracker.  But now you can experience both.  I hope Cracker is the opener.

Yeah, he hasn't done anything worthwhile in about 25 years.

oh I see….you're a riot az….such an anarchist……

i think lowery is right on the money and didn't see much wrong with the tone… problem is you probably don't like the answer so you look for ways to shoot the messenger…

there is something wrong with this "music should be free" model..but its awfully inconvenient to think about it, no?

i havent listened much to camper or cracker in decades.. but cracker in richmond at the floodzone about 1992 was pretty good..they were just starting out…

i have heard they put on great shows (camper and cracker).

That was a good read…I'm curious to know where you find fault with it.

I picked up on a "you are younger than me so you are an idiot" tone. I found the stuff about Linkus and Chesnutt especially stomach-turning and ridiculous. He turned deaths of supposed friends into talking points. I have definitely read other pieces on this topic that make a similar point that didn't leave me with the disdain I have for Lowery now. This one, for instance. This Dave Allen Lowery takedown was nothing short of masterful.

I thought the Linkous and Chesnutt stuff was  relevant, at the very least.  If a person is talking about an issue what's wrong with relating how it has affected them personally? I has a passing familiarity with Mark in the early 90's when I lived in rva, and know many people who were close to him up until his death, so maybe that's why I'm more open to it…I most definitely picked up the "you are an idiot tone", not a "you are younger….." tone.  I do in fact think that girl is an idiot, so I've no problem with the tone.  I thought the whole rant was pretty spot on.
