Good coverage, especially about you and Don Draper. Maybe you forgot what you were covering? Here's your award; best waste of 3 minutes writing a story.
Maybe you should send a non-alcoholic reporter to cover your biggest music event of the year?
Seriously, it took you two days to puke out this horseshit and put up two lousy pictures?
This article and its take remind me of the grunge days. MTV came through Lawrence and when asked about the music scene replied, "It sucks". That assessment is so detrimental to any community. It also pisses off all the people busting their asses. Rethink your words.
this is fun and all, but how bout a list of those who actually won somewhere on your website?
I live half a block away from the Rock Cafe and if I have to endure one more day of that shit I will go over there myself and destroy their PA. The music SUCKS. It's loud enough that it comes through my walls and I cannot even take a nap in my own house on a Saturday. Or hear myself THINK, for that matter. Most of the time they have bands playing ALL DAY LONG and they are the kind of bands that suck so much that they would never be able to get a gig anywhere else in town. This place is NOT a legitimate business. It needs to end.

I just stumbled on this article -- typically, for me, four months late -- and I have mixed feelings about it. You can take Doughty at his word, or you can side with De Gli Antoni and Ella Button (above) and say Mike's a psychopath and call his addiction story a ruse. The fact is, if you weren't there you can't know the story or who's telling the truth.
I love Doughty's solo work (although "Yes and Also Yes" was a bit disappointing) and love Soul Coughing. I'd like to see Mike perform live, but not as much as I did when he still played SC songs.
What really amazes me, though, is that there has never been another band with anything like the sound of Soul Coughing. SC put out three albums on which nearly every single track is practically a masterpiece of sonic genius. It's really a shame they broke up, but only because apparently ONLY this particular dysunctional combo could ever make these incredible sounds.
i was there, not as a competitor, just another regular patron of moxie's. i would like to remind you, night ranger, of the hurt you caused to "Stephanie", with biased, exaggerated, and highly embellished details, in regards to that evening. yes, while some conduct is definitely risque, a multitude of "observations" were, well, lies. you made her sound like a whore, in my opinion, as immature retaliation for your friend not winning. stephanie was mortified, not of her conduct, of your 'depiction" of her. from dj, to staff, to other observers, we all know the truth. it must be sad your journalism abilities aren't up to par, that you resort to falsifying and juicy slander. have a great week! heather
"I've Gotta Get a Message to You" is Robin. House of Lords wasn't ever released, so it's hard to see it as a bid for America other than Bee Gees trying their hands in every old sub-genre of pop writing there was, during a period when Stigwood rode them like slaves to max his returns from a 5-year contract with these showbiz teen unknowns.
Actually I'm the owners daughter he is not a trustfund baby anon4 you all think you know what your talking about when really none of you have given the place a chance. We have great quality food, awesome coffee, and unlike the other businesses we like to serve everyone no discrimination. It's America equal rights. The music is not that bad when a bus drives by it reaches at least 80 decibels. If you want to talk about disrespectful the lady that lives in the apartment behind the cafe blares her metal music above our music. I see no one complaining about her.
If they'd add a big name band or two to the plaza arts festival it'd be blow up and turning an even larger boon for the economy.
There are plenty of things Louisville has that I wish KC had (in a nutshell: they have much better bars, much better architecture, their Cordish disaster seems to be slightly less disastrous than ours, and they have Churchill Downs if you're into that sort of thing. In our favor, the Z-Man is a whole lot better than the Hot Brown.). But I don't envy them a freaking music festival. I love live music, but holy Jesus do I ever hate music festivals. As Sid says, if I want to go see Neko Case or Wilco, I'll go see Neko Case or Wilco. And if I want to discover new music, I'll read record reviews, listen to stuff, check out random stuff at the Record Bar that people seem excited about...none of which require me to stand in a big field full of sweaty people or wear a wristband while I hold spots in lines outside of bars like I'm waiting for the last tickle-me-Elmo doll. I mean, I guess it's good for journalists since you get to review a lot of stuff (and I suspect you get to jump some lines), but my interest in music fests pretty well disappeared along with my 20's.
"nastiest fast-food chain in the United States"?!?
I live about 5 meters from them. I don't care about the kind of music, where the moron (anyone showing up in court in a tank top and shorts is a moron) got his money, what they serve, who they like, dislike, etc. etc. ad nauseum. Live music at +70db (I have a sound meter and have measured 100db and more at times) is unacceptable; particularly every night and every weekend.
I remember going to the blues and jazz fesitvals when I was little. It was an annual event for my family. What the hell happened to that thing?
I guess we have cockfest. If you are into methamphetamine, juggalos, muffin tops, bad tats and camel toe...
Downloaded songs of his off the internet in like 07 and loved it. Then saw him a couple years later in Eureka Springs and couldn't believe how young he was. Show was awesome and glad he's in KC. Be well worth it.
Are you actually FROM around here? If you were you would know Kansas City has had festivals even larger than the one you mention in the past, they all went bankrupt. The Kansas City Spirit Festival was around for 20 years. It died a slow and painful death from lack of civic and public support. There are many, many things that go into an event being competitive. Unfortunately, KC has very few of them.
Re: “Tying one on at the 2012 Pitch Music Awards”
See! Look at how important and special this event is! And how much it helps the local musicians! I'm so happy to know the same band lost the same category for five years. What were we going for again?
Maybe you guys can trot out the same shit next year, jerk each other off and I won't participate then either.
