I've seem some amusing instances of blogger types appearing to act a little overly self-important, but this one TAKES THE CAKE. The chart is the funniest. So digital sales are flat right now, but in 2010 they'll begin an to rise rapidly? Because of blogs? And this is all proven in ONE 130-word article? HAAAAA!!!!!!! Ok, forget that for just one moment and consider one little thing, a question the Savior Bloggers maybe forgot to consider. Is there anything in the article that says the popular albums in the 108 they sampled got popular because of blogs? Maybe, just maybe, the blogs were talking about them for the same reason people were buying them? Because they're good albums with buzz. No, bloggers wouldn't want to consider that possibility, even though it's ... common sense. it would mean that blogs are not the center of the universe.

Blog posts --> Successful albums? Maybe it's amazing albums --> blog posts. It is interesting that there was no correlation for "affiliation" alone... pretty interesting considering we live in a world with more acquaintances and affiliations that ever before. yeah this is the ol’ news media bastardization of correlations by trying to assign them a direction.

I don't know that I deserve it though. As for indie acts, I do plug them a lot (more often than not the dope ones) and I'm glad to see you're doing the same. ^Thanks for the flattery.

I know for sure that I have helped countless independent acts get the word out on HipHopRuckus that a lot of blogs didn't bother to post. I didn't see one dime, just take take take. But hey, it's def. a conversation piece. Yo, Rizoh you’re one brilliant dude.
