hey guys, new to the "team" and new to the whole blog experience. i hope it will be a joyful and fulfilling one. anyway, i completely agree with dorkus... even jason mraz got signed (riding the john mayer wave?). however, i can't seem to tear myself away from the teeny magazine articles, if only to groan about how lame they are. oh well, the teen targeted media will let the emo thing go in about a month, once the trend is over. until then, we can only grin and bear the avril levignes of the world... she was on trl today and she bugs the crap out of me, but i can't get her song out of my head! it's so exasperating.

we also have to realize that the goal of any band is to "spread the music" (r.i.p. kara's flowers). and if that music is actually good, popularity is a possible inevitability. the media, in turn, attempts to cover what is popular. the bottom line is, we can't expect any band that we might like to stay small. on the other hand, we can't expect them to stay big for long either.
