haha what? these both sound like entries in some pre-teen's diary.
  
anonymous says..11:01 AM
  
given the fact that there are components known as an EQ and a LIMITER, CC's excuse from a sound perspective is definitely bullshit; and ignorant, possibly libelous, bullshit at that
  
T-Bone says..11:15 AM
  
the sound at the Granada does completely suck, surprised the people that run it haven't been informed of that before last night. that said it seems like everyone involved in this mess could have handled things better
  
cliffnotes says..11:26 AM
  
i'm gonna leave the drama for the babys mama
  
T-Bone says..11:37 AM
  
Why does it keep reposting the same thing from me?
  
anonymous says..11:38 AM
  
Granada sound does need some work.
  
t-boner says..11:39 AM
  
Because your name is stupid.
  
superbligged84 says..11:39 AM

anonymous says..12:05 PM
  
hahahaha
  
anonymous says..12:16 PM
  
I want so badly to like them, especially after seeing the completely insane shit they did in Austin, but it seems like any given show is a roll of the dice with them: you either get a half-assed 40-minute performance or the best show of your life. Or, in the case of Dallas, no show at all. Fuck.
  
anonymous says..12:35 PM
  
Nice "journalism". Really? Copy/pasting from Gorilla vs. Bear.
  
anonymous says..12:35 PM
  
you kids are complaining bc you can anonymously. good job. keep complaining and boycotting, that way you can just stay at home and we dont have to hear your bitching anymore.
  
stonedranger says..12:52 PM
  
Actually, we were the first to report on all of this and we talked with Vega and people from the Granada yesterday afternoon, last night and today-- we alerted our readers about all of it starting at 6pm yesterday afternoon and were the first to report what the principals were saying. The only thing we didn't get on our own was the email from CC's management, which we pasted from Gorilla vs Bear. We linked him and gave him credit for publishing it first. There are some other sites around here that could learn from the way we handled it, to be perfectly frank.

Never Forget says..12:54 PM
  
This is bigger than 9/11
  
anonymous says..12:58 PM
  
this is what happens when all of you stop listening to real music and stop going to real venues. you should all be happy you got what you wanted
  
stonedranger says..1:22 PM
  
Please name real music and real venues thanks
  
tim duncan says..1:23 PM
  
im back! vega is a thief!!!!
  
fake venues says..1:27 PM

stonedranger says..1:34 PM

anonymous says..1:50 PM

stonedplunger says..1:59 PM
  
I heart fake venues 2 ya'll
  
Peter Prideful says..2:02 PM
  
glad i saw them last year at haileys...cheaper, smaller, they actually played, and i learned i'd never want to see them again
  
anonymous says..2:13 PM
  
40 Minute set??? For CC? People can stand that shit for longer than 30 seconds? I'm impressed.
  
anonymous says..2:20 PM
  
Crystal Casholes Drama-rama !
  
Cannibal Cheerleader says..2:49 PM
  
We've got the full story and the Austin show review over at www.cannibalcheerleader.com!
  
t-bone says..3:01 PM
  
your friend lied, and my name is dumb, blame my parents
  
t-bone says..3:05 PM
  
that is what i thought, but i didn't refresh, i actually exited my browser, came back to the page, and it repeated my post
  
anonymous says..3:07 PM
  
cc cancellation... hipster watergate...
  
anonymous says..4:39 PM
  
like i said DFA 1979 was waaay better.
  
anonymous says..4:43 PM
  
real music = music actually being played by people on real musical instruments, not hitting buttons on computers or playing "records" .... real venues= places that are built/ meant for performances, not someones shitty house.DUUUUHHH
  
rick (1919 hemphill isn't a real venue) says..7:08 PM
  
I went to the Crystal Castles myspace to see if i could catch any angry comments. But for some reason they all stop at april 14th. hmmmmm...
  
