i'm just going to cut and paste what i just posted on gothamist. yep, it's come to this people. i'm not even going to change the "we" to "i". anyway, this will be fun!:
CMJ is coming up next month, and as we've mentioned we'll be opening the doors to Gothamist House again this year. We've got a big announcement to share, along with some little details of interest if you plan to attend any of the shows:
Our favorite radio station has come on board! WOXY will be broadcasting live from Gothamist House all week. The show will be streaming on their website, and later the "best of" will be compiled into a neat little podcast you can carry around with you on your portable music listening device of choice!
The House is free (no badges required), will be open from 2pm to around 8:30pm each day from October 17th through October 20th and will be at The White Rabbit (145 E. Houston Street) again. Have to work? Listen on WOXY til you can come out and see the bands live! We'll be announcing the lineups in early October, so stay tuned for that. And again, if you're interested in becoming a sponsor for the show, please email GothamistHouse (a) gmail dot com.
Great, I guess this means I can start copying and pasting my bitter, incoherent Gothamist comments here, too. Here's one: Great, can't wait for the "big announcement" about Gothamist House - it's probably about that hipster d-bag in your flickr feed (holding a Heinekin of course, because he's trying to be ALTERNATIVE by not drinking PBR)and how he's making a movie about himself and Gothamist people partying and we'll all have to read about it on Gothamist AND your blog AND see the movie. Actually, I already know the announcement: ALL the bands you pick will be white hipsters who play BORING INDIE ROCK like Arcade Fire and there won't a single band of Andalusian jew's harp players among them.

I'm not going to be THAT harsh (jeez, Deb...or maybe I just don't get the joke), but I will say that this blog is just a shadow of its past. It used to be so cool to come here and discover new things, hear new bands and see what was going down around town. Now it's sad and quiet and there's almost no point in reading it at all. I know that's not too motivating, but what happened to the old Jen who was, in fact, so motivated to share cool shit? Whatever happened to New Music Day?
