Too bad for her. The more limited a scope you view art through, the more stuff you're liable to immediately dismiss merely for aesthetic reasons. Sure Old Hat are loud and dumb; they revel in it. But loud and dumb can serve as valid self-expression too, if you just let go of your predilections long enough to meet it halfway. Aw, MaryKate’s bummed that her sensibilities got offended.

To talk out of one's ass about music as presented in this article is horseshit. Mr. Armento not only completely ignores the third band that played but poorly critiques the wonderful performance by Rockwood Revival and praises the shitty imitation of The Moldy Peaches that is Old Hat. Old Hat was annoying and certainly not witty. Rockwood Revival beautifully arranged classic songs and the setting at Northeast Kingdom offered an appropriate atmosphere. The den felt like pappy's livingroom with loved ones sitting around on the floor, where songs like "cripple creek" should be played. Fuck shitty paintings and fuck Dominic the Donkey.

The only antidote people have in a world with writing this medicore is to make music and fuck in the streets.
