Just in time for the run-up to Ladyfest, the VD is pleased to bring you its newest poll: Who is Queen of the Dayton scene. While we were disappointed with the slow trickle of nominees, we think you will find someone vote-worthy on the list we have assembled.Jenny Mac - Everyone knows her and why she's up here.
Noelle - Matron saint of State School and perhaps the most perceptive VD reader.
Sarah Stephens - This socialite of scene royalty just keeps on trucking. Anywhere you see her you can be sure her jester sidekick isn't far behind.
Ganelle - A punk princess that's capable of making you piss your pants. We mean this in a bad way.
Katie Anible - Not sure why her name was submitted, unless the unconfirmed reports that she's a cannibal are true.
Shae - High Lordess of inebriation, she will make you question your masculinity, even as you maintain a constant erection, when she drinks you under the table.
Mary Kathryn - No scene Queen poll would be complete without the ever-promoting cocktail Countess, Mary Kathryn.
Heather Redman - VD knows little of this Duchess of disc jockeys except that she knows more about the scene's history and aristocracy than all four of our writers.
So, there they are. Are we missing some key nominees? Sure. But that's why you can vote for other. Take a moment to indicate which lady is the reason the scene boys still get out of bed. Or for some why they stay in bed. Ha!
I dunno man, maybe it is the writing style... something about this blog just doesn't sit right with me. No one will openly admit to being the one writing it, but I'm certain I know too many people to not have met the writer. I realize this is attempting to be funny, but does no one else notice a distinct feel of Frat Boy in the writing? It feels like someone took all knowledge of local music, inserted it into the head of one of the guys who would beat me up in high school and asked them to write about it all. I'm fairly certain none of my friends are that big of bastards, so why do I get that feeling reading this? Whoever is writing, take a second, step back, and really read your shit. It isn't just that you're bothersome to the thin skinned, you sound like a woman hatin', queer bashin', W. votin', red blooded republican. Think about that for a second.
ReplyDeleteAgree with above comment, but actually, I thought this one was pretty restrained compared to others.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the writing for vishnu den's been getting progressively worse. Tighten your writing, losers!
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Jeremy's comment. Because I'm Jeremy and I like to anonymously agree with myself.
ReplyDeleteAnonymously agreeing with yourself sound like a form of masturbation that would border on date-rape.
ReplyDeleteI'm waaaay too boring to be up here.
ReplyDelete-Noelle
do you mean Sarah Stephens?

ReplyDeleteum. i am confused. who runs this page?? who would even nominate me for something like that??
ReplyDeleteOh man.
ReplyDeleteIf you want I can go through and cite everything, but you don't really want that. If I wasn't so opposed to the law I'd be a lawyer. Also, I don't really feel like doing that much work to prove a point to an anonymous poster. Feels too much like talking to myself, or some furtive ghost.
If this is going to end like the movie Carrie, I am so down!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a huge crush on noelle but I'm pretty sure she doesn't know I exist and if she does she would never talk to me. Also, Sarah stephens is gorgeous. I'm girl crazy.
ReplyDeleteSo lame.

ReplyDeletequeen of the dayton scene aka all the women who will never sleep with me.
ReplyDeletewomp, womp. :(
The site is really desperate for an editor, but... all publicity is good publicity, especially when it's a small town, like Dayton.
ReplyDeleteThis vote is confusing because it's not like the hipster, the band, and the self righteous poll. I can't tell if it's a negative vote or a positive one.
ReplyDeleteDon't tell me VD is trying to boost someone's self esteem instead of tearing people down?!
i'm cool.

ReplyDeletei'm suprised nobody said jen breman
ReplyDeletethat's what i thought! she thinks she rules the school!
ReplyDeleteWHAT?!? Who would I never talk to?!? That's silly.
ReplyDeleteI am honored to be crushed upon.
And a little drunk.
-Noelle
Does Noelle work at the coffee shop? if so, she won't talk to a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteI have the biggest crush of all on Noelle. She's way out of my league though. I get so nervous every time I see her I feel like a teenager.
ReplyDeleteSomeday I'll be drunk enough to tell her when I deem she's drunk enough to not remember afterwards (but not so drunk that she laughs in my face).
I vote for Keith Kawaii
ReplyDeleteThere are things in these comments that make me wanna laugh and cry at the same time.
ReplyDelete"Normal Person + Audience + Anonymity = Fuckwad"
Hey Kyle has a two inch cock! Anyone who declares "we are all artists" is obviously insecure about his own cock. And you have to brag about living in trendy Williamsburg. There's lots of great music in Dayton. Williamsburg was rad before all you spoiled brats moved and raised all the rent. Dave Sardy had a killer studio there until mommy gentrified the hood and turned into coffee land. Do you cuff your pants and go to the Gutter? I bet you do. Do you have cleverly manicured facial I bet you do. I pulled your card.
