Blog Roundup 2008
2008 was a fairly uneventful year here at nocategories.net. The site doesn’t get as many visitors as it used to, and so I don’t post very often, and because I don’t post often, fewer visitors come… and so it goes. All hope is not lost, though. Here’s a roundup of 2008’s most popular entries on this site. Other people liked this stuff. Maybe you’ll like it too.

Portraits, Past and Present
There is an art exhibition in Baltimore that spans two museums.
At the Contemporary Museum, the show is Dawoud Bey: Class Pictures, a collection of color photo portraits. At the Walters Museum, the other part of the show is called Portraits Re/Examined. Both exhibitions run from December 13, 2008 until February 16, 2009. -

Baltimore’s Round Robin Tour
For months now, all the talk in my neighborhood has been about the Round Robin Tour. Something like a dozen Baltimore bands have been on tour together. What’s special about it is the format of the show. The show starts, and one band plays one song. Immediately after that, another band plays another song, and so on until all the bands have played a song. Then, they do it again, and again. It’s great! For anyone who gets sick of listening to sound checks between each and every band, this is a dream come true. It’s a wonderful idea, and Baltimore is very proud to have these bands draw huge crowds nationwide – no kidding, huge crowds! The show’s almost over, but there’s one performance left, and you can download the compilation from the tour!

Stephen C. Pepper’s “Theory of Empirical Criticism” goes something like this. Good criticism, even art criticism, is akin [...]
