Create a band blog.... please Vesper?

By the way, I once again invite bands to do a band blog. Vesper improperly pointed out that I somehow favor bands who do blogs. Does Ritual to Romance have a blog? I have stopped promoting blogs because bands just won't do it. I find something positive to review about every band, and most don't have blogs... so... And why do I do it? It's no great secret to bands that I am networking as an artist. I tell bands that...

As for Vesper, I know that every reader judges bands/people for themselves. As I mentioned in recent Berg-related articles, I don't wield some kind of magical power over the people of Bakersfield. So go listen to Vesper and judge for yourself. Am I wrong for suggesting Norfolk has marketing potential in the alt country realm? I didn't find a marketing angle in Vesper, but didn't mean I hated them... go listen. They might rock your socks off.

As for me, I'm still giggling...

Oh and as for bands like Vesper, as a friend in the music industry intimated recently: Bands like Vesper won't go very far because of their overt sensitivity. There are real 'paid' critics, and many many in the music community who are way harsher than me. If you have thin skin, then you won't go anywhere because of the inability to take criticism...

Don't people understand that any press is good press? Why do you think I stopped replying to he-who-shall-not-be-named? He thrives on bad press...
