How much worse can that new music blog Idolator get?

thanks for the props, btw, although my column has deprived ILM of my passion for starting a Rolling 2007/8 Corporate Rock Thread.

yeah no problem. i have more of an interest in modern rock as a genre than i do a like for the music itself, but it's hard to find anyone covering it/ talking about it (intelligently) nowadays (except for like alternative press or something, but fuck that), except for like blender (which is one of the reasons it's my fav mag on the stands right now) or maybe rolling stone but that always seems more forced than anything.

too bad about the ilxor on another gawker site

didn't know you were on it, alex in baltimore, i will look for your writing

yeah it was weird to see ethan show up on fleshbot.

xpost.

Yeah, it occurred to me in retrospect that my rolling emo thread that gets five posts a month, if that, should have been broader. Your column has nice potential.

I find this thread title annoyingly unfair.

gawker media flog idolator to buzznet... who also own stereogum

That was before Lex got that Farringdon hook-up.

big perp steady ballin

big perp aka the coin slot polisher

I like how that blount post could just as easily be a dead serious Wrinklepaws post.

it reads serious as it is.

you're a better fucking writer than me daddino! gimme a break! blogs are (with very very very very few exceptions, like albino buffalo or something) complete fucking garbage and the only reason i can imagine anyone doing one (including the exceptions) with an ounce of selfrespect is to get fucking paid so that puts maura one up on any motherfucker that's gonna post on this thread bar possibly perpetua and at least her money is aboveboard and 'ethical'.

maura's still a better writer than anyone on this thread and the only reason anyone w/ an ounce of selfrespect would write a blog is to get paid.

or because they like writing?

writing a blog cuz you like writing vs. shooting amateur porn cuz you like acting

Someone hasn't read the DG vs Richard Hammond thread.

syllogism vs uh, non-syllogism

mind you talking about selfrespect to dom is like talking string theory to tuomas

hey guys can you recommend some GREAT BLOGS to read? i'm looking for some takes on that new cut copy.

charles aaron has ALOT to answer for.

goodness gracious, great blogs of fire

given that most of the posters on this thread have names like 'sanskrit' and '31g', i dunno how blount makes the comparison but there we are -- obviously maura is a superb writer and idolator is every selfrespecting music fan's homepage.

blog/messageboard = same

truth bomb

i "know" like who 3 ppl on this thread are and you ain't one of them. do you have a blog? what's yr take on the new sebastiAn ep? have you head about this thing called 'trapped in the closet'? and hey how bout what's going on in velvet revolver? crazy no?
