Part 2 of my conversation with guest Jay Breitling about the evolution of the music blog.
Show notes:
Breitling recently shut down his fine music blog Clicky Clicky
Some band reunions shouldn't happen
A whole new target audience for newer live acts
The kids wanna snap
Some bands can make a living selling merch and playing small live gigs
No time for comics anymore
The inflated price of vinyl
Zines were the music blogs of the '80s and '90s
Kumar: A buddy in Washington state got into punk, started a zine
The convenience of blog software
The blog as reference tool
Our work at Webnoize is mostly gone now
Clicky Clicky lives on via Facebook page
The blog had a hardcore audience
Not in it for the numbers
Cutting through the crap on Twitter
Quality, not quantity of posts
