Washington DC: The City of Love

For the amount of shit people like to talk about the politicians in Washington, DC, the citizenry that actually live here are pretty damn cool and make up what probably amounts to the most progressive city on the East Coast (yeah, that's' right New York). Aside from the fact that a Republican doesn't stand a chance of getting elected dog catcher of this city and that we just passed a law legalizing medical marijuana, the biggest news is that gay marriage is coming to the capital! A stirring scene took place at the court house yesterday as hundreds of couples showed up to file for their marriage licenses and as of next Tuesday, DC residents can marry their same-sex spouse. So go ahead, keep calling us the Hollywood for ugly people, we're much too busy fighting for human rights (even for ugly people) and being awesome, to listen.

And here, one of my favorite songs about popping the question.

Working Hard For The Money (except for the money part)

Hello Friends. Like NPR and PBS before us, AOoN would like to interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to ask for your help. Don't worry, we don't need money (yet)! We're asking once again that all of our readers set your facebook status to advertise the blog and encourage others to 'friend' us. Also, if you are a tweeter, uh, twitterererer - whatever it's called, you can follow us and tell your friends to follow us by going here.

Why you ask? Well, because we want to provide you with the best music news, reviews, lists and opinions that we can and the more people who follow the better chance we have at gaining advertisers. In the coming months we intend to keep expanding and even start giving away and selling some sweet merch, like t-shirts, stickers, etc. We want to have the means to see more live shows, interview big stars and actually pay our growing team of amazing writers.

Thank you all for your wonderful support and please, please, please spread the word!
