Zac Crain for mayor? What a joke! Just what Dallas needs, another useless writer from the observer in office. Hey Zac, if you are going to run for mayor, why don't you try to speak up when the mic is in your hands, instead of sounding like you're scared.
Wow, and that Larz guy from Undoing looks like a really bad wanna be Ziggy Stardust... All in all, that award ceremony was just a load of shit. And Zac Crain can just crawl back to the land of bad writing for the Dallas Observer and give up the quest for Mayor. What a joke.
did the undoing win????

funny you should ask... actually the winner (obviously) of the "electronic/experimental" category was the paper chase.
duh.....
mine eyes have been violated by these images
just saw this post over at drc by some female called the nazz..how old are these people anyway?...
"we showed those bastards how we party in denton! fuck those guys!
a special shout-out for:
kelly v
jc
frank
paul
ash
for showing dallas what hellraisers we are!"
wow,the paperchase are
REALLY crossing boundries with
their "experimental" sounds
the singer tells the observer that their not a friendly band..
anytime you have to TELL someone that, you are totally reaching for
the.. i am a rock star,i have anger and i am untouchable status.it just makes them look so lame.
yeah dude, the paperchase is probably the only winner that SHOULDNT be shat on. Direct your anger elsewhere.
HA!HA!
that's funny..there is no anger.
just pity-
1st non anon post!

Man, I'm glad you approve of one of the winners of the doma. They're so much different from everyone else in dallas. playing buzz oven. playing with fair to midland. they are one step removed from any cheesy deep ellum band, they just claim better influences and are on a good label. did you read the pitchfork write-up about them today? scariest band in america or whatever? I do find heavy handed lyrics and cheap local looking artwork "scary" but not in the way you'd expect. the scariest thing congleton is doing is recording the new polyphonic spree album. I guess he likes paychecks more than respect but judging by how most dallas bands conduct themselves, that's no surprise. I guess he figured, "albini recorded bush and veruca salt, maybe I should record the shittiest band of my generation." good job. and the denton rock city people hate this website because it's not a bunch of their drinking buddies slapping them on the back and congratulating every thing they fucking do. typical drc banter:
"dude, today I bought some falafel and shit."
"awesome, man I love that shit. last time I did that I got really wasted and I wrote a metal/country song. wanna start a band?"
"yeah, just come next door. I can see you typing from here."
one more thing:congleton announcing his unfriendliness makes me feel that much better about my limitless hate for that band. I don't think he knows what unfriendly is. Unfriendly is not being neck deep in the worst dfw has to offer, whether it be ex-One ton records people or the poly-fucking-phonic-fucking-spree.
I hate everyone and everything, said anonymous.
you're right about some of those drc people.
yes,yes and so so right.
it's as if the whole world is under some spell.totally buying into all that crap.those denton kids are in a dream world too..no wonder they stay there.show them dallas people what hellraisers they are??what?it's true,we're anon on here, but i respect that a whole lot more than than slapping
backs and being fake.their city is falling apart and their getting desperate,i guess.
lars kinda looks like one of my childhood friend's mom, except her jacket would have been red. i had a crush on her. her name was patty. i'm creeping myself out now....
I LOVE MUSIC!!!
All these two-cent opinions about Congleton's paychecks and RESPECT or whether someone is "experimental" or not... how endlessly sterile. Apparently, every musician in Dallas is either a masterful Beethoven or a money-hungry replica of Creed.
I think you people like to hear yourselves argue. Why not just seek out good music and be a little more realistic?
I think it is unfortunate, the amount of silly scenester dumbness that is soon to occur. Good bands in Dallas, Good bans in Denton, Good friends in Dallas, Good friends in Denton, and because of a handful of internet posts that bored people make at work, people are about too look really stupid. Of course, the anonymous will fair slightly better, not revealing their names. Everybody is an easy target.
