Washington City Paper

I mean, they've written a few things about this record.

Like Washington City Paper did a really awesome, really deep, intense kind of retrospective when the record turned 10, I'm pretty sure.

Yeah.

And it's also in the 20 Years of Discord box set.

From here, it looks like a group of people.

But when you look at it, it's like, oh, like... not really, but it was kind of like a Sgt. Pepper thing.

Like, what's going on here? And, you know, the Washington City paper did a really good job of, like, digging into this.

Like, they were very conscious of who they wanted on there.

Hello, everybody.

We cook them three times.

We won Best French Fries in Washington, D.C. by Washington City Paper.

We soak them in water for 24 hours.

And then after that, we cook them low and slow in a poach for 10 minutes.

But back in 2009, there were, I guess it's kind of a two-handed question, but you must have been doing so much manual work to find all the shows.

And then on the other hand, did you feel like, well, Washington City Paper, Washington Post, they're writing about shows, but they're not writing about these shows.

So I want to highlight and consolidate metal shows and stuff.

yeah so like one thing too there were sites like even jacks jackson's kind of one of the early music you know concert venues that had a website with a calendar on it you know that was pretty novel at the time they kept that same old ass looking geocities calendar for a long ass time but it was still like when they created that there was very you know ahead of the time in this area um But one of the things, outside of, like, Jax, pretty much, all these venues were getting shows, and they weren't really announcing or marketing, I guess, their metal shows very well to the metal community.

Hello, everybody.

Think of the era of Blockbuster.

The law was enacted by Congress after then-Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork's personal video rental history was obtained and published in an article by the Washington City Paper.

The Supreme Court appeared pretty uncomfortable on Wednesday with allowing a new wave of lawsuits from internet users under the law over the practice of sharing customers' online data with advertisers.

Several justices suggested that this 1988 law was not meant to cover that kind of technology, and Congress did not have that new type of internet technology and streaming platforms in mind when it wrote the law.
