jlhAbout 18 months ago I stopped reading the music blog Idolator on a regular basis, mostly because they uploaded 5-8 songs a day and I was feeling overwhelmed. I even skipped their coverage of AI7, and I loved their thoughts on AI6. Well, at some point they stopped being an mp3 bank (I still can't work out when/why, if anyone knows?) and now that I'm freelancing in an office again and you bitches don't post that much, a Gawker Media blog that posts 20 times a day fits the bill, especially as I'm avoiding political media at the moment.
Anyway I took a spin through the archives today while waiting around for a meeting to happen and found some real treasures in their AI7 posts, including a theory on the rise and fall of the show (in a future post) and a link to that WSJ article on 18-year-old Carly Hennessey as a symbol of all that was wrong with the music business in 2003. Stay with it--that last line is a keeper.
