Today is Thursday and there’s just soooo many things to write about, I guess.
For instance, the Pitchfork drinking game – covered on idolator and stereogum and orginally MW Blog. Definately the hot commodity today.
Another “hot” story today is the “Capitol Controversy.” Basically Capitol employees don’t like their CEO/President Andy Slater and say he’s doing a shit job. Can I say one thing, I don’t give a care. The only reason it’s worth a read is because it’s kinda funny. Such travesties within a huge label? Who knew. If you want to know more about what the employees think and core artists and blah blah blah, original article by Page Six. Also idolator and stereogum again.
So we all write about the same thing? I think I just did, now I’m part of “the machine.” By “we all” I’m simply referring to music bloggers in general even though there are many different types. I feel so used.
On another note, do any of you bloggers get a little pissed when you see something on a “more popular blog” that you wrote about way before they did? For instance, I read stereogum all the time and love it. Yet they will get more credit for posting David Hasselhoffs “jump in my car” video earlier this week YET I posted that up 3 months ago in July here. In fact here’s other HOFF videos to piss yourself too. I’m just jealous I guess, but with blogger fame comes all kinds of responsibility. WHAT, blogger fame? Yep, come on.. you know all the popular music blogs by name, and Pitchfork is god. Why can’t I be a XM radio host and be known by all at South By Southwest and get sent “cool new mp3 players.” Oh yeah, I know why I can’t – because my writing is shit (according to some) and “everything is too promotional.”
So who wrote the rules on blogging? Oh yeah, I think it’s write what you want to write, it’s a blog dammit. Now that I’m done with my tangents, go listen to The Presets
