[kj] Top 50 songs of 2000-2010

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

i heard folks standing in line at a KJ show in 200 were told the band 
had canceled and everyone would have to go home. Was that memorable for 
anyone>

A band that played as relentlessly and for as long as they did under 
shitty conditions for over 16 years will have off nights.

My two experiences seeing Fugazi live were admittedly incredible (one 
with a riot grl band,one with Netherlands old school anarcho-post 
-unkers The Ex), each one for diff. reasons. Fugazi have never canceed a 
show. OTOH on this ist I have heard a lot of complaints about flakiness 
vis a vis Jaz and Co.Having aid that, I do still believe Killing Joke 
are an amazing band, and in my personal pantheon, they are at least up 
there w/ Fugazi.

Fugazi, however, were almost militaristic in their dedication to being 
non-major label, making every show they scheduled, keeeping door prices 
low, ensuring all shows were all ages, etc., etc.

But: Keep in mind I am also someone who joined the list because, coming 
from a background of someone who like d sludgy hardcore, I thought 
Hosannas was a stroke of genius. And I found out, since joinin the list 
after that, many, many, MANY folks disagreed! :)
