>>>reading unfailing positivity all the time in the indy for every touring
>>>band that comes down the pike is
just as boring as reading the snarks and disses in the indy.

I would agree IF this were true. But they do not cover every single
show. Believe me, as a club owner, I do take it as a diss if a show
I've booked is not written about. Now granted, most people wouldn't
notice - but I do, and I know most bands do.

Heck, this is how I found out about this section to begin with - when
one of the members of the touring entourage that played last week
pointed out the write-up of one of the bands on the bill - Stars of
Track & Field. To paraphase their response - "the band must have done
something personally to the writer to piss them off that badly."
Little did I know at the time that my response should have been 'no,
this is something they do on a weekly basis!"

With that said, most people who read the music section pick up the
Indy for guidance on their nightlife. Heck, it says that right on the
cover - "1000 Things To Do."
