Music writers suck. We all know it. They are squirrely little rats that run around at shows spreading a plague of uncool in their wake. Well, thanks to this picture from Indie Houston's new Flickr page (

the uncool.
(a) Zone of Uncool: Item (a) shows the area outside this zone. Much like a radioactive matter, writers are anathema to anything cool and therefore are bounded by an area of a few feet that protects other concert goers.
(b) Slouching and poor posture: either the result of time spent in front of a computer or mastering ducking dodgeballs.
(c) Sunburned: from goofing the day in Galveston instead of working on that PLF piece that Omar is expecting for the next issue.
(d) Girly Satchel: Likely filled with novels, CDs, a composition book, a crappy broken point-and-shoot, a flash drive, pens...well you get the idea - basically not worth mugging.
(e) Poor Fashion Sense: Ill fitting and worn out clothes are a staple of music writers. Ironically they also watch Project Runway and What Not To Wear.
Remember, if you spot one of these, don't panic. Simply ignore them as engaging them in any manner will result in endless pratter about the Wild Moccasins, Buxton, Hearts of Animals, Papermoons, or the awesomeness of Ronnie James Dio.
