I hope not 'street slang'.

there were about a dozen people out there whose minds were equipped for the knowledge we were dropping and they all post/lurk on ILX anyway

"do" being the operative word. Rap blogs update weekly...

i have trouble w/ the idea of blogging. like, i bought a digital camera a couple fo months ago and i was like, OK WEB 2.0 HERE I COME but then i was just like, fuck it, who cares? i'm sort of struggling w/ the idea of ditching ILM, too, for the same reasons. does anybody even care?

i sort of wonder even what the hell is even the point of pitchfork too, for all the critical thinking that goes into it. you could just have a daily updated roll of new releases w/ the names of writers that endorse the album signed off beside the name of the release ... kind of like a petition, i guess ... "we, the undersigned, endorse the new clipse single: pemberton, shepherd, sylvester, fennessey ..." maybe one * or ! if it's in the 8.0-9.0 range and ** or !! if it's in the 9.0-10.0 range ...

i get more out of reading amazon.com reviews or just random-clicking on discogs.com links these days than reading blogs ...

― the art ensemble of chicago house (vahid), Monday, 28 August 2006 03:48 (nineteen years ago)

then again i read doubtbeat and i'm like, ok, this matters.

how many visitors do you get a day, andy?

― the art ensemble of chicago house (vahid), Monday, 28 August 2006 03:59 (nineteen years ago)

who cares about the number of readers? insert cliche of velvet underground only having three and a half fans but those went on to form bands... that said, i rarely blog/write these days because 1 i have a baby (yes, yawn if you will, but the cliche is true: you sort of lose interest in writing) and 2 uh... well i just don't have the time anymore. that said, i really WANT to write and listen to music.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Monday, 28 August 2006 07:46 (nineteen years ago)

this is the result of distributed content. more writers....less readers

who wants to trawl around a million different sites, it takes all day! ok, rss has made this easier, so you can attempt to recentralized things

i find my patience for reading things a lot less than i used to. im concentrating on reading mainly manuals or technical books at the moment, things that show me how to do things. i rarely even read normal books these days

― -- (688), Monday, 28 August 2006 08:06 (nineteen years ago)

haha armand van helden is exactly who i thought of when i read the title of this thread.

i don't have a good answer for your questions vahid (but i rarely do)

xpost: i'm reading normal books at a pace unheard of since like the sixth grade. there's something luxurious about a very long, uninterrupted string of text that takes weeks to get through

I don't buy the whole "too much stuff" argument. If something is good, people keep reading it, and it wins more readers etc. I want to read good writing about music and keep looking for enough blogs that meet my criteria until my needs are met. It's not that hard. They're all cross-linked anyhow!

― Jacob (Jacob), Monday, 28 August 2006 08:09 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, Jacob, but I still think that blogs (esp music ones) have sort of lost their appeal to many people. Or maybe that's just me.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Monday, 28 August 2006 08:15 (nineteen years ago)

I think it's inseparable from the bloggers and what they blog about. For example I still find Woebot as readable as ever, but I can totally understand that his perspective and the stuff he writes about isn't of interest to everyone. I guess what has changed is that a lot of the people who had 'big' blogs a few years back have moved on. But at the same time there are lots of new ones, a great example is the way old music is so much better covered these days with stuff like soulsides, dreamchimney etc.

There are probably more 'specialist' microblogs out there than there used to be, and less generalist ones. But I see that as a positive. Though obviously it's a negative if your reason for blogging is to be important.

― Jacob (Jacob), Monday, 28 August 2006 08:35 (nineteen years ago)

my reason for blogging is not to be personally important. however, if i don't feel that blogging is important in an objective sense (meaning that nobody will suffer or die if i don't blog) then it's not worth my time to blog.

― the art ensemble of chicago house (vahid), Monday, 28 August 2006 08:58 (nineteen years ago)

the problem with blogs is that the first thing everyone said about the web was hooray no more gatekeepers, we dont have to rely on a few magazines/shows anymore, and then what happens is people cluster around a few blogs replicating the gatekeeper scenario, whereas that seems to have faded now. perhaps traditional blogs are caught between two stools, 'proper media' and 'proper interactivity' (define as you wish)

it might be that to prosper, blogs have to bring content, rather than opinion (because opinion lends itself better to more interactive forms), and that this is a partial reason for the initial rise of mp3 blogs. perhaps newsy blogs are faring better?

Quite. (Working in a library helps, to be sure.)

News blogs have the advantage of the pitch that the matters under discussion actually matter to your physical day to day existence. (That this may be illusory or a projection is another related subject.)

If you can "blog yourself into a corner", I think I've done it.
Probably time to start over.
