bdbrospl01.jpgWhat better way to show that DIY music videos uploaded to YouTube are the new way that bands are promoting themselves than by conducting an interview with your own brother, who just happens to be in a band that posted a clip of its own on Sunday?

  • Is it bad that I feel like it was a greater breach of journalism ethics that the interview was incredibly uninteresting? Besides, how close can they be if he's emailing the questions? Does the guy from Javelin really not want to grant a phoner to the guy who has the power to write the most biased piece on the group ever? So why not?
