I was thinking that these days, what one ...Thanks.<br /><br />I was thinking that these days, what one happens to hear is hit and miss, but I guess it is always that way. In my younger days, I listened to WHFS, which was great, but I pretty much missed punk because I didn't listen to WGTB. So maybe it is no different today, just that the random sources are different. <br /><br />We moved to Wheaton in '90, so getting to the 930 was suddenly difficult, and I hardly saw any live music from 1990 to 2009. Now I seem to be in permanent catch-up mode.

It is s...Good idea. I will tackle this one shortly. It is something I have discussed and debated with friends for decades. I will say that I almost missed this one myself. I wanted to see the Entrance Band at the Kills show on Sunday, but it sold out on me, so that left me looking for a Sunday or Monday show (since two days off is a rarity for me anymore). I searched the local club listings, vetoed something on Sunday and then just listned to the myspace songs of F&O for about three minutes and decided to give them a chance, if I felt awake and healthy enough for it. I am glad I did, obviously. But there is a whole system of how to find music and it has certainly changed. I'll lay it all out sometime.David Hintzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14126423279995586770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864329249330958181.post-56045802386440051482011-04-27T02:27:22.294+01:002011-04-27T02:27:22.294+01:00Bummed I missed the F&Os - maybe next time. I...Bummed I missed the F&Os - maybe next time. I didn't get around to listening to them until Sunday, and didn't get it together to get downtown in time Monday. The schlep into town is yet another downside of living in the 'burbs.<br /><br />If you get a chance sometime, I and probably other people would be interested in a column on where you hear new music (please don't just say "the internet..."). On the rare occasions that I drive my car, I usually listen to ancient cassette tapes - I have an old car w/o a CD player, WAMU has no music, WPFW has no rock, and the occasional good song on DC101 is 20 years old and the band is either playing areanas, or is dead. I'd love to know where I might have heard the F&Os beforehand. I try to make it out if I can expect to almost certainly enjoy a band, but it's hard to hear much of anything new. Any suggestions would be appreciated.Chrisnoreply@blogger.com
