Hey guys, This is about my son, but I’m posting it because it pertains to what is happening in the music industry. My son is the drummer in the indie-rock band The Dodos. Here is something that was written about them in the LA Times blog, Pop&Hiss- "The Dodos have landed. The latest from the Bay Area pop act, which crafts hooks with a worldy spin, has been drawing rave reviews. "No Color" is an album that also features a high-profile guest spot in Neko Case, and plenty of good things were overheard about the band at the recent South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. The album cracks the top 100, landing at No. 70 after selling 7,000 copies. While nothing should be taken away from the Dodos' success, it can't help but illustrate the industry's overall decline in sales. At 7,000 copies, it's as if a little more than half of SXSW's paid registrants of 13,000 bought one. " So, it’s great for a little indie band to sell 7,000 albums in a week! Yay! (Will take most of the year to quadruple that number…maybe somewhat more if lucky) But, really, sell 7000 and you chart at #70??? Well, the Pop&Hiss comments say it all. Also, mixed blessing, this is great publicity for them, but those darned fussy indie fans may now think they are too successful, too “mainstream.” peace&love This probably also illustrates, really well, that this age group is the group that steals music the most. Congrats to your son! |

Should we use the mediabase request form here if we are out of the area? Or just focus on the 8 at 8? BTW when voting here: www.q102.com/pages/interactive8.html Ctrl R is your friend to reload the page quick after voting. To reduce the time spent scrolling I temporarily shrunk the page resolution (I'm using Chrome on a PC). |

OK, maybe I'm reading too much into it. But that was weird. Is it good to be a diva (like the female pop stars being referred to as the divas) and Fantasia isn't even close to being one? Or is it bad to be a diva (over demanding and difficult version of the word) and Adam is way more difficult in her opinion? Very strange bit of the interview. |

Actually, I was really surprised by her reaction, had to listen to it a few times to come to my own conclusion Didn't like the short laugh..I think
it might be that GAY thing, AGAIN! Has she even met Adam?
ETA Jennifer Hudson's interview
Could somebody tell me how to bring the original post to mine? I probably should be able to figure it out but :-/

Has she even met Adam? Well it's an interview with a gay website/media group. I didn't know quite what to think of it either, but I'm not gonna assume it's anything but an acknowledgement that he's a fine, fly, fierce b*tch and a fashionista ;D . He just tweeted in support of her new album. |

Has she even met Adam? I don't want to jump to conclusions, I don't know her at all and have always liked her. It just seemed like she was about to launch into a story and then thought better of it. I'm not aware that she knows Adam. Its the diva word I think. Sometimes its meant as an insult and sometimes its not. |
