And my take is all opinion based on an impression.
There's really not too much blues here these days, outside of the Usual White Underbiter guys you can find in most towns. Austin's more of a honky-tonk town with a thriving indierock scene.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Heh. Is this in reference to the face they make whilst soloing?

Dallas has a really decent blues scene these days.

Not blues, but yes we do. Though perhaps not for long is my understanding. I think Justin was talking about moving to CA.

Oh yeah. If you can't see their upper teeth, the music's just no good, man, 'cause that means they aren't feeling it.

Nah, it's another Blue Oyster Cult tribute band.

Wouldn't that be the Soft White Underbiters?

Up with the sun
Ms. Aguilera's work is feminist?
It's very feminist, in a Madonna sort of way, compared to a lot of other music for 13-year-old girls. I personally don't think she's saying anything Gloria Steinem & co. didn't say 35 years ago, but she bugs me to begin with. (Xtina, not the Ms-istas.)
I think that the writer has a point (which is, in fact, a point I made to a overly dismissive metalhead music critic the other day), but I think rockism is built on class issues
Absolutely. Class and race, which are very intertwined in America.

Bands don't technically pay to play any more in Los Angeles. There are a few clubs that make bands sell tickets ahead of time and then they have to pay for anything they don't sell.
But the main system I've seen is that you have to guarantee x number of people will show up for your band (they ask each person at the door which band they are there to see). If you don't meet the agreed upon figure, you don't have to pay, but it will probably be your last show at that club.
