Time Article Incites Red Hot Blogosphere Reaction
I’m not the most knowledgable person about the music industry. But when I see something interesting, I reblog it here – because it’s just too interesting to ignore. And so here is this week’s highlight:
Time Article from 1/24/12:

Perhaps they should add some synths and go into the pop genre if they want to get famous. I bet they would get some noteriety if they stuck to their roots in Portland. Who ever said the music industry made money? Didn’t Lady Gaga just declare bankruptcy?
