What's up guys! I haven't been to Tower Records in a while, have you? I haven't, but I heard from my buddy that they're having some kind of promotion right now where you get any two indie "hot list" CDs for $18.99 plus tax* -- sounds cool, I guess. Does anyone know if it's true?

*not valid in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico

It's sold a little over 2 million so far within FIVE MONTHS of its release. That's damn good, especially since it took the previous album much longer to reach triple platinum. So far the album has had two hit singles. It will have at least one more, if not two or three. With another big hit and another round of touring, they are pretty likely to eventually push the tally up to 3 million or higher, at least. So no, there's nothing modest about their achievement at all, especially in a time when most people's sales aren't nearly as consistent and/or robust.

I think he has an overinflated idea of his impact on indie bands.

So the criticisms of Matthew here are that he posted something about how some artist had sold a certain number of records and then he posted something about wanting to hear some album he hadn't heard yet. I don't understand.

― Macon Z. Dinner (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 18:31 (twenty years ago)

"posted something"

― dr. william idol (dr g), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 19:05 (twenty years ago)

Yes, "posted." When you put a comment on ILX, it is called "posting."

― Macon Z. Dinner (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 19:17 (twenty years ago)

Just back away from the table. They are mad with blood lust and it must be sated.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 19:25 (twenty years ago)

That's hardly just "something" that he's posted.

― dr. william idol (dr g), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 19:25 (twenty years ago)

I don't understand! What thred was it on, anyway? You're annoyed because he was talking about how some band sold a lot of records and it was an achievement?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 19:41 (twenty years ago)

I'm not annoyed at all.

― dr. william idol (dr g), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 19:51 (twenty years ago)

Well, that's good.

― Macon Z. Dinner (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 19:54 (twenty years ago)

I think what you're meant to infer here Tim is the tone in which Perpcore posts and how his posts feign innocence as a luring tool. I think certain spiders exhibit similar behavior when hunting prey. Also certain grotesque deepwater fish.

Did you read this thread?

― 'you' vs. 'radio gnome invisible 3' FITE (ex machina), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 20:10 (twenty years ago)

Yeah. Has there been a committee investigation into these charges?

― Macon Z. Dinner (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 20:11 (twenty years ago)

Fluxblog, being one of the first, and certainly one of the most popular mp3 blogs, most likely does receive a lot of tracks sent directly from labels. Obviously the danger there is no different from the same practice that has taken place in radio. That blogs will post tracks for reasons owing less to do with the merits of the particular song than with some other form of outside influence (payola, etc.). The mp3 blogs, thus far, aren’t in much danger of falling into this trap because our “listenership” just isn’t that far-reaching, even for the bigger sites like Fluxblog. Fluxblog, it should also be said, has retained its phenomenal track record. Matthew Perpetua continues to run one of, if not the finest mp3 blog out there.
