[NewMusic] Shows that happened 10-13 years ago

[Matt Davignon]

Weren't they wonderful?

As someone who didn't start going to ba-newmus-related shows until
1999 or so, I'm often surprised by this very focused, very specific
form of nostalgia. For example, the last 2 transbay calendars featured
reprinted reviews from shows back in this era. Were colors brighter
and sounds more full between 1996 and 1999 in a way that they haven't
been before or since?

Personally, I consider the era from 2003 to 2007 or so to be sort of a
golden age for local weird music, but I'm not sure if I'll be still
talking about it so fervently in 2019.

So... what's the skinny? Please discuss.
