Oh, the Anticipation Index. A relatively new feature of The Daily's relatively new insert, The Weekly, each week campus events are rated on a scale of "Incredible" to "Intolerable." Naturally, this week's index is about the Dillo Day line-up.
And still, in the most mild version of the Anticipation Index to date, commenters take offense at the rankings. One commenter wrote, "Just because there are five Dillo Day bands and five slots in this stupid ratings chart doesn't mean that thigns [sic] have to fit."
For once, I find myself taking the side of the Anticipation Index (if anything, I would only switch Third Eye Blind and Common, but that's because Third Eye Blind was my first favorite band when I was in seventh grade, and who can argue with nostalgia?) - people would complain if five bands hadn't filled the entire index. I can hear the "Way to not focus on all of the Dillo Day line-up" comments already. The thing that really riles people up is the titles of the slots - I wouldn't necessarily call Ted Leo "intolerable", but I would put him at 5 out of 5 bands that I am interested in listening to on Dillo Day.
But here's to you, Anticipation Index. I am neither offended nor in great disagreement with you. Perhaps that means you've failed me in some way.

Get a good spot and prepare to dance. Posted 05/30/2008 6:21 PMReply
I assume you are judging a band by their singles.
I reccomend that you check out some recent videos of 3eb in concert.

and if you doubt their ability
here is one of many improvisation solos performed at every show.

This was by no means an attack. I just like people to know they are still around and that their "poppy" songs were made/created to be singles. That doesnt mean that the whole albums are covered bith them!!. Posted 06/02/2008 6:08 PMReply
You too are judging a band by their singles. I reccomend you use your download program and get the songs- 'God of Wine' 'Motorcycle drive by'- for a bit heavier try 'Thanks a lot' 'good for you' or '1000 julys'.
Also try 'Blinded', 'Faster', 'wounded'. If you get that far into the list. Posted 06/14/2008 6:38 PMReply
