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 .

• 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.
