I've made thousands off those idiots
Cathryn Beeks now says she will respond to my "sticks and stones"....but doesn't want to do it right now. On what planet is she on? I never mentioned her in the article. There were no sticks and stones or words or anything else. She never had anything to do with this discussion. But she ingratiated herself into all this based on her comments in the comments section apparently because she wants the accompanying publicity. YET SHE IS NOT EVEN INVOLVED. She called a singer/songwriter and myself "GIANT DOUCHE" for what reasons I still don't get. If Pat Hilton wants to vent about Gigtown, IT IS NOT YOUR CONCERN CATHRYN BEEKS. It is not your role to defend Andrew Altman. I asked around about this and was told she apparently wants to orchestrate some big drama scene so she can position herself as the savior of local music while I am why "San Diego's music community can't have nice things" just to promote her own projects. Only one problem. As anyone can see, the article had nothing to do with Ms. Beeks. This reminds me of when talk show host Morton Downey Jr. claimed skinheads held him down in an airport bathroom and drew a swastikas on his head when in fact Downey did it himself (He did it backwards in the mirror). Ooops. Busted.

I've made thousands off those idiots
Have not heard from Cathryn Beeks. Interesting....She will call people names on the Internet but she won't discuss why she did it one-to-one. Don't know what to make of this but it seems Cathryn Beeks may have some issues. The article is 100 percent accurate, balanced, and obviously said something that needed to be said based on how it motivates mud throwers to do their thing. Ms. Beeks must be really frustrated over something. Interested to know what that may be.

Um...just heard that Cathryn Beeks has been going ape, calling people including me a giant douche. Well I'll be dadgum! It's true. Not sure exactly what makes you tick Cathryn. But I think it would be a good idea if you explained what this all about. Don't think anything I wrote in the article is untrue. In fact I know so. Not sure if you think there are any demons chasing you or you think there is someone out to get you, but I do think you have some 'splaining to do. I stand by everything I wrote and can not be responsible if Internet trolls like yourself make comments that you don't like. I stand by my article. But I can not be responsible for any one else. Frankly I don't even see why you got involved. You were not even mentioned in the article. You felt the need to get involved when you called Pat Hilton a giant douche, and now you are mad at me. What did I do? Sounds kinda creepy Cathryn. Get back to me by email if you don't mind. Or don't. You are apparently trying to make a name for yourself as the champion of San Diego music by calling people names. Which of course is your right. Quality stuff Cathryn Beeks!

It's about the...baseball?
I think what chendri887 is trying to say is that 94.9 plays way too many twenty year old Red Hot Chili Peppers cuts.

Cue the blues: R.I.P. Candye Kane
Candye was a huge part of the Belly Up family in the 80s and 90s. Godspeed to Tom and Evan and Tommy. She was bigger than life in so many ways. She gave everyone so much to write about. I am sure we will hear from Sue Palmer soon about a celebration show.

The Shadows of Nasty City
RE: Jack Smith's comment that Donald Trump is punk rock.....Not sure about that. It's true he does have a horizontal mohawk. And he is rude. But his look -- yellow hair, white eyes and orange face -- reminds me more of Insane Clown Posse. And his lack of class and overall value to America seems more akin to Limp Bizkit.

If you like Bernie, you'll want Caballero
Maryann- Just so you know all "those people" on stage were not paid. The five bands donated their time. "Those people" who attended are people with jobs and money and who paid the $10 admission. Do you understand any of this?

Newspaperless Oceanside
Also Mr. Snark - I don't think anybody blames the UT for leaving. The landlord is looking for $17K- a month in rent. If the UT is paying anywhere near that, that's a big unnecessary expense. The UT is already committed to the space in San Marcos from a previous long term lease. They have to pay that rent anyway. So why not move their offices. Besides, reporters don't need swanky offices with a golf course view to do their work. They don't often have people over to interview. Reporters do most of their work in the field or on the phone. It might have been good for morale but at $17K- a month? I would bet that this gorgeous office lease was a function of a Manchester/Issa circle jerk. I would, however, suggest that the UT get a small editorial satellite office in either Carlsbad or Oceanside. It seems like it would show the North Coast they care.
— February 5, 2016 10:45 a.m.
Newspaperless Oceanside
Mr. Snark - Speaking only for myself, I do not have anything against the UT. I was born in Oceanside and it seemed to me that being without a newspaper office for the first time in 100 years is noteworthy. Nobody is dancing on anyones grave. There are many good, quality people who work there.

