For me, it's all about the music and the product, the best way for fans to access the music. I don't think the best way is for people to sit on one page all day. In the time they take to check that or load that, they can be finding music by scouring blogs, myspace, youtube; emailing friends; reading CMJ, NME, music periodicals, etc. Hype Machine's absolutely great, but if it's not available, there are stacks of other places to look. What I'm saying is that some other blogs might not have the same opinion, that money might factor more highly for them. I'm not against ads, just weary of the possible effect to integrity. I've taken in forty dollars from--and spent probably a few hundred dollars on--this blog since I started it. (If you'd like further transparency, I can itemize.) It's definitely not all about the money. If it were, I'd be a horrible businessman. No, that’s not what I’m saying at all.
