[edit] Dan Deacon

Dan Deacon is currently living and performing in Baltimore. Should there be something in here about him?

There's a whole lot missing considering how much is going on here at the moment. Beach House, Ponytail, Arbouretum, Oranges Band, Wzt Hearts, Dan Deacon, Death Set, Video Hippos, Ecstatic Sunshine, Celebration, Baltimore Club on the whole, Mullyman, Bossman.... I mean... there's already factual errors in this piece(Lungfish being formed in the late-90's?!?!?!, Fascist Fascist a scene mainstay!?!?!, Slot Racer? who? what?).

[edit] GA on hold

Ref #37 appears to be a dead link - is there another link that could replace it? Image:Sergiu Comissiona.jpg would appear to be decorative fair use and no rationale is given on the image page for its use in this article. There's some American terminology that could do with clarifying: for example "Baltimore's hardcore punk scene has been overshadowed by DC's" assumes that the reader knows you're talking about Washington DC. I also think it should be clarified earlier where and what Baltimore is, e.g. "The music of Baltimore, a US city" or something like that. naerii - talk 21:04, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

The link is fixed - they changed the url, but the article is still up. I've removed the Comissiona image, and I've clarified what Baltimore is in the lead. I've fixed the hardcore punk example you mention, and will give it a more thorough edit tomorrow. Tuf-Kat (talk) 05:44, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
