will the velvet be increasing the coke-and-cleavage factor accordingly?

that's yacht rock. no wave is more heroin and crack and self-laceration.

We've covered/hyped/listed shows at VL plenty of times:

http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/music/hot-lava-owns-you/

http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/music/listening-party-thalia-zedek/

http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/live-dc/mega-shoegaze-extravaganza/

http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/live-dc/livefastdie-listening-party/

http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/live-dc/monday-magic-velvet-lounge/

but since we don't pay our show reviewers, the things that get covered first are ones that they come to us and say "I want to cover this show"

when there is something we think would be interesting we'll push it "hey would anyone be able to write up Silver Mt. Zion @ the cat?"

but obvi people are going to be more excited to cover something they want to see anyway. and that means the "bigger" shows get covered more often. if we could cover every show every night we would. we are constantly looking for more contributors so if you know someone who is ape shit about covering obscure no wave influenced acts at VL, we'd love to hear from them.

No - he was making fun of BYT because he thinks we only cover coked out underwear parties.

making fun, yes. actually thinking that's all you do, no.

just playing up a stereotype/board meme.

looks like cale's gonna have to start wearing a push up bra…

I went to it…."meh". I felt they were really under-prepared. And after a bit of them babbling "hey remember teenage jesus / contortionists / lydia lunch " i really started to drift off…they should have shown more pictures and videos early on.

not worth the $20 at all

$5 maybe.

thanks man
yeah it was a whole lot of fun. the stories and old photos had me reminiscing about DC's own awesome happenings in the 80s when everything from georgetown (the roy rogers, the theaters and little weirdo stores where punks, skins and mods hung out) to downtown (old 930, dc space, safari club, 15 minutes, crobar) was still raw as shit.

I dont know that they came off all unprepared. I expected it to be exactly the "remember when …?" anecdotal sesh that it was. the presentation off thurston moore's powerbook and peeking at his desktop with all his personal shit beats a regular ol' slideshow any day.
