Court of the Ginger King: Shitty Venues

By on October 9th, 2008

As music fans, all of you have probably been to many concerts in your lives and many of you have been to shitty venues. What makes these venues shitty? Is it the people? The building? The rules the venue has? The promoters? What is it? I recently had the pleasure of visiting one of the [...]

Court of the Ginger King: An Overlook on Katy Perry

By on September 4th, 2008

I’m not sure how much of an argument there will be here. Hell, I haven’t even heard this Katy Perry song yet, but the world has, and I’m sure plenty of you CoS readers will have something to say. So, as usual, let ‘er rip and break the seams wide open here, folks. -Michael Roffman, [...]

Court of the Ginger King: In Defense of German Music

By on August 27th, 2008

This one sure had me wringing my own neck. It’s a little awkward at first, but I think we’ll get some believers this time.

Court of the Ginger King: The Ramones – Guilty of Over Importance

By on August 15th, 2008

Now granted, I actually sold back my greatest hits of The Ramones a few years ago, but I still respect the ol’ New Yorkers.

Court of the Ginger King: In Defense of Electronic Music

By on August 1st, 2008

Here we go again, CoS readers! Things got pretty interesting last week when good ol’ Michniak decided to call the King of Grunge a pussy. Well, this week seems to be a little tamer. He’s on the defensive side and if you know Russ, he loves his electronic music. How about we make this a [...]

Court of the Ginger King: Grunge – Guilty of Fraud

By on July 24th, 2008

Welcome back, CoS readers! We’re here with another pending argument from the Ginger King himself. If you recall last week, there was quite the debate between our readers and writer Russell Michniak over the validity of Southern rock. Things got a lil’ crazy, but no worries, we actually want that to happen! So, here we [...]

By on July 16th, 2008

Everyone likes to scream and shout, hell that’s what makes the internet so popular, right? In what will be a series of rants and arguments, Consequence of Sound is giving the proverbial floor to our writer Russell Michniak in a new column entitled, “Court of the Ginger King.” Suck up and agree or seethe venomously [...]
