Blog Etiquette

So a few weekends ago, I went to Skippy and Cortney's wedding. I took a short video of some of the musical entertainment. I linked to a local music blog's post on the wedding. In that Brooklyn Vegan post, the credit and links were flowing all over the place.

Not so in the BV subsequent entry about the video I posted in which this was written: "And now, a video has emerged...." Yeah, I think I know where it emerged from. Maybe BV didn't know where it had "emerged" from but I find that hard to believe since the video had been found from my link to its earlier post. Whatever. I don't care that much but I found it a bit suspect. I don't need credit and obviously I'm not looking for random traffic. I know the few people who read this blog and that is the way I like it.

Then today, SHR called me to check out Pitchfork. Yup, you guessed it - it took a few days but now they had stumbled onto my video and credited BV for the hot tip. Pretty funny, huh? I'm a blog superstar for a few minutes even if Brooklyn Vegan gets all the credit! Check it out.

SHR pointed out that if people did enough digging around on my other videos, maybe they'd stumble onto and enjoy the classic How Sweet Touch Joined If You Want My Bocce. Sweet!

Damn interweb!

haha. yup, most of these music blogs are completely lame and their importance totally bloated. unless you're talking self-importance, which is something that is not in short supply amongst these circle-jerking dodos.

BV only wishes he was as cool as Sweet Touch, I know because BV DJ'ed a party thrown by ST many moons ago. That is all.