surfer girl says..7:09 PM
  
Well, I saw the Butthole Surfers there and it sounded great. I seriously doubt CC had more potential to completely destroy the Granada's system than BHS.
  
anonymous says..7:35 PM
  
to the above anon idiot.Real Music = I guess Kraftwerk is not real music, but some kids that can barely play their "instruments" is real music. get bent. small minded idiot.
  
anonymous says..8:24 PM
  
granada needs to learn to crank that shit up, the music is never loud enough there.
  
anonymous says..8:59 PM
  
nope
  
anonymous says..9:01 PM
  
rick stfu with all your myspace talk i swear you love it too much
  
anonymous says..10:31 PM
  
what the hell? are people actually talking badly about house shows?Go to hell
  
t-bone says..6:21 AM
  
house shows do get a little old, because there are always people there with this rockist attitude
  
EL BONE says..7:43 AM
  
that is correct, but they can be knocked off their perches with periodic references to reality and why not to get high on the fumes emanating from one's own cunt, etc.
  
anonymous says..9:32 AM
  
most house shows just recycle the same bands anyway. get me something interesting, mix it up a little bit, and then maybe no one will talk shit
  
anonymous says..9:35 AM
  
Hey, 9:32, you speak largely out of ignorance, and you know what? that's okay. Nobody gives a fuck about impressing you. You're the kind that would talk shit no matter what. Fuck you.
  
anonymous says..10:50 AM
  
what are you even talking about 9:35? you're doing the exact same thing that you're accusing me of.... why don't you go ahead and explain all the bad ass house shows that have been going on lately? i've been to quite a few, and i've had a good time... but the whole thing runs a bit thin when it feels like the same bands at the same houses w/ the same people in attendance. I'm not accusing people of not trying, i just think it all gets stagnant and i'd love to see something a little less quaint than what i've been seeing at house shows lately.now, how do you want to refute that... how am i speaking largely out of ignorance? you're just talking, and that's okay... but you'd make a lot more since if you'd actually bother explaining what you're talking about.
  
anonymous says..10:59 AM
  
and after that... who knows, maybe an agreement is made. maybe someone "takes the bull by the horn".... but you're right. fuck me.i remember the house parties in denton at the yellow house. touring bands, bands from france (the fatals)... all sorts of interesting shit going on. now, i don't see that as being the case. i'm sure it happens on occation, but i'd like to see and hear more.shit, i think the same thing about the double-wide, the cavern, and a lot of venues around dallas that used to have a pretty consistent variety of good shows..... it's not happening w/ as much regularity. i don't need to see the king bucks every weekend. whatever you want to think, but i used to go to 2 or 3 shows every weekend, and now i barely bother w/ any shows. i've been to the double-wide twice this year so far (both times king bucks just happened to be playing... i wasn't there to see anyting specific), and if i go to the cavern i usually end up staying upstairs. maybe if i were from denton i would have a different perspective, but i'm not.. dallas doesn't have much going on, and i haven't seen anything going on in denton that is worth the drive time. there is SOME stuff, no doubt. but not nearly enough for my tastes, my money, and my time
  
anonymous says..10:59 AM
  
that is pretty ignorant, though. i'll admit that.
  
anonymous says..11:00 AM
  
house shows are cool, but shows at good venues with good sound systems can be a really incredible experience. It's nice to have shows run on time and actually be able to properly hear the music the way it is supposed to sound.
  
anonymous says..11:37 AM
  
Shut up
  
anonymous says..1:45 PM
  
rockist attitude? that is effing hilarious...
  
concerned korn fan says..4:49 PM
  
"real" musicians play their instruments at their feet. nuff said
  
anonymous says..5:31 PM
  
thetricky show is whenthesoundwentbadatgranada. its prince william's fault.
  
jeez beez says..1:21 PM
  
We only play at Nokia or Kyle's Kitchen.Complaing about the sound at Granada is sheer faggotry. Nothins ever good enough for some fuckers.