ReplyDeleteid say we could add jen breman to a list of 'wanna be community leaders that have a fuckload of intentions and then see something shiny and forgets about it'
ReplyDeletethat jen b. comment is right on! haha.
ReplyDeleteZOMG NOELLE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAWT, ERRYTIME I C HUR ITZ LYKE I TAKE A DBL SHOT OF ESPRESSO TO MAH HEART!!!11one1
ReplyDeletea. that jen b. comment really IS spot on!
ReplyDeleteb. as a woman, this list is unimpressive. you either dont know half of them, or they deem no radiating qualities that sets them above the rest. isnt the point of the poll to all hail someone who is desired and attractive on ALL levels? typical thoughts coming from testicle owners. the ladies on this list that i DO know of are either quite pleasant or anything but. you are opening pandoras box by putting a number on these ladies heads (or asses for that matter). its one thing to have a pissing contest (the pathetic excuse of a poll for "the king of dayton"), but lets keep the writing on the bathroom wall in its rightful place. the bathroom wall.
c. to the anonymous who has an unhealthy obsession over noelle ( a lovely lady indeed) - nobody is out of anyone's "league", but when you set someone atop an insurmountable pedastle, you are only creating impossibilities for yourself. have some respect for yourself. she is a real person just like everyone else. the nerves are understandable for anyone in your current state of emoting, but just please...no pedastals. pedastals are vomitous.
d. i agree with erika's comment. period. karma DOES have a strong pimp hand. and just for writing this absurdity, you will probably all continue to be single and lonely and yankin the wank for many more days to cum.
e. my vagina is way more interesting than this tool built blog.
how about we attempt to write about something really worth debating over?
-jess
why is anyone taking this shit seriously
ReplyDeleteJess,
ReplyDeleteWould you like to marry me, or go on a date, or for a lot of drinks?
i don't know who any of those people are by name. i can't vote. i'm alright with that.
ReplyDeleteto Anon-
ReplyDeleteyes lets! lets go against the grain of tradition and shake this town up! we shall get married first then go for lots of drinks THEN maybe i will go on a date. maybe.
-Jess
my puzzy iz da bomb yo
ReplyDeletelike cocaine through the hourglass... so are the day(ton)s of our lives... *music swells*
ReplyDeletei think my problem is with the abstract IDEA of Hipsters not individual people. anyway this shit be funny.
ReplyDeleteHeather throws kick ass parties, that's all I know oh and she's been in like 4 bands and DJ's at L80's night. yeah she pretty much rocks
ReplyDeleteOh wait... Sarah Stephens is not gorgeous. I had her mixed up with Mollie Montgomery. She's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteUhhhh, Mollie is toootaly hot

ReplyDeleteblog egg response people! egg the "art feggs"!

ReplyDeleteWhat about Denise or Victoria???? They will do it with just about anyone.
ReplyDeleteUmm... Perhaps a little comment moderation is in order?
ReplyDeleteandy rowe is awesome. i agree with him. when did it turn into this kind of party???
ReplyDeleteI AGREE. THIS SITE IS DEPRAVED. OMG!
ReplyDeletehey andy we sure did a great job writing this blog wink wink.
ReplyDeleteStep right up! Beat the horse, win a prize!
ReplyDeleteTalk about unintended consequences with the poll, holy shit!
Why are people getting upset? The entire point of this blog is to mock the pretentious absurd scene kids in this town and their crappy bands. If it is offensive, don't participate. Dicks.
ReplyDeleteum. if this poll is supposed to mock the pretentious absurd scene girls....then i REALLY don't understand why heather and i are on this poll!! i don't know any of these other girls, but we are both nice funny girls that don't really do shit to anyone...
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeletethis site is really crude.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteGood job VD. Stir the misery around. You created a forum for people to hate on each other.
ReplyDeleteWhat do these girls contribute other than temporary bliss?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing posted in these comments/blogs that we all don't sit around and joke about when we're drunk. If you say you haven't then you're lying! If you are on a "list" on this site or are offended by it, then you have attained the notariaty that you have been striving for. Good Job Fuckers!
ReplyDeleteum... it's just dayton, people. relax.
ReplyDeletethese big vagina ladies are getting away with murder, something should be done.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcJoTREXxwU
there is a HUGE difference between sitting around talking smack about people when drinking and posting blatant asshole remarks in sobriety all over the internet. the difference is you are probably drinking with like-minded folks who willingly accept your asshole comments. you can NOT acknowledge that difference!
