apparently they didn't buy Hype Machine, and possibly not RCRD LBL tho

From TC: "After contacting BUZZMEDIA we’ve learned that in reality, the deals with The Hypemachine, RCRD LBL and PopMatters are advertising partnerships while the others are straight-up purchases. All sites will retain editorial control, we were also told."

so Buzzmedia now owns GORILLA VS BEAR

~~~important news~~~

actually, that doesn't look like it's true either. A++ press release

Dear music blogosphere,

due to legal reasons and intense server costs CaptainCrawl has to go offline - forever.
And - sadly - this is not an „April the 1st“ joke.

In the past 4 years CaptainCrawl has been one of the most visited sites in the music
blogosphere, with more than 4,500,000 (searchable and tagged) music blogs posts,
16,000,000 unique visits and some 10,000s of high quality one-click audio previews
(tracks, mixes, talks). From April 1st 2012, this site will be offline.

Remember music blogs?

aquarium drunkard (featuring certain ilx0rs) is, after 20 years, going to a subscription model

i think they're pretty great! i hope it goes well

Yeah, I posted it on another thread. I’m torn, I get it and think it’s probably the only path forward, but I think $10 a month is a big ask.

I don’t know the answer, and no shade at AD in the least, but honestly not liking the glimpse into the future of the internet being like a collection of streaming services where you gotta choose which ones you can afford to subscribe to.

as an unemployed person, i can't really justify the cost -- especially when everything they post will make me want to spend money. but i can imagine subscribing in an ideal glorious future
