Small Indie Label thinks I'm a Journalist

The deception pays off
A lot of strange things happen when polling referral URLs. You see who comes to your blog and from where. You see familiar addresses, unfamiliar addresses, the occasional zany search string.
Example: recently I found out that if someone were to Google Dave Chapelle and GZA, my blog is number three with a bullet, right after some place that hocks ringtones.
Today came a surprise of an entirely different order. I clicked a referral link I didn't recognize and got this, an excerpt from an old roadtrip rundown that Imputor records maybe thought was an actual work of journalism. Suckers.
Maybe they just needed more positive words about a good album.
Either way, it's nice to see myself somehow with the word press.
I leave soon for the airport, and will be back soon amongst thee.

That's pretty cool. Now that you're sort of a journalist, you should print yourself up some press passes and see where they can take you. Back stage at a show, the White House Briefing Room, etc.

Who'd a thunk that readin' so much could lead to writin' so much.
But that's great. Apropo Mike's suggestion, re-rent Almost Famous and study how to stammer naively and get groupies to gang-teach you, uh, stuff. You can never get enough learnin'.
hey! d from imputor? records here.
I knew you wern't a journalist !
i just thought you had a well written/constructed review of the vells record - so that's as good as any magazine press anyway - most of the times people who write about music don't seem to have listened to it!
appreciated...

Darrin,
Thanks for the nice words, and for putting out a nice album.
I'll have to check out your other bands.
I mean, "apropos". See, when I gets too wordy I gets me in trouble. I was going to say "I'm that typo guy" but that's ridiculous so I won't stoop.
Luke, there is a San Diego band at imputor? too but I am not familiar with them.
Which band was it Don?
Great question Luke! I went back to imputor? to find out, and it turns out that MANY of them are San Diego grown. Here's why:
"The Snodgrass
Jordan Snodgrass is a San Diego native, imputor? co-founder, disgruntled ex-indie rocker, and gratuate of UCSD with a degree in cognitive science with specialization in computation."
Looks like they moved up to Seattle 4 or 5 years ago.
Went to my school down here - long after I did, I'm sure.

hey! jordan from imputor? here. looks like we're playing webstats referrer tag. hehe
actually i'm still in san diego, and imputor? is still in full SD operation as a bi-city label (sd/seattle). we just put out SD's aspects of physics' second record, and have releases coming soon from other SD people: el poeta, as well as myself. check us out every tuesday at the whistlestop. www.friendschill.com
Score! That's great, I looked at your site, I know exactly where your happenings are. Now I have to finesse my way out of the house some night and get my ass down there to see you all. thanks Jordan