ReplyDeleteso keep it up, the only action any of you shitted-headed douchebags will be getting from this point forward will be from the interior of your palms! cuz after knowing and reading all of these rude ass comments, no girl in dayton would be dumb enough to make such a horrible mistake as to even be associated with you all. hot or not. think about THAT the next time you are trying to "take home a piece".
Riiiiight. Because girls never do THAT.
ReplyDeleteI heard the VD writers will be having a meet and greet at l'80's night at therapy tonight! God I cant wait!
ReplyDeleteNo, there really is no difference where you talk about people in Dayton, it still gets right back to them somehow anyways. Only worse, it gets twisted in the process. Here you get to read it straight from said people. Plus, do you really think a drunk girl is going to rethink her decision to go home with someone she digs because he may or may not have posted an anonymous comment on this page?!? Hmmmmmm, doubt it! No, dumb girls will remain dumb and asshole guys will remain assholes.
ReplyDeletei sho wish we could go froggin in that thur swamping pool. too bad her murky puss gets all bloated with parasites and thens i can't do no stickins.
ReplyDeleteI was havin' some decent slops at the writer of the Vishnu Den's house, then I got bit all up by bedbugs and fleas. I took my flea pecker home and maw said I had to sleep in the yard, again. It's not worth the veggie dog I tell ya. I am going to get a dictionary and look up the word pecker. I wish I had a doggie bag a that slops.
ReplyDeletetime for some butt sex
ReplyDeleteIf everyone is hatin' so much on this website, then why don't you delete it???? Why, cuz you don't wanna be "outta the loop"???? Everybody needs to stop being so sensitive and just laugh, dammit. If you can't laugh at it then you take yourself way too seriously and you need a hobby.
ReplyDeleteSo what's up with all the misogyny, anyway? Are you all really going to sink that low?
ReplyDelete-Noelle
I like "downtown library bum" the best.
ReplyDeletei like how nobody really had any problems until you made the poll about women.
ReplyDeleteall the ladies who say they're 'feminist' or whatever crawled out of every damp corner just to complain to someone they don't know about hatin' on hipster girls. nobody said anything about the dudes poll (heh). whatevs, if you know that you're worth more than what a blog says about you than just ignore it. it definatly shouldn't change your opinion of yourself. I'm very much so enjoying it.
-lindsey
right on lindsey!
ReplyDeletepost # 1 from a "feminist or whatever" that hadn't commented yet--
ReplyDeletethere are some differences in the polls that definitely lean towards misogyny or at least blatant sexism, and i think that was more what the comments were about than the actual snarky hating-- to be fair, snarky hating is directed pretty equally to everyone on here.
the first poll was posed as "Who is the #1 Dayton Hipster?" and then in the description they referred to said person as The King of Dayton Hipsters, by default deciding the number one is male. then the men were referred to on their own merits or lack thereof in the scene, but most make music, throw shows, dj, or do something else that is productive/creative in the scene.
the queen poll, however, perpetuates the idea of woman as object and man as subject, best illustrated by the lines "Take a moment to indicate which lady is the reason the scene boys still get out of bed. Or for some why they stay in bed. Ha!"
and then the comments mostly seemed to do with ladies' attractiveness or sexuality, and often further reinforce the double standards about male and female sexuality.
i'm aware this is all to be in good humor, and this seems all too serious a response, but there is humor and there is humor as a mask for hate, as in i may like jokes but i certainly hate racist jokes, and misogyny is just as real a hatred as racism, and both perpetuate violence and dehumanization of a particular group of people based upon criteria they had no choice in.
some other responses--
"The entire point of this blog is to mock the pretentious absurd scene kids in this town and their crappy bands."
i agree with erika's comment about that not being what's happening here, and also want to address some of the other parts of this--
most people perceived as "pretentious" or as someone who would never talk to you, well, you are probably just feeling insecure and projecting. most people that someone calls "too cool" get just as shy, awkward, or nervous as anyone else, have bad days, and probably don't talk to strangers much. how many strangers do you randomly talk to? try actually having a conversation with them, and you'll discover the girl you thought was some mystery art enigma is just shy, or that guy you think always looks bored and too cool is actually pretty insecure, or is always tired at night shows because he gets up early, and so on.
i agree with jess from above's points b,c,d, and even e. probably every vagina is more interesting than this.
to the person who posted as me and commented about my girlparts, thank you i suppose. if nothing else, you made some of my friends amused with the idea that i could ever type "is" as "iz" or use the phrase "da bomb".
