Who are you trying to prove something to?

That I’ve covered heavily, yes. I’ve also reviewed at least two 60 Watt Kid shows and mentioned them a few more times, but you didn’t ask about them.

What bands I’ve covered–I’ve covered lots of bands. It’s more important that I’ve been honest and true to myself, which I felt I have. (More on my music blogging philosophy here, but since you read so much of this blog, I’m sure you’ve already seen that.)

OK Well thanks for that. It’s really only Maus Haus then, out if the bands I mentioned.

Yup, I do: Maus Haus is plentiful and Railcars is a little sparse; I kept meaning to put Railcars on a mixtape or doing a live review but I ran out of time. Actually Anderson Congress wasn't featured--I was thinking of Burbank International, another band that has done stuff with AC a few times.

Is that right? I have never seen anything about Maus Haus Railcars or Anderson Congress on this site.

Dos you have links?

I went to Maus Haus’ first show and have written about them many times. I’ve also written about 60 Watt Kid and Railcars and I included Anderson Congress on an ipmn mixtape.

I like many of the folk offerings, but I’ve definitely covered other stuff. French Miami and Silian Rail are both great and can’t be called folk or folk pop. It would be a stretch to call John Vanderslice folk–he’s pretty directly in the indie pop tradition.

You seem to have decided, though, that my blog sucks and that’s fine; I didn’t write it for you or anyone else. This is all moot, though, because this blog has been essentially shut down.

Not many, they all seem to move. 60 Watt Kid, Gowns, Railcars, Anderson Congress, Little Teeth and Maus Haus.

There might be more, not sure, all people seem to write about it boring folk pop.

Okay Josh. Thanks for sharing.

Also I’ve never written about Sean Hayes but John Vanderslice is awesome. Who are your favorite SF bands, Josh?

I am so sick of boring SF bands and musicians. John Vanderslice, Sean Hayes, pretty much anything Adrian writes about… This blog sucks.
