Line Out - Comments on Digitalism @ Chop Suey http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/10/digitalism Digitalism photo by Donte Parks Of the handful of electronic shows I've seen in the last couple weeks—Justice, Modeselektor, Matthew Dear—Digitalism was by far the most fun. The show had a few things working against it—Monday night, lots of other...

They were GREAT at Coachella this past spring.
Digitalism is mad fab. Yay for Seattle showing 'em some love.

The Long Ranger and Beehive were pretty amazing and complemented the evening nicely.

I am from San Francisco and I have to say I am completely disappointed with the scene in Seattle. Very apathetic and negative. There is apparently no support for local bands- and rags like the stranger just bash rather than support- and its too bad. It just shows that the Stranger is a small town rag --

The Long Ranger had great stage presence- There music is light hearted and fun and you can dance to it. They were great and I would love to see them again for sure.

Beehive pretty much rocked the house. What's funny from your comments is that you bash a band without even seeing them. Typical and lazy reporting from the Stranger.

Eric you are an example of what a music critic should not be. How did you get the job at the Stranger anyway? If this is an example of you report-- how can you give an accurate review on something you have never seen.

I checked out The Long Ranger and Beehive on their myspace pages too and you really do not have a clue--

I bet the bands that you said should have opened for Digitalism are friends of yours anyway--

If you look at Beehive's myspace page they are making a living making music -- I bet that's something that every artist would dream about--

I doubt from your tone in this article -and your previous articles that you are very happy person-- I doubt that you are living your dream-- That's why you carry such a bad attitude.

The Long Ranger and Beehive are great Bands- Digitalism was Awesome-- It was a great night-- fully worth the 10 dollars -- and that's from someone who saw the whole evening!

I only wish that Digitalism played an encore-- and that more bills like this came through town more often.

Are you fucking kidding me? There's almost TOO MUCH support for local music in the Stranger. Read the damned paper before you start throwing around ill-informed generalizations.

The support in the stranger is only for local bands that are friends of the reporters. It is not objective, but rather a clique.

Amazing how you know who all the Stranger writers' friends are. Mad research skillz, bro.

I happened to be there for all of the bands and I felt all the bands rocked.

If anyone is reading this and wanted an opinion from someone that was there, I 'd definitely go and see Beehive. Dave's slide guitar tore it up.
