Brian Smith of The Metro Times says nice things about our friends MotorCityRocks.com, who are the gold standard out there for postive local music blogging anywhere. Also interesting to note they have a piece on Ann Gordon, who runs a really hip art blog and works cross-town for Real Detroit sometimes. An alt-weekly peace accord since I left time? Or sly off-season trade positioning? Careful Dusenberry, they’re gonna try to buy her love away.

Grambones seemingly gets snubbed because he writes about a world outside of the D sometimes. That’s fine, they had they’re angle and they’re sticking to it. Joel and I got snubbed because of complicated racial politics, which need not be explained here.

Also we don’t live in Detroit.
