Just as long as there is some buzz going on, it's going to keep you in the spotlight. Trent Reznor is getting pretty good at this, and I mean that as a compliment to him. He says he's got some secret things going on and we're all up in it without a single clue as to what it is. Reminds me of the old quote, “No such thing as bad publicity”.

Chickens and eggs, like the man said. So, NYU 'research' really got to the bottom of an important, unsolvable issue with the conclusion: "It's hard to say."

Myspace is very informal, and you can have 2000000000000 friends, and have 1,99999999999999 of them never even listen to your band. If someone is reading a blog, they are engaged, thus have to take in the message, whether they choose to act on it or not. Also people tend to have a motivation to check out bands being blogged about, either to talk about why they like it, or more commonly, give them some fuel for bashing!!!
