i can see what he's talking about, but music is their job and like anyone else they take their job seriously.

ha ha i love that article cos it has a lot of truth in it, while rocknroll doesnt have to be "evil" or whatever, the music scene used to be a lot of fucking puritans-- things have chanced since, there's a lot more pop coming out of dc these days, and bands like dead meadow who are a bunch of junkies, ha ha.

Please Kill Me is by far my favorite.

Space is the Place: The Lives and Times of Sun Ra was my favorite for a single artist.

Yeah, that's def. a possibilty, but I just hate having to commute. I like to wake up, slap myself into reality, and be at work in no later than 20 mins.

But yes, you do what you have to do.....and to work at the National Gallery I'd do it!!

anyway that train rules cos you can read/sleep in it, it's stress free, puts you at union station in no time & you can either walk to the national gallery or hop on the metro. i'd say walk, it's pretty close.

MARC TRAIN

the national gallery is FUCKING AWESOME.

I agree, long live the National Gallery.

That Picasso exhibit they had back in 99/00ish was one of the greatest things ever.

To stand infront of La Vie was incredible......big!!

well baltimore has the walters. a little chaotic, but a sweet place.

The Walters is good, but I much prefer the BMA....really nice modern art collection.

But yeah, the BMA, the Walters, and MICA are always on the radar during my current job hunt.
