Re: Monday 8/31 --> A simple Myspace music search for "Abodox" brings up their page. So how can you even bring up some "no internet presence" speculation? Oh, a'ight, I see by the likes of your "Abadox" error that ya may simply be scatterbrained... or disinterested. Whatever the case, this preview's LAZINESS is f***** blowin' me away. YOU, Sir, are the SLEEPY WORKER. And that's no "guess" - it's a simple fact. The Abodox make music. And they do it well. You edit the music section. Be. more. like. The. Abodox... ***EXCEL*** 8)

Thank you Mr. Cook for using your Saturday night "Up & Coming" spot to trash talk major bands everyone knows and hates instead of doing real work and finding a great Seattle show that could actually use the publicity.

That was a little harsh. I'm just hungover and bitter. Thanks for writing about the Jucifer show.

touche. talking trash on Nickelback is like shooting fish in a barrel. feel free to also gimme shit for using a preview to bitch about the music biz instead of actually discussing the band at hand. totally guilty on both counts.

for the record, i solicit previews for a variety of shows every week, but there is only so much space allotted to the music section and the paper has to strike a balance between covering cool underground stuff that people SHOULD go see (Jucifer), and reporting on the more obvious bigger name acts that people, sadly, often WANT to see (Nickelback). hopefully the Saturday previews for shows at The Greenhouse, Sunset, Crocodile, Neumos, Funhouse, and Tractor offset my rant about crappy radio rock.

now go see Helms Alee and Police Teeth tonight.

Please wait...
