May I have ten thousand marbles please?

Here’s an interesting video (pops).

It’s about the impact that YouTube-posted videos have on the music industry — it makes obscure songs popular and results in sales! Oh noes! I can tell you that the “History of Dance” video has resulted in some record sales b/c I went over to iTunes after about my fifth listen to buy a copy of “Cotton-Eye Joe” just to get it out of my head. Hawk hates that song. Heh heh. Anyway, I also learned that Weezer (and we are a pro-Weezer house, Hawk especially) is on Universal’s label, which might explain why Holden wasn’t part of the “Pork & Beans” video, which is chock-full of awesome. In fact, I might run over and buy a copy of that album later today. It depends. As much as I try to spurn UMG, I like the music. *shrug*

BTW: The dude who runs the blog featured our video today.

So anyway…

Apparently the Warner Music Has Gone Nuts turn of events in recent weeks is really getting people to sit up and take notice (and scaring/angering a lot of them as well). As I said when I decided to file my lawsuit, this will happen and happen and happen until someone stands up to the record companies and says, “We’ve done nothing wrong.”

That foot is me.
