Articles

• Random local band news: DC thrashers Absolute Vengeance were on this episode of Brutally Delicious Food Show.

• The latest on BYT‘s “Write a suicide note to win Morrissey tickets” situation: If you didn’t think that BYT changed the contest on its own, you were right. Alex Baca at the Washington CityPaper talked to a representative of contest sponsor IMP, who confirmed that IMP asked BYT to change the contest. To catch up on how this story unfolded, here’s the backstory: BYT posted a contest on Monday asking readers to write suicide notes in order to enter a contest to win tickets to Morrissey’s show at Strathmore. I wrote about this in Tuesday’s Music Notes. The Washington CityPaper picked up the story later that day and got some quotes from BYT managing editor Logan Donaldson. On Tuesday night, BYT quietly changed the contest to say “string together a couple of paragraphs using only Morrissey’s lyrics”; I printed the full text of the new contest and a rant from their Assistant Editor Stephanie Breijo in Wednesday’s Music Notes, and DCist picked up the story, getting an additional quote from Donaldson. THEN, BYT took its contest down entirely (if you click on the contest link now, you’re taken to a login page). The Washington CityPaper reported on that, with an additional statement from Donaldson. And once again, here’s the CityPaper’s interview with IMP spokesperson Audrey Schaefer.

• Chris Richards on Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen, “It’s Always a Good Time” [Washington Post].

• Interview (sort of): David Malitz posts an email from David Berman of Silver Jews [Washington Post].

• Interview: Siriam Gopal talks to jazz bassist Michael Bowie of Siné Qua Non [DCist].

• Interview: Sweet Tea Pumpkin Pie talks to Joey Harrison of Fire and the Wheel.

• On the documentary Bad Brains: a Band in DC, airing as part of Silverdocs: Mark Anderson [Washington CityPaper] and Valerie Paschall [DCist].

• Anne Midgette continues her coverage of the NSO‘s South American tour [Washington Post].

• I’m not sure about the objectivity of the 9:30 Club’s blog posting album reviews for bands that are playing the 9:30 club, but here is Kelsey Butterworth’s review of Jukebox the Ghost: Safe Travels [930club.tumblr.com]. At the 9:30 Club on Friday 6/29.
