Diagram of an Indie Rock Show | Crossing over to Satellite Radio
Borrowing liberally this afternoon from the Modern Age and CYHSY. This post includes the clever and true picture-slash-diagram called "Anatomy of an Indie Rock Concert."
[Click for larger version.]
Its funny for sure. Being the music blogger extraordinaire that I am (cough cough), part of my daily ritual is to peruse the Internets for nuggets such as this. So understand my excitement, surprise and shock to hear Reno, DJ and host on Sirius Radio's "Left of Center" (ch. 26) describe the above picture to a tee without referencing the source!
Am I being a stickler now? Perhaps, but why not give credit where credit is due? Weirdness of hearing blog posts on the radio aside, it struck me very cool that this Reno chick checks the music blogs. Further proves satellite radio's superiority towards terrestrial radio. These people have their fingers on the pulse.
Skeptics may like to know that tonight at 8pm ET Left of Center will be broadcasting a Wolf Parade performance and interview. Clearly, they know their audience.

There is something to be said here about "new media" content (blogs) crossing over into hybrid/traditional media (satellite radio). I'll leave those musings for MS.com contributor, and PRWEEK.com star editor, Keith O'Brien.
It is my pleasure to announce that Keith recently launched his own, long awaited, marketing/PR blog with a heavy focus on youth/alternative culture called Ubiquitous Marketing.

Thanks for the shout-out. I don't intend to slack on my contributions here, once I get far enough from post-launch.
My work on MS.com will focus more on the music, while there I will tackle the message. Whatever that means. Enjoy.
K.
