So much horrible music...
We've always had tons terrible music in America. Only the decent stuff gets remembered in the long run.

Good luck with everything, merzmars. You definitely have passion, which ain't all bad.

Hey Label Dudes
Why don't you just buy the cheaper format and then send a check for the difference directly to the band?

How long does it take for Elbows to approve your blog?
Hey Brandon, Sorry about that. My bad. I don't know how I missed it. Probably because I don't pay attention to stats, etc. Thanks for adding!

www.grooversparadise.com has been waiting patiently for quite awhile now. We are a collective blog featuring writers from other blogs that specialize in 20th century music.

Is MOG the definitive music portal?
They were all hot to get my blog onto the system. I got several excited solicitations. Then, after I sent them a short e-mail briefly explaining my concern that profiting from the ads might prevent my postings from falling within the fair use doctri…

Anthony, I like the new view. And I'm impressed that you considered everyone's input here. (And I should add that I just got a hit from hypem.com/all/21/, so somebody went to the trouble to switch over from the default and slog through 21…

FWIW, being listed on the HM front index page (for just a few minutes at a time) increased my readership more than any other single factor in the past two years.

Agreed. Or you could just used sendspace.com.

Just my hunch, but I think the Top 100 concept may end up being a turn off to fickle music fans. Part of what made HM cool in the first place was the community feel and the wide variety of stuff you could stumble across on the front page. If it get…

Best blogs of 2008
If you like older music (i.e. from the last century), you have to check out The Adios Lounge (http://www.adioslounge.com/) which is a new blog this year. LD, the author, has an amazing knowledge of good music of all styles (especially music with a l…

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?
Putting aside Hillary's ability to perform well at Sec. of State (a matter on which I have no opinion), its a shrewd political move for Obama. Clinton could do a lot more damage as a same-party rival in the Senate. You know the old saying: K…

If my kitchen sink had a "donate" button, I don't think I would press it very often.

It's getting pretty ridiculous lately. I'll probably just shut down my blog. What's the point?

How can I blog mp3? (mini manual: design, traffic, managing, etc)
Good idea. Somebody should write a book.

I've noticed that Blogger has been deleting posts without notice lately. Hasn't happened to me yet, but it did at three other sites this week.

Enter the Genius?
I just started trying it out, but I think I like it better than the other recommendation tools I've tried before. It's picking songs from different eras that go together well. If you've got a big digital library it's a fun way t…

The availability of that option depends on how the blogger has set up their blogger account. The new default rule for blogger blogs seems to require the commenter to have a blogger account. The owner of the blog might not even realize they can set …

Hey fellow bloggers, I just wanted to call your attention to a new featuring I've been doing at Setting The Woods On Fire called the "originals" series. I've been taking albums that feature cover songs (e.g., Elvis Costello…

Exchange of guest posts?
@Sean, I agree with you. If the labels and RIAA wanted out-in-the-open .mp3 blogs to go away, then they could make that happen pretty easily just by filing a few lawsuits. I assume they like blogs because of the lack of lawsuits and the fact tha…