The intimate nature of Denton Rock City lends itself to familiarity. It's 20 people who have known each other for years. There's nothing wrong with a time-waster among friends... Until it is linked to a place like weshotjr, where faceless peeps, under the guise of constructive criticism, and out of their own boredom, can be as hateful as they want in their commentary of people they might like in the real world.
Anybody still even read the itlist? Or are the comment threads the real draw here, seeing how nasty it can get? I guess when there's 100 posts about how sucky everything and everybody is and the it list says to read a book, the answer is pretty easy to figure out.
yikes.
yah, i really dont see the Ziggy comparison -- I think Cher in the "If I Could Turn Back Time" video looks more like Ziggy then "guy in silver jacket"
The drc sounded especially bitter the last 2 days. I just made a joke about their familiar banter. I didn't try to start a war. Their gang mentality won't let a joke go unpunished, I guess. And I always read the Itlist.
i don't get why the drc people have bad mouthed dallas for so long on their site,but as soon as they get a little criticism about their behaviors we are the fucked up ones? it's good it was called out..about time everybody just shut the fuck up about where you live.i just wished this many people cared to show up and support each other's music
dude, it's montel jordan, not montel williams. come on now.
i'm pretty certain everyone on dRC thought the falafel joke was funny not offensive. cause it's so fucking true.
The new pAperchAse is probably pretty good. Congleton played a show in Dec. at the Sanctuary with URTU, Malise and the Chimeneas, so let him make a buck off Tim & the Spree if he wants. Apparently they only charge $10,000 a performance if they're playing benefits. Congleton has done enough solid stuff to earn a buck or two. As long as he continues to support worthwhile local music, fine.
But I agree why have an experimental category if it's filled w/ bands who are not experimental at all?
because I'm tired:
1. I like Paper Chase, and although I was rooting for Undoing, I don't see any problem with them winning. Even if you aren't crazy about them, they couldn't possibly be on the top of anyone's "things that suck about dallas" list, could they?
2. The other day, I saw someone dissing WSJR on Denton Rock City, and I went on there and jabbed back a little. It started a bunch of crap with me and some kid on there, and I just went over there and said I wasn't going to post anymore. I honestly don't know who any of those people are, and I guess I really don't care.
Thats it and thats all
The tension is funny.
Falafel is funny.
Arguing on the internet is the funniest.
Everyone got their internet feelings hurt.
Whether it's Dallas or Denton, it's still part of the fakest metroplex on the planet. There's no culture here, not enough to support anything other than boob jobs and big business.
My scene is SO much better than your scene. Oh wait your scene is 25 miles from my scene? Let's fight.
I vote that everyone on this site and on the drc is lame.
agreed.
Personally, I like the anonymous posting on this blog. It keeps everyone on their toes. I'm sick of all the ass kissing in the scene anyway.
I am posting anonymously because i don't want any of my denton friends to hate me for liking you.
yeah, I'll say it again, I like anon posts for that reason. Sometimes I wish I could find out who was who, but most of the time I just like reading the comments... even the dumb ones. Because sometimes they are funny, and sometimes they are smart, informed, and well worth the read.
And I think Lars looks like a young Andy Warhol in that picture. I thought that was the most obvious... I mean, he's even got the meth head silver going on.
more like a baked potato with the sprout sticking out at the end...
I think you just might have tied for WSJR comment of the day.
i can now die an accomplished man...
picture captions
1 you can see how boring they sound
2 still better looking than any real roller derby gurl
3 oh i didnt get the memo that ironic fashion went out three years ago but now im super ironic
4 stick to writing...or maybe not even
5 my wife suggested this so what am i gunna do?
"I am posting anonymously because i don't want any of my denton friends to hate me for liking you"
HAHAHAHA!
