Oh, the things you can learn surfing the comments section over at Chartreuse.  If my comments section were half as active as his, this blog would be a much better place...

First off, a reader named Adrian investigated the Sandi Thom phenomenon, turning up some CNET News commentary and analyzing the singer's alleged rise to Internet fame:

"There’s no sign of heavy traffic occurring in the days leading up to March 16, 2006 - when, according to the PR version of events, there was a huge buzz building, and people all over the world were checking out the webcast.

It’s been asked, why would a truly independent artist that could attract over 100,000 online visitors a night, sign a traditional record contract today? The answer is they wouldn’t."

Secondly, Steven Edward Streight trashed "the dorks over at The Publishing Spot," without bothering to write this dork over at The Publishing Spot.  I spent some time reading his blog, and I wholeheartedly agree with his 13th Blog Myth: "Reciprocal commenting is not necessary."

He's right. Reciprocal commenting is essential.  We should send criticism straight to the people we are criticizing so they can benefit and respond.  My comments were a bit pedestrian, but I was apologizing for writing without thinking--not trying to insult all bloggers.  Criticism is always appreciated over here.  Just write and tell me about it next time...

Aw shucks, I was hoping you were going to quote my vicious attack barbs against that stupid lady singer who warbles, "I wish I was a punk with flowers in my hair", confusing punk (1977-1984) with hippie (1966-1973), a mistake spanning a headache almost film miles wide.

I was taken aback when I vaguely glimpsed a truncated version of a partial sentence fragment from The Publishing Spot, over at the Chartreuse blog beta.

The syllables that offended my blogomorphic sensibilities was "Blogging can be dangerous when we write before we speak..." which reminded me of the pennywhistle antics of MSM goons.

Any sin they lay at the feet of the blogosphere is a foible the MSM not only commits, but commits right as they discuss how the bloggers in their pajama uniforms commit the sin.

As the MSM describes the "unedited, unfiltered, irresponsible" journalism of blogs, they violate journalistic standards with rash, unsubstatiated statements about Blogging in General, with very little understanding of the Blog Revolution.

The poster Adrian is a former security investigator turned music manager and he found out a lot more stuff which he is posting on his new blog (http://borneveryminute.blogspot.com/)

I can take no responsibility for the comments of my readers except to say that Vaspers is an aquired taste. I don't understand half of what he's talking about. But the words he uses has a lot of syllables so I am trained to give him the benifit of the doubt.

And I think this blog is a great place. Comments or no comments.

Dear Steven,

Thanks for the note. You are welcome to post anytime you like, I love your colorful vocabulary and the aggressive tone of your pieces.

Dear Chartreuse,

Thanks for the post. You've had a great run this week, I learned all sorts of new things about popular music and the blogosphere. I appreciate the Adrian link too, I'll check it out tonight...
