    UPDATE: The Theater Fire's Matter and Light NOT available at shows in July

    My question was in reference to the purpose of the "update". I don't see the answer in your response. And please understand, despite the response below, this is in no way directed at Erin, but at this site as a whole. Really? You put "news" in the title?

    As a staff member, of course I expect you to defend the site's misinformation. My point is: this site seems to report bits and pieces of information you happen upon, and then blame the bands? That's not something I've seen before, so I hope you pardon my confusion.

    Funny how you could report that the record is not available at non-existent July shows, but you missed the tour being postponed. By the way, the band is from Fort Worth (you can get that information from their website and MySpace page as well); local shows (like the ones this weekend in Dallas and Denton) aren't typically referred to as "tour dates" in response to your "is it fall yet" question. Touring is typically when a band plays more than one show in a row, or perhaps a block of shows, outside of the metroplex; hence the distinction between local and touring acts. If you need help with any more of these terms, please feel free to e-mail me.

    Your comment "although that doesn't mean that July listings never existed" can be easily verified. Guess how? The same way any other site that wanted to know would find out. (Again, you can e-mail me if you need help with this one). Furthermore, if the record has not been released, and I'm assuming you did not receive a copy, how can you post what label it is on? Because the previous record was on Undeniable you assumed that the next one will be. Isn't that just a bit lazy? Especially when there's that reliable old "contact" button available on most websites. Oh, and I'm sure there's some way on MySpace to contact them. Let me just think about it for a minute.

    I can't figure out the purpose of this site. For my part, I didn't realize this site simply reprinted information gleaned periodically from other sites. I was under the impression there was some original content here.

    This one's free: Lee Harvey's is a bar in Dallas. Google it; you seem to know how. See you tonight.

    UPDATE: The Theater Fire's Matter and Light NOT available at shows in July

    I don't normally leave comments on websites; who really cares? But I'm wondering about the point of the above "Update." To make sure people didn't think they could get their hands on a copy of the new record at July shows? There weren't any July shows. That was on the band's website as well. Posted on July 8 "The boys have decided to postpone their summer tour until fall"; that was a mere five days after the above "update." I noticed a while back you also jumped the gun on declaring this Friday's show the band's CD release show. And the new record is not on Undeniable. Where do you get your information? I bet if you e-mailed someone in the band, you wouldn't need a fact checker (that's something credible journalists typically use). But what prompted this comment is your attempt to blame your bad information on the band. I don't really think you need their help. You're doing just fine on your own.