ANON 3:06 has also just tied.
yeah sure babs
i bet she would grow a beard if she could
no one start hatin on ashley.
she is the coolest girl who seems to stay out of all the scene bs.
i'll hunt you down faster than lil shrub can say cocaine
One things for sure and that is Dallas can claim Space Cadet cause they suck and Denton doesn't want any of that...........a-chu god bless me for not living in Dallas, Just cause I am weak and can't take all the fashion...my heart isn't strong enough? Sorry but Im not sure what to do about it but bitch and maybe take a shit in the toilet. NFUGDTV
are these the lyrics to the new cornhole song?
"anonamous" anonymous
The dRc people (well, most of them) wouldn't type something like that.
And the ones that might would totally own it.
A lot of them post here, and I would say a good handful of them know more about who the wsjr crew
is than you guys do.
no, not real tuff. music tuff dude. I wrote trouser press and the allmusic guide. I know what I said sounded threatening, but I meant music tuff.
being "kicked out of the scene" is a long running joke. I don't see how that can be taken seriously. There was a lot haileys bashing awhile ago, I dont think glen said anything worse.
anonymous people are pussies.
glen quotes sartre on his myspace page. I thought only ninth graders did that.
i heard the bishops and the mau-maus are gonna rumble tonight in the parking lot across from haileys.
sundown. no guns.. knives, bats and chains only. perhaps a trident.
Trident fights rule!
"I am posting anonymously because i don't want any of my denton friends to hate me for liking you."
-I like you too!
my god, there's such anonymous need to squash others to the size of a kumquat and crush them into little mashy bits. why?
ash is supercalifragililistic.
'nuf said.
peace to the dentonites and the dallasites. i will continue to laze around on dRc and read the it list on weshotjr every day.
"A lot of them post here, and I would say a good handful of them know more about who the wsjr crew
is than you guys do."
OH GREAT.NOT ONLY ARE THEY BETTER MUSICIANS AND BETTER DRUNKS..
THEY KNOW WHO THE JR CREW IS..FUCK
HOW ARE WE GOING TO DEAL WITH THIS?THAT'S IT, THEY GOT US.IT'S OVER-
AND SAMANTALMOSS,THE HALL MONITER-
WE DON'T NEED YOUR 2 CENTS..IT'S NOT IMPORTANT.
GO TEND TO YOUR ONE FINGER,
YOU'LL NEED IT FOR THAT ONE CHORD YOU KNOW.
NUF SAID

i may only have one finger and limited theoretical knowledge of music but at least i've got the confidence in myself so that i have no need of bashing others AND i've also got the CAJONES to say who i am.
have a lovely day, sir or madam.
i think it's funny that someone like samantha would retaliate against an anonymous entity.it's like...oh snap, you told him..i mean her..i mean them?what?i also,think it's funny that this anon thing is really pissing some people off.YOU PEOPLE NEED SERIOUS HELP,YOU NEeD SOME LIGHTEN UP MEDICATION.anyway if your trying to put a anon in it's place your all too late..already happened last week.
"YOU'LL NEED IT FOR THAT ONE CHORD YOU KNOW. NUF SAID--"
What's wrong with you? Are you one of those guys that solos really loud at guitar center? Why don't you go write for Buddy magazine, Mr. Chops. And don't say "NUF SAID", we fucking decide that.
And on a related but contrary note, knowing a lot about the Denton scene is why I can generalize about them.
Why would you want to generalize anything? That sure makes everything boring. Individuals make for more interesting experiences.
blog wars is like, so last week.
"What's wrong with you? Are you one of those guys that solos really loud at guitar center? Why don't you go write for Buddy magazine, Mr. Chops."
those guys make me laugh. especially when they start battling. kinda reminds me
of this comment board.
i don't care if you're from Dallas,
Denton, or Fort Worth. if you post
anon or nonanon. if your scene is
better than our scenes. you're all
missing the point. my band needs a
drummer. Then i can gladly sit back
and watch you anonymously talk shit
about us.
washing machine is the band by the way.
good luck, earl. great drummers are worth theit weight in gold around here.
