Micah P. Hinson Gets Stereogum Nod

• thanks for the heads up peeet

• the only reason this site started covering denton so much is because we shot jr has been kicking its fucking ass for two and a half years on this shit. the stuff the observer wrote about in this past few months was written about on we shot jr back in mid '06. get a clue, dumbass.

• Pete - Ignore this disgusting drivel. We finally get a music editor that has considers Denton to be consistently worth covering and this is how some self-important egomaniac reacts? Fuck 'em. Kudos for actually going to shows, and facilitating stuff like North of The Dial without just copying and pasting weshotjr. We need the diversity, keep it up.

• Just spreading the word is all...

• ...and Fucked Up. Don't forget Fucked Up. Though you probably haven't heard of them.

• So...it's perfectly acceptable for a Micah P. Hinson mention on Stereogum to be considered newsworthy, but you questioned a Fight Bite mention on the same website? Pete, let me break it down for you: 1. Micah P. Hinson is on a GIGANTICALLY POPULAR record label called Jade Tree. Ya know, Pedro The Lion, Alkaline Trio, My Morning Jacket, Jets To Brazil Jade Tree Records? Sound Familiar? It is actually not news at all. 2. Fight Bite was some tiny little local project that was mentioned on a couple of local blogs and then Stereogum wrote about them, so that actually was newsworthy, but your ignorant publication didn't think so. Instead, you waited until way after the fact to mention a tiny local band getting national attention in a negative light, like the jerk that you are. So what did you do this morning, read the first press release or publicity company blanket letter and decide to run with it? Did someone finally explain to you what Stereogum is? Fool.
