pop or poopRicky Martin recently came out of the closet on his website. Should he have been more open about his sexuality earlier in his career? * Pop: No. Everyone is entitled to handle their own sexuality their own way. Ricky didn't owe anyone any more details than he chose to share when he was on top of the charts. * Poop: Yes. Ricky could've taken a stand and provided more leadership for gay fans when he was a bigger star, but he obviously was more concerned with his career.

Just noticed they got an Alison Goldfrapp interview. It would've probably been a lot better conducted by Maura, but that's beside the point. In the glory days, it would've had about 200 comments. Now it has FOUR.

How much worse can that new music blog [Hype Machine|Gorilla vs Bear|Popmatters|etc] get?
http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/fastest-growing-digital-entertainment-publisher,1322876.shtmlhttp://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2010/06/update-story-behind-buzzmedia-the-music-blogs.html
BuzzMedia has added today 6 major music blogs. PureVolume, PopMatters, Gorilla vs. Bear, The Hype Machine, Concrete Loop and RCRD LBL join Stereogum, Buzznet, Idolator and Absolute Punk in the web entertainment publisher's music portfolio.
each blog has structured its own unique deal with Buzz and most are centered around advertising. While Buzz does own and control most of its original properties, the new "additions" leave most of the bloggers independent. A spokesperson for BuzzMedia described the new relationships with HypeM, RCRDLBL and Pop Matters as "partnerships" and claimed that "all sites will retain their own editorial control."For most of the blogs, "partnership" appears to mean selling and delivering adds. But for the Gorilla vs. Bear blog, The Buzz relationship goes farther. "We generally don't get into details of how deals are structured," said the Buzz spokesperson, "but Gorilla vs. Bear is an acquisition in the form of an investment with right to buy the remainder".

there should be a 'via Carles' in there too
secretly hoping that Buzznet buys more shitty indie rock blogs and slowly ruins them like they did Idolator

GOTTA CATCH EM ALL!!!

yeah i mean...i'd be pretty bitter if they've actually learned their lesson from the Idolator fiasco in time to preserve the magic of Gorilla Vs. Bear and help them thrive
― Truollmas (some dude), Tuesday, 1 June 2010 15:04 (thirteen years ago) link
no idea how much Concrete Loop or Absolute Punk are 'worth' per se but i'm betting they knew what they were doing with their sites as is and probably didn't need to enter into such a risky partnership
― Truollmas (some dude), Tuesday, 1 June 2010 15:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Absolute Punk has been owned by Buzznet for years now
