What is the chance of all this being done by midnight so I can take Metro?
BJM Roll Call
Originally posted by Summerteeth:BJM should hopefully go on somwtime soon after 11. But the official time of their set is "11 until he's finished." Which I bet will be after 12. Well after if he is in the groove, which, for our sakes, I hope he is.

And this is one of those shows where going downstairs to the bar could cost you. But as long as your hand is stamped, it should be fine.
Here's an idea of what they've been playing according to some setlists from this tour.It looks to be at least 2 hours barring any unforeseen circumstances: Whoever You Are
Hide and Seek
Let Me Stand Next To Your Flower
Nailing Honey To The Bee
Nevertheless
This Is Why You Love Me
When Jokers Attack (extended jam)
Who?
Servo
Straight Up And Down
Swallowtail

show was also mentioned in Music Notes in the August On Tap, with a thing on BigYawn as well.
2 fucking mentions of BJM in the Express today, and not one of them mentions BigYawn. I'm the one who sent them the damn press release, there wouldn't be a fucking BJM show today in DC if it wasn't for me. Fucking pathetic, this city's press refuses to cover the local angle regarding the DC music scene. I'm glad the show got the press, but it's appaling we didn't get so much as a mention.
Is it customary to mention the promoter when writing about an upcoming gig?

In part because of a recent documentary, "Dig!," Brian Jonestown Massacre mainstay Anton Newcombe has a reputation as a wild man. The California band's neopsychedelic rock, however, is not such a crazy trip. The 38 songs compiled on "Tepid Peppermint Wonderland: A Retrospective" validate the two-CD set's title. "Tepid" is a harsh verdict on the Massacre's synthesis of circa 1966 Byrds and circa 1967 Rolling Stones, but, hey – they said it, not me.
The collection includes such attention-getting titles as "Prozac vs. Heroin" and "Not if You Were the Last Dandy on Earth," a reference to the Massacre's supposed feud with the Dandy Warhols. The music, however, is more of a giggle than a shock. Connoisseurs of the period that inspired most of the Massacre's style will be amused that the band draws so heavily on "Their Satanic Majesties Request," the '60s Stones album that Stones diehards tend not to like. Newcombe and his ever-shifting crew of collaborators also borrow from the rootsier Stones, the Velvet Underground and – just to prove that they didn't sleep through the '80s – the Cure. Whatever its sources, the group's woozy mid-tempo rock is reliably skillful, melodic and secondhand.

Originally posted by ggwâ?¢:I'm not saying any time should be spent saying what the sponsor is all about, but if the name of the event is "KCRW presents the Pixies", I'd think, just as a courtesy, it'd be listed as "KCRW presents the Pixies," and not "the Pixies."

Personally I think Bigyawn should be grateful that the band made the listings at all. They didn't the last cople of times they were in town. I am sure that is all down to bigyawns excellent promotional work.

Are you sure you didnt read it at BigYawn.net ? They always credit their sources, like the hfs board……

Your best chance of promoting bigyawn is the large bigyawn backdrop the band will be performing in front of tonight and the waitresses in breast exposing bigyawn T-shirts handing out drinks on bigyawn coasters…….

Look at the Post's 9:30 listings and note that it lists Talib Kweli and DJ Z-Trip but says nothing of Miller Genuine Draft or Playstation Dual Play.

I think I'm out. Sorry, I've missed many BY events (3 hours sleep = planning annihiltion of my neighbor).
Big difference between us and KCRW. bigger difference between us and major Breweries. We are a locally-owned tiny promotional/online company that have our name included in all the printed material about this show. All DC9 ads, all posters and flyers for the show. From a journalistic angle, particularly a local one, mentioning who was sponsoring the show seems like a worthwhile thing. And a relevant thing. Thatâ??s all Iâ??m saying.