and for the poster of the jen b comment, and the agree-ers, whatever. but how bout after you write about people sucking at doing things in the community, you go plan some shows, or start something you think is awesome. there's always room for more awesome and for more people to make it happen. in fact, there's always a need for more people to organize shows, start projects, open venues, and so on, because doing it takes a lot of time, money, and often pretty intense frustration, and so new people need to step up for those that get burned out, pissed off, or exhausted, or apparently distracted by the shininess of things.
if you want to argue with people who write about dayton sucking, or you want to write about how someone's music is awful, sure, do that. everyone needs a lil cattiness now and then, and to vent, and probably more critique should happen. but how bout afterwards you start a band that you think is great, or make something happen that doesn't suck in your opinion.

ReplyDeletehey jenn, thank you for writing something positive. you are awesome.
ReplyDeleteIf all of you put your effort into healthcare, water utilities, power utilities, or produce, THEN you would actually be contributing something to society.
ReplyDeleteThe music scene doesn't benifit society like several of you hype it up to be.
All I see is a bunch of money shuffling around.
You booked a show? Congratualtions, I took an order at McDonalds, they donate to charity too.
This is the problem with the scene. Everyone can say "Let's make a difference." But you don't. You really don't. You give people temporary emotional bliss and that's it.
Sorry, but none of these girls have brought any bands to town that I give a shit about. They just do it to get "scene points". And yes, some of them can play instruments, but that's not what the pole is about, obviously. Basically every girl up there is just a hedonist and why be mad about that? If that's what they wanna be then let them do it. By the way, when is this dumb shit gonna be over with???
ReplyDeleteIt is spelled "POLL"
ReplyDeleteThank you for correcting my spelling, but that "error" was intented.
ReplyDeleteGirls think if they can play a power cord and they are cute then they rock. Dumb!
ReplyDeletei guess "cord" instead of "chord" is on purpose too, eh?
ReplyDeleteYup!
ReplyDeleteSomebody must have won the spelling bee when they were little......how cute!
ReplyDeleteTit's rule!
ReplyDeleteThat comment about music not making a difference in this life is total bullshit. I would not function as a human with out it. Granted that most of the music I listen to isn't local, its existence and creation are still more important to me than healthcare, politics or any utility work.
ReplyDeleteHumans are the plague of the Earth. Until they are gone, the world will be in turmoil. But in the meantime I will be soothing my head with music.
well hasn't this one turned out to be a giant tidal wave of poop?
ReplyDeleteeveryone has their hand-made panties in a tangle over something that doesn't affect anyones life.
there has been two, count em, TWO shows in the dayton area in the past five years that i was actually impressed with. nobody is ever going to change for the better in dayton because everyone just sits around and jerks each other off. "oh it was incredible, and ive never been more moved in my life." if we actually say how we feel and give them some criticism to work with, maybe they will improve. but since nobody has the balls to say it to anyones face, we do it in these little comment boxes that are so easy to hide behind.
I have never claimed to be a great guitar player but I've been doing my best for 10 years now, thanks for saying I'm cute though. oh and I'll sing anyone of you guys under the table. you, me, sing off, do it. go Dayton!
ReplyDeleteI love you Sarah
oh and um, for those who have a hard time detecting sarcasm, I hope you find some in the last comment....
ReplyDeleteI love champagne
POLL CLOSED. everyone gets everyone else's point. blah blah blah. can we shut a whole bunch of blabbering traps and put this damn blog to rest? let's move on to other topics. did you all know that we had a meteor shower last week? it was pretty cool! i dont give a shit about any popularity contests and "who's who". i do what i do. i like what i like. i thought this blog site was gonna be something interesting and refreshing, but staying true to "the scene".... it's the same old shit and is losing interest quickly.
ReplyDeleteFAIL.
This pole is weak. Mainly directed around people you know, who all apparently suck almost as this blog. If you're going to wage a war on Dayton, do it to the entire 75 people in the population, not just the rejects you are friends with.
ReplyDelete"Music's existence and creation are still more important to me than healthcare, politics or any utility work. Humans are a plague on earth."
ReplyDeleteThis is the foolishness I'm talking about. You think humans are a plague, yet you don't mind living it up listening to music. Because hey, it's more important than anything in the world!
More important than the utilities that provide the power for you to type that very sentance, and listen to anything that requires a socket.
Go backs to skoowlz and get moar logic plz.
"in your face", your two cents are worthless
ReplyDeleteI really, really wanna bang JennyMac. I dream about her everynight. I am afraid to have sex with her though, because I don't wanna catch anything posssibly. Can someone give me advice?
ReplyDelete
