Blogging Like It’s 1999, or, The Good and the Not So Good Under-Heard Bands…

Blogging Like Its 1999, or, The Good and the Not So Good Under Heard Bands... feature

Being a low-level blogger isn’t easy. I know it might seem like we just sit around and listen to music all day, occasionally sharing our opinions and complaining about Britney’s latest album, but it’s so much more than that. Sometimes we even complain about The Killers’ new album. I know, I know, don’t worry, I’m seeking medical attention as we speak. Alas, this is the life of the blogger who is slightly above the level of your Aunt Martha who managed to turn on her computer and figure out how to set up a blog where she talks about her unfulfilling sex life with your Uncle George (eww), but also far below the level of Pretty Much Amazing. How did I know I outranked your Aunt Martha? Well, it all started the day that the music industry decided to put me in charge (yes, I was surprised too). Continue reading →

RANT #1

RANT #1 mp3

Hey, I have a lot of news to post up later but here is some randomness I feel like posting.

First I want to thank Emily for joining PMA and becoming a Contributive Editor. Everyone say “HI EMILY WE LOVE YOU AND WE WILL WORSHIP YOU FOR EVER”. Kay, thanks. I am really excited, actually, because Emily to totally NYC-East-Side-Gangstah while I’m on the west coast poppin’ caps. I have a feeling its bout to get hot and heavy.

mp3: 2Pac – 2 of Amerikas Most Wanted

Alright I might be getting carried away, but ever since I’ve been coming to this Starbucks everyday for the passed few months, the manager tends to give me free drinks, so I’m kind of wired.

What I’ve been:

Reading Lately: I read tons of blogs — this is true. I read the majors like Stereogum, Idolator, Spinner, etc. but I do enjoy myself a good small(ish) blog. I highly recommend these “magical musical tour guides” (yes, Emily, I stole your phrase) for regular reading: TJ’s Viva La Mainstream! blog, this blog reminds me why I love alt. rock. Definitely a new favorite. Wongie’s Music World is a great blog where you can find the latest pop and indie rock single on the same homepage. Thats fucking gold in my book. Now only if it was updated more often. Get Weird Turn Pro is my newest and most addictive read. The ultimate blog for the hottest, obscure remixes around. Brugo is amazing in blog form. What else can I say, my heart goes to it. And last but not least Pop Music Kingdom, which has just gone on hiatus. I couldn’t be sadder — one of the best pop music blogs out there.

Listening to Lately: For some reason or another Fall Out Boy, Britney Spears, My Chemical Romance, and Rihanna have all found themselves on my repeat playlist on my iPod for days now — but according to iTunes this song has been played 253 times in just a few days:

Looks like ‘Ye has a blog. It’s something between a personal journal and a fashionista’s ranting.  And apparently he’s a huge fan of the YouTube. But in all seriousness, who can live without these babies:

Even Wordpress Dickfarts… Playlist

So today I noticed my blogroll is completely gone. I did some digging around and it turns out I’ve done nothing wrong, but its the system’s fault. I was living in bliss thinking I was free from Blogger’s shitty screw-ups. Looks like Even Wordpress Dickfarts. So to all of Pretty Much Amazing’s affiliates: Sorry!

Even Wordpress Dickfarts... Playlist mp3

And the sexy pic award goes to…

mp3: Akon – Sorry, Blame It On Me

mp3: Clipse – Mama I’m Sorry

mp3: Feist – So Sorry

mp3: Youth Group – So Sorry

mp3: Sunset Rubdown – I’m Sorry I Sang On Your Hands That Have Been In The Grave

mp3: The Futureheads – Stupid and Shallow *download or die*

mp3: Schoolshooter – Stuck On Stupid

mp3: Green Day – American Idiot

Free Music is nice and all, but wouldn’t you prefer the happy feeling your soul gets when you actually buy music? Take a peek at Amazon, eMusic, and iTunes.

Its The 2007 VMAS, Bitch!

Its The 2007 VMAS, Bitch! music videos

I am sure most of you tuned in last night for MTV’s 2007 VMAS. If you didn’t you probably read the live blogging marathon a few blogs had going on. If you didn’t do that… well you didn’t miss much anyway. To catch a glimpse of the winners turn your pretty little heads over here. One of the coolest things about last night was that almost every single performance was horrible, but none stooped lower than Miss Britney “Trailer Trash” Spears, but more on that later. Thanks to a few helpful hands (thanks for the email Kevin, Rob, and Sammie) Pretty Much Amazing has compiled the Best and Worst Performances of last night’s VMA’s.
