Greeting The Beginning Of CMJ With A Shrug

- Q-Tip's not trying to sell you anything at CMJ. At least not until sometime in 2008. [NY Times]
- Billboard blogger gets too drunk on the open bar to tell anything us about the changes at Pandora online radio, tries to disguise lack of notes as "sparing us the details." (Also seems to be confused by this whole Houston hip-hop "sizzurp" thing.) [Jaded Insider]
- Even the Segways are exhausted after only one day. [Listening Post]
- RealNetworks attempts to garner some "street cred" as a threat to Apple by booking a bunch of boring-ass indie bands for its showcase. Sadly, it seems to be working. [Crave]

  • but Pandora seems to be worth checking out if you want a new online radio outlet.

    Is the "jaded insider" talking about Pandora like (s)he's recommending some hot new thing (s)he just got "hepped" to?

    I demand revocation of the title, immediately.

  • I've known about Pandora for a while now, but tend to block it out because the service happens to share a name with my boyfriend's brother's horrible dog. It's just a reminder to readers that it does exist and is worth playing with.

    Also, if you want me to report on something, don't start handing me whiskey the second I enter a room. I am a tiny girl with a low tolerance.

  • cortney asks the tuff q'ns!
    like "where's the money?!?!?!"
