Times Boredom the last local music rag standing

Posted on December 21, 2018 by k

Yet another local music publication is closing its doors. So long, All Over Albany…

In other news, we just heard the Low Beat is for sale too. WTF?! Local music is coming apart at the seams…

Following the shutdown of the Alt in September, that leaves only terrible little bullshit sites like our own to cover the entire local music scene in the Capital District. We are so sorry. We swear it’s not our fault.

But now that we think of it, we’re pretty much all you’ve got left now, unless you wanna read the crappy arts section of the local news publications that ‘don’t know shit about shit’! So suck it up and read our drivel! MUWAH HA HAH HA HA! WE’RE THE ONLY TASTE MAKERS NOW! WE CAN MAKE OR BREAK YOUR BAND! GIVE US FREE PASSES TO YOUR SHOWS! BUY US BEERS! SEND US SEXY MEN AND WOMEN! OR ELSE!

Seriously, we mourn the loss of another great local music/events source and look forward to abusing our newfound power.

Dude, you’re playing in Burnt Hills tonight!

Jackson says you’re in the Burnt Hills improv set tonight so strap on your guitar and get down there!

He says they have enough amps that you can double into someone else’s, but you need to bring your guitar and be there about 7 PM.

Oh and for tonight’s improv jam, as long as you’re familiar with your mixolydian in G Minor you should be fine — you know Garcia blues for Allah era. Easy stuff.

Also Grab Ass Cowboys may want you to do some screaming into an instrument mic through an fx processor on one of their tracks so bring an sm57 and a couple pedals if you remember.

Show starts at the Low Beat at 8 PM. Don’t be late!

Times Union Asininely Responds to Times Boredom

Posted on December 5, 2018 by k

We recently criticized Times Union’s (you can find the article here) publishing and calling attention to yet another conservative, anti-Union, anti-state worker, anti-labor group’s biased studies and failing to at least publish any ‘liberal’ groups’ (such as NYPIRG) policy papers as well.

Here’s their tepid response:

Liz Moran joins NYPIRG

Seriously? You think we’ll be mollified that you’re reporting about a specific person joining NYPIRG instead of you actually even publishing one of their position papers, much less a ‘fair and balanced’ position paper that responds to the claims you’ve been publishing over the years that denigrates state workers’ abilities, says they get paid too much, that they’re the reason the state will go bankrupt (ok we took liberties with that last one, but we’re a real fake news organization. We’re allowed.)?

Get a clue Times Union. You suck.
