Slog - Comments on I Don't Heart The Stranger http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/08/i_dont_heart_the_str The bad news: I Heart Seattle has some complaints about us. The good news: At least he/she thinks Christopher Frizzelle is a "hottie."...

Surely there's more interesting slogging material out there than Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton. If you can't find any, you're fired.

Also for the record, apparently they still enjoy us enough to swipe photos that were originally published on Line Out.

We just can't win. Far from swiping stuff without giving credit, I received a lengthy, bitchy e-mail recently, accusing me of linking and crediting David Postman's blog way too much. The guy told me I was kissing Postman's ass.
Sigh.

Yes, you can point to silly and retarded articles, but they are welcome as well. The volume is very high, after all, so there's something for everyone. The variety of viewpoints far outstrips any of the other blogs in town. And possibly even more than the paper, the writing style is uniformly excellent: fresh, crisp, lively, very readable. 100% perfect? No. What is? It is, after all, a blog, and not an Official Compendium of Eternal Truth.

I Heart Seattle? Not so much. And white text on black? No thanks.

You have to admit, trying to dress down The Stranger for covering entertainment is pretty surly.

But I will say, putting things up your nose is very cosmopolitan, so at least you've got that going for you.

The only thing I read the Rocket for was music shows and music news.

I like the Rocket then.

i remember the rocket from when i was younger- i agree with them in that it forced the other papers to try to scoop each other and be the best.

its important to have a two papers. the weekly doestn matter.

That's what I love about it. The (mostly) unedited thoughts of people I (probablay would, if I really knew them,) respect. And Slog posts and Stranger articles are Fair and Balanced (TM) in the same way that Fox News is, but unlike any other Fair and Balanced (TM) news outlet I've come across, I usually agree with them. And sometimes laugh. But, because of that property, not everyone will like it. That's okay. For thorough coverage of world events, I go to that certain most respected newspaper in the country. Okay, I'll just come out and say it: I totally have a crush on The Stranger. As a whole. Move over, Fnarf, let me have some analingual time. It seems like IHS might prefer the editorial style of the dailies, though, for which I don't think anything less of her/him/it. And I present evidence of an acute sense of humor:
"I HEART SEATTLE
Because no one else does. Yet."
"I admit I put things up my nose..."
I don't like undeservedly derogatory comments. And I maintain that everyone has a sense of humor. A unique one.

Sure it went downhill in its last days, but it served a great purpose when it was in its prime. I think it's ridiculous that there isn't anything like it around today, in a city as music-centric as Seattle. And Seattle Sound, as it has repeatedly proven, doesn't count.

At least the Rocket was thin and any ads it had were for useful things, like Looking for band members or singers, or someone selling his drum set.

"Sammy Maudlin" tone to it sometimes.
But I like that. I picture Erica Barnett doing the Joey Heatherton
"I wanna have your baby" scream to complete the picture.
As for IHS... by what criteria would that pass as an (ahem) "intellectual" blog.

I think she forgets that, as a side blog to the actual paper, that the format of Slog is meant to be much less formal. Some take their blogs more seriously... as that's their only editorial outlet. The Stranger's serious editorial outlet is The Stranger.
