So, today was kind of a bum day, and to top it off, I get an email from this funny guy:

so I am thinking awesome, some music ‘aggregator’ website added me and I didn’t even have to beg/perform sexual favors/pay money??? awesome, right?

only in dreams for this poor music blogger. I go to the said website and wait for it to load. All I see is a flash music player in the middle of the window with the ugliest color palette I’ve ever seen. I think to myself, fair enough, it’s about the music right? The player starts playing and I begin to wonder to myself, who’s playing? I scan with my mouse to see if there are any clickable dropdown menus, links anything that will tell me who I’m listening to…..NOTHING??? ok, next, pull up the safari activity window to see if there’s a track title associated with the music file….but what??? what’s this I see?? The music files are being streamed from OTHER MUSIC BLOGS!!

Alright, at this point I have so many obscenities running through my mind, but I decide to keep it cool and reply in a very high-level intellectual manner. Here’s how it goes:

sigh

fear not, the night is still young and there is rumor that a new Royal Rumble edit of Soulwax will touchdown right here on TUFTSMANIA in the next hour…AND MORE!

    Lol nice response.

    I got the same e-mail to. Why would I add a site to my website that doesn’t do anything for me…

    those assfucks sent me a letter like that, too. but i just ignored it. now i wish i rattled off a sequence of expletives. oh, regrets. what a bunch of douchebags. they’re treating the blog network like bearshare. they don’t get it.
