I don't know if it means that the BLC is more "underground" or less "underground" this year than last--it isn't congruous with the name--perhaps a name-change is in order (then it would sound like Chinese restaurant--Good Fortune Town). We're still on a plateau but that's totally cool, since the only really interesting thing that we did in the last year was that live score for the Bruce Bickford animation. Every time I see the results of such a contest, I'm really curious about what goes through a voter's mind. Did they get "instructions for the jury?" The spurious regressor in me really would love to get the data and make some bullshit hypotheses up.
I'm stoked that Ian won, though. His record really doesn't do it for me, but when he opened for us at the Artopia (just before the break dancers), he blew me away solo. I don't understand how some groups didn't garner more (or any) votes--certainly some folks work a lot harder than we do.
Apparently, we're out of cat food. Damn.

I'm not sure how my band got 16 points and people who sure do get out there more and seem to work harder got nothing.
Anyway, Ian got 20 points from me. I've never seen him with the whole band so most of my memories of his shows come from early on when the guy would be absolutely amazing every single time. He used to be roommates with one of my exes and such a cool guy.
I thought the upper eschelons was a bit Baker District heavy and the bands that people said they were into was a bit too much the same and not very interesting, for the most part. But whatever, people are gonna like what they're gonna like. The Swayback's choices, oddly enough, were more interesting and at least Ian named some obscure people.
Oh well, someday it'll all be silly. Someday? Today.
