I don't give a crap about the "melodica festival" , what i care about are all the bands and fans that will be around to enjoy what someone with good intentions put together.

don't be a boob , have fun and get into it .

critique if you want but don't bash it especially since it hasn't even begun.

give the talent that's participating some props they are in it to share with you what they do!!!

drive, run or walk down to expo park this weekend!! for sure.

oh , and whats 355 talking about?

woops. looks like i missed the drawing.
oh well.

what don't you like about the comments section? how would you arrange it?

and melodica... tanks!! bye bye ben dover................

Does anyone else hate how the comments section looks?

sorry... by noon today.

was this posted on tuesday or wednesday?

do i have to email you before noon today or noon yesterday?

and how far has it gotten you?

Ha Ha!

fuckchop?!? oh lord please...
no, please, be sheep. that's just how obamarama wants it. yes, don't question a thing. i mean, really, look how far it's gotten you to date..................

Roger on the Tidbits. Gerard Bendixxxxxxxcks is a machine.

Read the observer article on Melodica today. Not really negative, but did not really say anything. They really need some real music writers at that paper.

where's the it list people?

can't wait to hear Light Bright Highway

I have nothing against the bands or WSJR at all,I was simply commenting on the humor I find in the fact that the comments section on here.The Melodica Festival is just another in in a long line of things being of some benefit getting slammed for everything from a bands placement on the poster,to the lineup.You don't HAVE to go,but you COULD put on your own festival if you wanted to see only the bands you want,as has been stated.Sure,there are positive statements here,and I do not think people should not be negative when they have valid points,but sometimes the comments are so ludicrous as to make me me laugh out loud,case in point,my simple (dis)exaggeration at the amount of bands I see on here spurred such vicious vitriol.I just find it humorous is all.Thanks for the memories.

I don't think anyone was trying to say that this blog covers just 5 bands, but there is more going in this city than people really know about. Weshotjr definately has the best local coverage, but they can't be everywhere......or can they.

Go to the blog and download some of the music from Tidbits. Incredible stuff in a similar vein as Henry Cow or Art Bears. Those guys have been active around here for over 2 decades and I bet most of ya'll have no idea who they are.

another good example is these guys:

http://quintetfortheendoftime.com/

It's a group started by SMU music professor Kevin Hanlon.They actually play stuff by Messiaen and Schoenberg along with origianl compositions. A perfect example of one of the acts that you never hear about that I would have liked to included in Melodica .

stop being sheep.

actually, don't fuck yourself fuckchop. lord knows you'd probably even fuck that up judging by how much you were proven wrong. you're probably used to it.

3:55, I'd go see that.

So your prob is with wsjr not being broad enough? Or do you automatically hold it against the bands that 2 guys like them and want to share the information that they are playing?

Yes sir,I will get right on that self gratification you speak of.Ha Ha.

sheeit. who says i am not?

Why are you not on the list 4:01.

i suspect woody's only on the list because he would have been playing at minc anyways. i can't think of any other reason.

eat avery's bones, best fwends, farah, chief death rage, undoing of david wright, night game cult, aphonic curtains, akkolyte, war wizardz, alex atchley experience, koji kondo, galuc dadu, angry businessmen, red monroe, shiny around the edges, bleach boys, current leaves, record hop, dust congress, j. gray, MATAS, blonde girls, idi amin, zanzibar snails, medicine window, mad scientists, the party, prince william, krispee ones, hot flash, cool out, treewave, chris garver, faux fox, great tyrant, oveo, black wizards, fake blood, pinebox serenade, tre orsi, theater fire, christian teenage runaway, voyant, loop 12, lost generation, tame tame and quiet... wait, which five bands were you talking about fuckchop? that's almost nearly fifty repeat offenders off the top of my head. lord knows there are many more. go fuck yourself.

Woody spins House. If you don't like House then you can go into the indoor stage and check out [a]pendics shuffle some pretty cutting edge techno or go around the corner and check out Sub Oslo.

You have a lot of choices this weekend.

I love the five bands posted on this site over and over again.

woody rosen sucks pretty bad. sounds like you're in a fucking restaurant at grapevine mills. deep dork house bullshit.

Could not have been said better, elderidge.

You can sit and hate.. or you can be part of the movement towards a brighter future.

"Or you can sit home and complain about how much dallas sucks."

Ha Ha...that sounds about right,but that's what makes these comment sections so enjoyable to read for me.There has to be more than the five bands I see posted on this site over and over again,and maybe Melodica will stir the pot a little and throw up a few more bands that will make the "It Lists" here,and therefore,a few more bands the readers can then complain about.

woops incomplete thought.....

I promise that if you go see the stuff you are not as familiar with(i.e. Yells at eels, Gerard Bendik Trio, Tidbits, molecule, Loop 12, Halo Kinetic, Total Vengeance, PSOAS, Subkommander, All in the Golden afternoon and lots more)you will not be dissapointed.

Or you can sit home and complain about how much dallas sucks.

Sorry. I disagree. every act playing really strong. I promise that if you go see the stuff you are not as familiar with(i.e. Yells at eels, Gerard Bendik Trio, Tidbits, molecule, Loop 12, Halo Kinetic, Total Vengeance, PSOAS, Subkommander, All in the Golden afternoon and lots more). The festival is to promote self awareness of the underground scene in your own back yard. The whole underground scene. If you choose to go and discover some new acts rather than just go see the stuff you know about you will probably be really surprised. If you wanna book a festival with a bunch out of town acts book your own fest. I wanted this to be much more about building our own community. There are quite a few bands from around here that I wish I could have squeezed in, but just could not fit anymore.

Don't be sheep. Go discover something cool without someone telling you it's cool first. Every act may not be for you, but I promise there is at least a few acts that you know nothing about that will possibly blow you away.

as far as an unorganized mess. without being behind the scenes i don't know how anyone could make that claim.

I challenge anyone to name any band on this roster that sucks, besides The Frenz that is. I already know many of naysayers that follow this blog think we suck(without ever actually seeing or hearing us).

having too much of a good thing does not seem like a bad thing at all.

don'y buy tickets & don't go if you don't dig it

Well boo fucking hoo!

Melodica should be only one day, the roster of bands are not strong enough to be spread across all those venues on all those dates. A little over kill and it will be an unorganized mess.
