well, i did just kill about an hour reading thru this thread… those Space City label guys, tough, seem nice enough, and certainly young and inexperienced enough. i’d cut ‘em some slack and bitch slap the HP who, although I can’t say for sure, since i dont live in houston, but i get the feeling they are still the real villains of the story. they’re still sucking from the Village Voice Media dick right?

I dunno. Yeah, you are right that in the end it’s meaningless – and if you read the commentary before that comes up quite often and I was talking with a label owner last night who agreed even though his label had put out some excellent releases over the past year and was overlooked in this category. But on the other hand I know what goes behind releasing album and so, appreciating the work, it does mean something to me that the fruit of their labor is recognized.

I also pay my way into shows I am reviewing (unless I am broke that week), once shoved money into a poster artists’ hands who didn’t want to be paid, and yes, I even pay for mp3s on-line. That’s the way I roll because I know what goes behind the work of a promoter, artist, and label.

So does it matter in the big scheme of things? no. does it matter to me? Yes.

Whosetown? Houstoned? As much as Space City Records gets early props from a forgettable award ceremony, this seems more about an aging scenester named Ramon needlessly needling nothing. Hello, it’s Houston and no one really gives a shit anyway.
