I happen to like music that can be broadly categorized as "shoegazing" and "noise-pop." So if anyone else is a fan of such genres, and who's also in the DC/MD/VA area, there is a local music fest full of bands who make music in those genres: MySpace.com - DNA in the DNA Radio WMUC Radio 88.1 FM - 101 - Male - COLLEGE PARK, Maryland - www.myspace.com/dnainthedna

I've seen a couple of these bands live before, and while they are by no means mind-blowing, they are pretty decent, IMO.

Free is good. I'll see if I can talk my buddy into it. He says he's "over" experimental type musics, but he might be into the poppier stuff like Violet and Lampshades.

Alright, now you're just fucking with me.

Fucker.
