Sometimes I read blogs that post ‘relevant stories’ that were generated by magazines. I am not sure if music magazines will still be alive in _ years, but I think that their last opportunities to ‘get people to visit their websites’ means making ‘huge lists’ where they list a bunch of blogworthy/noteworthy people, then get ‘the entire internet’ to react to it, as if their ‘editorial staff’ is a group of people who are ‘way more qualified’ than a ‘bro who started a blogspot.’
I think that ‘NME Magazine’ is something that exists in the United Kingdom. From what I understand, lots of artists try to ‘get buzz’ in the UK or something, then they try to ‘make it cool in the USA.’ Kinda like the Spice Girls.
It’s a jungle out there for musicians. Even if you aren’t being stabbed on stage for playing badly, by your own band mate, you still have a struggle for survival on your hands.
