It List: Tuesday
Harvey Milk /Yells At Eels/Zanzibar Snails(Rubber Gloves): Great lineup featuring the overlooked Harvey Milk, a nineties avant metal group with a sometimes painfully slow approach and sophisticated vocal style that predicted the metal resurgence of the aughts, while also paving the way for future metal acts to get reviewed in cerebral rags like The Wire. Speaking of The Wire, the highly unlikely occurrence of two local bands getting mentioned in the magazine will be cherry-topped tonight with the improv ambient to freakout Zanzibar Snails sharing the stage with the free jazz slash hardcore rhythm of Yells At Eels.
Disqo Disco (Fallout Lounge)
Dallas Observer Music Awards with Lil' Wil, Record Hop, Sarah Jaffe and others (Granada): We're getting our makeup and slingbacks ready because the night is kind of special like Lowenbrau. It was nice to be nominated, but I'm a little confused. I've always thought the ever inspiring Stonedranger was a wonderful "advocate." It's just that I never thought the advocacy was for anything having to do with music.

Regarding Saturday's threepiece room-clearing set at Hailey's:
“door girl said ZanSnails was literally driving people crazy. one dude threw his vodka down and went outside to throw up, then she found him sprawled out in front of door passed out. AWESOME.” - unsubstantiated Internet review

SO who won an oscar tonight?
You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.
And the people who run this blog are a bunch of fascist pieces of shit.
So, "Kyle," why don't you tell the class whether or not you have ever posted anonymously? Come on, let everyone know that you're not a hypocrite and that you would never do that. Because if you have, that would make you a hypocrite and a liar, wouldn't it? And the main way people try to defend you is to say that you're honest, and you yourself claim that you're honest. So have you ever posted anonymously? You're not a hypocritical liar after all right? Not a sociopath, right?
I think you know the answer.
Fuck You, Kyle. We're So Over You.
I thought his name was Coleen.
i work at barneys.
i still love kyle. he could say whatever he wants on here and it wouldn't change a thing. that is what knowing someone outside of this shit really means. kyle is honestly a beautiful amazing person despite what it looks like by what he says on this blog. or stupid shit he does to himself or his friends. he's the motherfucking shit. and that's the truth. god damn truth. kyle love.
You guys should change the default anonymous name to print as Kyle.
i think kyle is just trying to use the comments to get e-famous, and get laid.. and to that.. i wish you good luck sir.

yes, nsp suck, but wht about MOM? or florene? or zanzibar snails? aren't they just as boring and god-awful, and difficult to explain the popularity of?
please take into consideration the slew of boring, uninspired local bands before you just pick on one.
and the award for best comments goes to ... Anonymouse 12:40!!!!!!!!!!!!
yep boring and uninspiring pretty much nails it. Its probably a result of "scene inbreeding". There are other bands on that comp that don't suffer that syndrome. Can't wait for the do for it records comp. Battl3 School Launchy is an exciting new band.
You can't fool tim duncan.
U can't appreciate that comp unless you dress like this...

Just a head's up... the new owners at the Slip Inn in Dallas held a meeting last week and told their staff that they want to "thin out" the contingency of African-American people who patronize their club. THIS IS NO JOKE.
First they told the DJs to stop playing hip-hop (I swear to god they were playing Foreigner's "Urgent" when I dropped in the other night), and now they've told the door staff to make up excuses about a "dress code" whenever an African-American male comes to the front door.
Hip-hop music and African-American people made the Slip Inn a popular place to hang out. The new owners seem to think this dive bar would be better as a "members only" club with a red velvet rope and bottle service. I suggest that not only we boycott the Slip Inn, but encourage others to boycott their other club Vickery Park as well.
Again, this is no joke. Racism is alive and well at the Slip Inn.
what the fuck is the slip inn?
slip inn should just stop serving purple drank.
The slip-up's current clientele doesnt really mesh w. the lesbos at barfcadia and the smu and an aging rocker from hagfish, that hang out at capitolist pub.
myspace.com/dallasshowlist please make an additon to your space
the new djs at slip suck.
that place was toast when a-one and phooka left.
Hey 144, Are you kidding? If not, how do you know about this?
Just as long as they don't get rid of the Watermelon and Chicken buffet, slip inn is fine with me.
no jerseys, no gang colors, no hats, no real slip inn
hey that picture was from the pitchfork festival
hey the kkk and the masons will have a new place to hang.
the new slip inn jukebox - all skrewdriver and jerry lee lewis, all the time...
the masons except individuals from all colors, and creeds

I REALLY like the idea of the anonymous posts automatically printed as "Kyle". Please make this happen, WSJR. It will also confuse the shit out of outsiders.
Check the news section for comments on the DOA
Right-o. I'm a moron.
1204: i didn't just pick them at random, they were just mentioned in the last comment so it was relevant. haven't heard much florene, but i def disagree on ZS. they've been making that racket for quite some time not uninspiring, boring or god awful to me. we all have opinions. new science projects really sucks though
who is kyle????
DOMA WINNERS?
oh, thanks, i forgot to ask about a bunch of shitty bands that were nominated by a bunch of shitty shitheads at some shitty local shitpaper.
oh, and "confused outsiders" can go fuck themselves. especially if "they be fonda purple drank", you know what i'm sayin'?
oh, yeah, and no jews.
yes I am sure Snarky Puppy blows Yells at Eels out of the water.
because, ya know, they killed jesus.
d.l., i would like to know more about what kind of lipstick and slingbacks you wore. i was looking for some cute slingbacks this past weekend...
fifty
sounds like dallas is interbreeding a bit within its music scene.
best venue / best booking agent
plays with best singer / best folk
and plays with best instrumentalist
best label / record store
host best electronic act on roster.
but the real sad thing:
best rapper is a white dude.
If you think Dallas is "interbreeding" you should check Denton out.
finish up already..
it's like this: not so much "interbreeding" as it is the d.o. co-opting it's drinking buddies and puppet hacks who won't/can't tell them how full of shit they really are. a clique, basically. no ethics, no tell. with just a sprinkle of manufactured cred on top to keep the realist's at bay.
it starts at the top and worms it's way down, believe it.
you know your band jumped the shark when sara alexander shows up in it.too bad
No more incestuous than this site writing about Nouns Group, now is it, 3:00?
WHISKEY FOLK RAMBLERS WTF
Where is the nouns group article this site wrote? Or the review 3:58 pm? have you read those?
mentioning that nouns group is playing a show with a bunch of other bands somehow being worse than the spune/glen farris/sean kirkpatrick/kris youmans/chelsea callahan/merrit martin/double wide/granada/observer etc. clique is QUITE a stretch but okay.
i like nouns group. but i agree that the DOMAs are just about the most useless, tasteless, shit-headed waste of time since the invention of going to church.
Post of the day!
i'm soooo tired
i haven't slept a wink
