If you’re a fan of the Local Natives, you can catch them at the Camden Barfly this month, they’re doing a gig for Sailor Jerry Rum. Found out about it here http://www.rivmixx.com/latest-headlines/win-tickets-for-local-natives-and-more/7690/1 , check it out if you wanna go see them…Rivmixx are actually offering the chance to win free tickets.

It’s okay “!!!” it happens. I understand. What did you consider immature? I am curious just so I can avoid those type of questions in the future. Keep in mind I am trying to keep things a bit lighter since its just my blog.

I am a sophomore in college, you are correct. What exactly do you mean that I scoop the other blogs? Most of the stuff I post is decided by myself. Maybe they post the same stuff but I’m not necessarily just scooping their stuff.

Either way thanks for the compliments! I will continue to stay the course!!

I’m sorry Will. I was having a bad day when I ripped apart this interview.

I’m actually a full-time journalist myself, who works too much for too little at a newspaper I don’t really like. I’m a Local Natives fan and was turned off by some of the more immature things in the piece, but then again, you are probably a freshman or sophomore in college, so you ARE young and I can’t slight you for it.

And don’t wish to be Rollingstone, your blog is 1,000 times more relevant than that rag. You don’t write about the Rock N’ Roll hall of fame everyday like they do.
Often your blog is my go-to blog for current music news (esp. when it comes to Julian Casablancas or Arctic Monkeys updates).

You usually “scoop” the other blogs – gorilla vs. bear, MOKB, Aqaurium Drunkard – and get the stuff people actually care about out faster than the people making much more $$$ at it than you.

Cheers mate. You’re doing great things. Stay the course. Again, sorry for the harshness.

@!!!, would you care to explain? First of all, explain why this is a “junior high entertainment feature”. Keep in mind that this is my personal music blog, where I am asking my own set of questions. This isn’t Rolling Stone lol. I am just trying to give people some insight on the band. I want to keep things more laid back here.

Thanks for trying to offer some form of criticism but if it would help if it was more constructive. It would also help if you weren’t anonymous!

This is such a fan-boy interview. I feel like I’m reading something for a junior high entertainment feature. God help real journalists.
