good pitchfork piece on popular musicians who blog. the stuff about moby's cloying earnestness is spot-on and the "wrathful durst" bit made a close friend shoot a snot rocket.

The weird surprise with artist blogs is that so few of them are surprising at all-- apart from those seemingly highbrow musicians who turn out to be terrible writers, most of them relate to their audiences the same way they do on record.

(thanks, sattler.)
