mammoth rekkids holiday party of yore pick-up cover
band featuring ed from ohio et al. played covers which
would have made the wusses blush. was not cover-uppity
in the sense that they did not pick one band which to
lionize.

obvious:

it's not a contest between troika and cover-up. that
is, you can like both.

accretions of otherwise-unrelated local musicians are
one thing what make new local bands. cover-up has much
the same effect as rock lotto as far as lasting
legacies. it shakes things up. if it doesn't get
people working together, it at least lets people know
why.

peeps i talked to *all* would appreciate troika more
if it would go back to being in one place at a time.
having to choose which venue from the menu at any
given time was too much of a sxsw or cmj fuckfest. it
was kinda anti-scene-defining. not that we don't
appreciate that.

all in all, if you had to look it up in a dictionary,
like "what is this 7 brides thing y'all are talking
about?," and find a good, concise, portable definition
in one place, well then, the cover-up would be about
as "scene-defining" as anything i've heard.

todd wins.
