how can you possibly not like this

Dessert didn't actually watch the video but he read the Wikipedia article and it made him rather upset.

Yeah, Dessert very succinctly missed the point.

Do you still live in some bizarro time warp to the 80's where nerds are all skinny white guys with glasses and pocket protectors?

Do you have ears?

Where did you see them in Knoxville? Most of the venues (except Bijou and Tennessee theater) around here have terrible terrible acoustics. It always ruins shows. I saw these bands play at Fireproof Storage on New Years and it was unlistenable, even though some of them were pretty good.

I've seen them at PAX East and Magfest, and PAX East has unbelievably shitty acoustics. Most terrible bands that play there (Those Who Fight, Minibosses) are made magnitudes worse. Listening to The Minibosses a year back was literally physically painful, due to the way they fucked up the pitch on one of the guitars.

The Protomen would've probably have been pretty shitty if all the limp-dicked wops hadn't already filed out of the convention center by their midnight showtime, and we were all able to move right up to the stage. At that distance, it doesn't make a huge difference how the sound is projected.

Still, it's noticeably better at Magfest. I never really thought acoustics would make much of a difference until I realized I couldn't hear entire instruments in some of these groups.

I saw them at NV nightclub which used to be Blue Cats. It sounded all right and it was pretty much a good place for them to play despite the place being a nightclub with a dress code which I find silly.

I went to a show at Fireproof this past New Years that was a bunch of local acts. I stayed there like 30 minutes enough to know my friends were already too drunk for me to catch up so I went to Sassy Anne's and had a better time.
