[...] 18, 2007 in Blogs, Music Having finally read the responses to Rockcritic’s group Q&A, there’s a fair degree of both alignment and contrast from a wide-ranging bunch of music blog [...]

I hate reading online…in fact, I often copy and paste Carl’s blog into a *.doc for reading later at home in the comfort of my queen size bed under the warm light of my halogen lamp. I also considered starting my own blog, given my keen interest/obsession of all things musical…so, I guess brevity and concision is always the challenge, as is the time investment of readers…neither of which the blog-o-sphere is particularly prone to…so…I’m most indifferent, like I am about my Def Leppard LPs. I’m glad they are there, I just don’t pay much attention to them. I think Carl will agree, I have a tendency toward egotism, but I’m a huge fan of pedestrian blogging…unfortunately, the audience is the thing…don’t you think? In this case, rockcritics.com have identified one and entrenched themselves accordingly…I am a mere dilettante visiting, like the proverbial Griel Marcus…’cause you are all so damn cool and I wish we were friends.

[...] October 11th, 2007 — Ned Raggett Going to this FT entry from Tom E. further led to this one on rockcritics.com. Well worth checking out (I might read them in reverse order); my random comments on both are [...]

Wow, ‘FWIW it’s worth’ — I should coin that. Ultimate overkill.

(Great roundtable of course! But I have to be honest, I wouldn’t've noticed it had I not noticed Tom’s FT response to it, and I wouldn’t've noticed THAT had I not been idly checking the feed and wondered what his Pet Shop Boys reference was about — it’s a bit like the supposed ringtone phenomenon, where something needs to be immediately catchy in a brief burst in order to stand out at all and be worth more investigation. Quite honestly, as I think is well said by many in the piece, time commitments and the ability to simply browse and consider are often mutually exclusive; in my case a far greater amount of time is spent by me on political commentary and considerations than it is on music discussion over the past few years.)

Mmm, FWIW it’s worth, Carsmile, wordpress.com has done v. well with spam blocks and clear referrals. Mind you, I’m also amused at where I’m getting referrals from. Apparently the Poles were fascinated by my recent Radiohead talk.

i think there's a real problem with even picking up that people are responding to things you've said, comments box or no (and i know which side of that divide i'm on), due to the proliferation of spam blogs, so checking one's refferal logs is a pain. how exactly would people see, for example Tom's piece without having an rss feed for every blog (and every comments feed) in the world (hi maura!)?
