This series of blogs is dedicated to Ol’Swerdlow… considering it’s practically his idea entirely.

The capital… every state has one. It’s a widely agreed upon fact that every state capital has far more than it’s fair share of douchebags. Of course, by “widely agreed upon” I mean that someone mentioned it to me once, and I liked how it sounded… but that’s beside the point.

My hypothesis is based on the relative ‘medium’ size of your average state capital. They’re big enough to support a scene… but not big enough to choke the market off to underwhelming ‘artists’. HAY MY FRENDZ IN A BNADism and higher than nominal amounts of grab-assery fuels the wrong fire in places like this. Eventually, it smothers the odds of finding any vestige of talent in a capital city. If bad bands are thriving, only more will follow. Thus, the cycle perpetuates itself, and no one is safe.

My pet project for the next few months is going to be methodically finding which capital-lurking band gets the brown ribbon for their respective state. If you want to chime in, or dime out a band… feel free to. Every blog’s comment thread is an open forum.