I've made thousands off those idiots
Cathryn Beeks now says she will respond to my "sticks and stones"....but doesn't want to do it right now. On what planet is she on? I never mentioned her in the article. There were no sticks and stones or words or anything else. She never had anything to do with this discussion. But she ingratiated herself into all this based on her comments in the comments section apparently because she wants the accompanying publicity. YET SHE IS NOT EVEN INVOLVED. She called a singer/songwriter and myself "GIANT DOUCHE" for what reasons I still don't get. If Pat Hilton wants to vent about Gigtown, IT IS NOT YOUR CONCERN CATHRYN BEEKS. It is not your role to defend Andrew Altman. I asked around about this and was told she apparently wants to orchestrate some big drama scene so she can position herself as the savior of local music while I am why "San Diego's music community can't have nice things" just to promote her own projects. Only one problem. As anyone can see, the article had nothing to do with Ms. Beeks. This reminds me of when talk show host Morton Downey Jr. claimed skinheads held him down in an airport bathroom and drew a swastikas on his head when in fact Downey did it himself (He did it backwards in the mirror). Ooops. Busted.— June 8, 2016 6:45 p.m.

Have not heard from Cathryn Beeks. Interesting....She will call people names on the Internet but she won't discuss why she did it one-to-one. Don't know what to make of this but it seems Cathryn Beeks may have some issues. The article is 100 percent accurate, balanced, and obviously said something that needed to be said based on how it motivates mud throwers to do their thing. Ms. Beeks must be really frustrated over something. Interested to know what that may be.— June 8, 2016 9:11 a.m.

Um...just heard that Cathryn Beeks has been going ape, calling people including me a giant douche. Well I'll be dadgum! It's true. Not sure exactly what makes you tick Cathryn. But I think it would be a good idea if you explained what this all about. Don't think anything I wrote in the article is untrue. In fact I know so. Not sure if you think there are any demons chasing you or you think there is someone out to get you, but I do think you have some 'splaining to do. I stand by everything I wrote and can not be responsible if Internet trolls like yourself make comments that you don't like. I stand by my article. But I can not be responsible for any one else. Frankly I don't even see why you got involved. You were not even mentioned in the article. You felt the need to get involved when you called Pat Hilton a giant douche, and now you are mad at me. What did I do? Sounds kinda creepy Cathryn. Get back to me by email if you don't mind. Or don't. You are apparently trying to make a name for yourself as the champion of San Diego music by calling people names. Which of course is your right. Quality stuff Cathryn Beeks!— June 7, 2016 8:49 p.m.
It's about the...baseball?
I think what chendri887 is trying to say is that 94.9 plays way too many twenty year old Red Hot Chili Peppers cuts.— May 7, 2016 8:06 p.m.
Cue the blues: R.I.P. Candye Kane
Candye was a huge part of the Belly Up family in the 80s and 90s. Godspeed to Tom and Evan and Tommy. She was bigger than life in so many ways. She gave everyone so much to write about. I am sure we will hear from Sue Palmer soon about a celebration show.— May 7, 2016 4:41 p.m.
The Shadows of Nasty City
RE: Jack Smith's comment that Donald Trump is punk rock.....Not sure about that. It's true he does have a horizontal mohawk. And he is rude. But his look -- yellow hair, white eyes and orange face -- reminds me more of Insane Clown Posse. And his lack of class and overall value to America seems more akin to Limp Bizkit.— May 5, 2016 11:46 a.m.

If you like Bernie, you'll want Caballero
Maryann- Just so you know all "those people" on stage were not paid. The five bands donated their time. "Those people" who attended are people with jobs and money and who paid the $10 admission. Do you understand any of this?— February 16, 2016 6:14 p.m.
Newspaperless Oceanside
Also Mr. Snark - I don't think anybody blames the UT for leaving. The landlord is looking for $17K- a month in rent. If the UT is paying anywhere near that, that's a big unnecessary expense. The UT is already committed to the space in San Marcos from a previous long term lease. They have to pay that rent anyway. So why not move their offices. Besides, reporters don't need swanky offices with a golf course view to do their work. They don't often have people over to interview. Reporters do most of their work in the field or on the phone. It might have been good for morale but at $17K- a month? I would bet that this gorgeous office lease was a function of a Manchester/Issa circle jerk. I would, however, suggest that the UT get a small editorial satellite office in either Carlsbad or Oceanside. It seems like it would show the North Coast they care.— February 5, 2016 10:45 a.m.
Newspaperless Oceanside
Mr. Snark - Speaking only for myself, I do not have anything against the UT. I was born in Oceanside and it seemed to me that being without a newspaper office for the first time in 100 years is noteworthy. Nobody is dancing on anyones grave. There are many good, quality people who work there.— February 4, 2016 9:28 p.m.
