I won a contest!
Many, many thanks to good folk at bluestate for brightening my day – things have been especially crap here in DC with the inauguration and frigid weather and all!

Here’s what the Washington Post has to say about local blogger/dj collective bluestate:

"And now for something completely different. You never know how music critics will do as DJs -- just because you can write about new music and are exposed to a lot of new tunes doesn't mean you know how to move a crowd. That's why it'll be interesting to check out tonight's Bluestate night on the Black Cat's backstage, which features four music-loving bloggers on the decks. (Get more info and links on the quartet's blog, www.bluestatedc.com, but expect to hear lots of danceable rock, a la Q and Not U, the Futureheads, Franz Ferdinand and Belle and Sebastian.) Everything starts at 9:30 and admission is free. (If you get bored, you can always head upstairs to Mousetrap, the monthly Britpop DJ night that Mark Zimin has run for more than five years.)"

Looking forward to the New Sense and Superaquello releases will give them shout-outs here after a listen. Sorry I missed the bluestate event earlier this month and I’ll make it a point to plug/attend the next one. Keep up the vital work!
Thanks again, bluestate!
