It has been put to me by one Micaspam that I am lazy and neglectful of this here blog.
Yes that was unecessary but it still cracked me up something wicked.
Anyway, he does have a point and a good one at that. Thus why you are getting another today!!! Cue the celebrations.
I'm sorry, that's enough of that. I know I've used up the quota of needless hyperlinking.
Us WebMedia08 types are quite enthusiastic about our class, yes I speak on behalf of all of us. The ones that don't fall into this category probably wont read this anyway so that doesn't matter.
It makes one reflect on ones dependency on the intraweb and how you can spend so much time on it and yet come out with nothing productive. My main scapegoats would be the time-consuming mistresses that are social networking websites like Facebook and Myspace. Having two is somewhat unnecessary and yet I have quite the dependancy. I tend to break out in cold sweats just at the thought of not being able to check to see what's been happening with my pals and if they've sent me any Maori Kai applications. Sad yet true.
Another one of the other sources of internet crack that I just can't kick is none other than Perez Hilton which is even more sad yet true.
Noone really wants to admit that they love all of the addictive schadenfreude that he dishes up in his bitchy little way and yet here I am, hand on heart, confessing to you. I am a crackhead and he is my pusher.
The redeeming feature for all of these sites that I frequent way too frequently is the music linking. Not so much for Perez but he does promote some indie artists which tend to appeal to my camp sensibilities but that's about all. Mostly crap.
Myspace in particular is one of my main sources for feeding my musical fiendery. I couldn't even try to put a number on the amount of artists that I have found courtesy of this motherload. Naturally the selection of their songs is somewhat limited and I'm not all that appreciative of the new format which I find to be hard to navigate but it's still my good pal and the friendship is likely to grow and flourish.
Facebook is helpful to establish my fanmenship (that is a new word, academia is all about jargon) and keeping tabs on my buddies likeminded tendencies musically. We just tend to share the love.
Imeemis a bit more for the hardcore musical-social-networker and I find it handy but it's a bit selective, harder to link and whatnot but still good to trawl through and find specific songs. Yes, yes. We all know about Lastfm etc.
Blogging is probably one of the best things that happened to my life. Period. Obviously not so much mine because it's *cough* fairly average as of right now but other more involved types are my idols.
As you will find in my delicious there are a few that I'm pretty much engaged to including but not limited to Musical Schizophrenia and OkayPlayer's very excellent blog of note Blogarhythms. Where Musical Schizophrenia tickles my jazz/soul/hip hop fancy, Blogarhythms does include these genres of excellence but also branches out to pretty much everything everywhere. Me likey.
Now, to Give Up The Funk, get into this. It's delicious, especially Phone No.
You're welcome.
