Someone to take over my blog for a week and a half?
Is it so bad, if a blog ain't updated for a week? In my opinion a blog should rest if the writer can't update it himself.

YAYBLOG!
As we're supporting the Global Fund For Women at the Blogathon I asked several artists to write about important female influences they had in their lives. Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond wrote a wonderful piece on her favourite singer o…

What's up with music blogs covering Supernova, Idol and Project Runway!?
Merz, I hope the next time you Yayblog! something it's actually about the HOT SHOES! not the UGLY NIKE SNEAKERS! YAY! And I don't mind reality music shows. That's the best way to watch TV with my younger sister. I can annoy her all…

Understanding Feeds 101
Of course you could configure your XML-Feed to publish just the first paragraph of your postings (you'll find this option at the Website-Feed panel at Blogger, but I don't know how it's done with Feedburner). In this way people who…

Contrast Podcast 017 - Who?
Let's do the hip hop then. I'm all for it. And I contributed to the instrumental contrast with a sung intro. I can't sing (but I really enjoy singing by myself), so take care of your ears before you start this podcast. Could hurt.

Contrast Podcast 017 - Who?
yes let's do hip hop. I'd rap my intro and bring you the German Hip Hop (or Austrian if you don't mind). BTW: the first thing (rapping the intro) was a bad joke.

that's pretty good. feedburner lists their most subscribed podcasts here: http://podfeed.net/feedburner_rankings.asp but those of course are just subscriptions not direct linked downloads. but I think this is definitely among the most …

you know ryan, i justed needed to look for something to critisize. I mean, the rest is a BIG THUMBS UP. you don't have to apologize for the banner at all. The only problem I have with it is that the banner just dominates your header as…

I like it. the only thing that bugs me, that the ad banner is that big. It looks like the actual header of the blog. other than that? great.

Tom? Me? I'll do the liveblogging thing for sure. (you get a mail this evening). The artists I wrote to didn't write back, I assume they are busy, or don't reply to strange e-mails from unknown people like me asking to blog. (whic…

Bizarre and random ways that people find your site...

why change the name? It's a great name, and if the name confuses your audience, they're at least curious enough to ask for its meaning. nothing worse than a boring blogname. I'd much rather click on Muruch than on "Indie Rock Bl…

So, umm, Stereogum went down today
I'd wear that t-shirt! seriously, sometimes i really love stereogum. but sometimes I really hate stereogum too. there's way too much celebrity bullshit on the site. it's not a f'n tabloid for gods sake! but when I read t…

I like (cut that) LOVE "Go Die Big City!" They're a band from my home country, the beloved Austria :) They playing some sort of charming, funny Low-Fi Pop, almost too quirky for its own good. Their video for Go Spiders Go! is …

Blogathon 2006
To be honest, I never e-mailed any artists asking for anything. And if John didn't help at the Goodhodgkins group post it would never have come to my mind. And I thought of Tullycraft because they mp3 blog themselves. I have no clue ho…

I just sent an E-Mail to John Vanderslice. I remember he helped guest blogging in a recent Goodhodgkins group post and I think he might help us out here as well. And I also sent a mail to Tullycraft. Tullycraft's homepage recently turned int…

still don't have a microphone. and I don't want to go with a Read Aloud program two weeks in a row. I think I'll buy a cheap mic and send something in. but I can't promise it.

British Bloggers? What say yous...
I like that Hot Chip single. I think it's called Over & Over. That's a really great song. and the good thing about this thread? I learned another English word: stodgy. English has the coolest adjectives of any language. (I speak …

Revolution In The Head's last post is dated May 27. I don't know if that blog is dead, but it'd be a shame. I remember that they compiled an awesome Belle & Sebastian doing covers compilation. This was a great blog. http://re…
