A couple days ago, I received an email and wrote about it here.

Well my friend over at HIPSTERRUNOFF got the same email, and so did earwigsandwax

Apparently we all share the same idea. There’s also a discussion going on over at Elbo.ws and it seems as though the qerio guys, along with their request to ‘link to us’, are now openly disclosing the fact that they will leech bandwidth directly from said sites.

I might not have been so bitter had they disclosed the same information to me instead of going, “Hey, you are a chosen website, link back to us.”

Is this a new form of marketing? Piss off enough music blogs to create buzz? holy shit am I being controlled like a puppet?

EDIT: OHMY GODDD I FORGOT TO MENTION. i can now die happy because i’ve been blogged about on hipsterrunoff
1/1 life goals complete.
