I’m back!
Hey all – I’m (finally) back on the grid. Thanks so much for all of your feedback and words of encouragement after my request for feedback last week! I’m still working out what direction these Music Notes should take, but I think that my plan is to publish twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays) through the end of August, then decide how frequently to publish in September going forward. I’ve also gotten some requests to send these Music Notes out as a daily email, for those who don’t use RSS, so I’ll be working on that too. So stay tuned! And remember that any thoughts or suggestions are always welcome, either by posting a comment here or via email,
showlistdc@gmail.com . Thanks for reading!

• Local Venue News: Baltimore’s Sonar is closed, as of today [Baltimore CityPaper]. The news was first posted officially by Maryland DeathFest on Facebook , who wrote, “Sonar (the home of MDF since 2006) is closing. Why? That’s not important. What is important is that we’ve known about this situation for months, and we were already searching for a new location only a few days after MDF X ended. Currently, we have THREE locations to choose from, all of which would be in Baltimore.” The Baltimore CityPaper wrote an article back in May that the Feds had named Sonar in a pot conspiracy indictment . We’re working to figure out where all of the shows scheduled for Sonar are moving (you can follow our list of Sonar shows here ).

And if you’ve forgotten how this all came about, here’s the Washington CityPaper’s interview with the band about how it all came about in the first place .
• Time Machine: Read this 1979 Geoffrey Himes article on disco [Washington Post]. [N]o music since the earliest rock ‘n’ roll has inspired the kind of backlash that disco has suffered. At rock concerts now, it seems every fourth person is wearing a t-shirt with an obscene, anti-disco slogan on it. Meanwhile, backstage the performers are dreaming up new put-downs of disco for interviewers. If one listens to the records, however, disco hardly seems worth all the fuss. It’s simple, harmless dance music that’s unlikely to either ruin or revolutionize popular music. Most of the music is mediocre; the best of it has the irresistible energy of any perfected pop form. The most important pop music of any era, however, is seldom the music that sells the most. Disco is not the music of this era that will last.
