"NME is a company and a publication that is doing interesting things in the online space, and they are certainly avatars of taste in their world," Winn said.

I believe the correct phrase is "on their planet."

"Pitchfork's audience looks at that site like it is the Bible," said ~~one high-level music industry executive~~the intern we have in the office whose sole job is to make the coffee.

Why didn't Stylus get contacted about this wonderful business opportunity, Dom?

Richard Winn, Zune's head of artist development, said he was not aware of any talks with Pitchfork specifically, but added, "Conversations are ongoing with a number of outlets."

"Microsoft has focused its marketing plan on super-serving the indie music community"......does this mean an occasional fellatiooooooo?

I'm totally going to print up t-shirts with the words "Hip Blog Says Nah" on them.

It'll make more of a profit than Microsoft is going to make with Zune!

"I like to download songs off Urge onto my Zune." Sounds kinda funny, no?

TS: Old people calling Pitchfork a blog vs. Googlers calling ILM a blog

The NYTimes is a professionally-produced, collective print blog.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Monday, 23 October 2006 14:02 (twenty years ago)

Good god, what an awful name. Zune.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Monday, 23 October 2006 14:02 (twenty years ago)

Pitchfork referred to as 'ultra-snarky' in a somewhat ultra-snarky remark by ultra-snarky NY Post.

I keep trying to figure out which teen movie this series of events most closely mirrors. my gut instinct is to go with 10 Things I Hate About You, but that's kind of a cop-out answer.

The NYPost headline writers are brilliant. I really want them to come out with a coffee-table book of their best front pages.

Another smash Zune success:

People who have bought music from Microsoft's MSN Music store could face problems if they decide to buy the firm's new Zune portable player.

Microsoft has said it will stop selling music from MSN music from 14 November, when Zune goes on sale in the US.

But in a move that could alienate some customers, MSN-bought tracks will not be compatible with the new gadget.

WHAT ABOUT URGE?! WILL IT PLAY TRACKS FROM MY URGE ACCOUNT?! BILL GATES, WHY DO YOU PUNISH ME FOR MY FAITH IN YOU AND YOUR PRODUCTS?!?!
