Year-End Edition 2008 v3

The first year of this site was not without controversy and difficulties.  Certainly finding my way through the different host providers before settling on Podbean was no easy task.  Then the layout changes which went through three facelifts before I finally settled on the current look.  Expect that to change again in 2009 (maybe just the colors, but you never know with me).  Then I had the controversy over Beatport discontinuing their association with this site.  Perhaps my initial post got convoluted into two separate thoughts and I should have kept it focused.  Nevertheless, it hasn’t stopped idiots like that nut job Kelly from San Francisco from criticizing the post without actually reading the whole thing.  Then she/he goes onto say that “I’m really gay”…well, duh!  I am not a prejudice person, but I cannot stand “stupid” people.  By that, I mean people that speak out of the side of their mouth and don’t know what the f!@# their talking about.  Actually, my request to boycott Beatport has apparently spread to other venues.  Just run a Google search on “boycott Beatport” and it certainly looks like other people have a legitimate gripe about them as well.  Like I said, once you get to big for your britches, you become cocky. 

Then there was the whole flap from one of my longtime favorite artists, Amber.  Apparently she and her people were Googling her latest track “No More Tears” to see if anyone was sharing it.  Folks, have you ever run a Google search for something, anything…and then you go to the site the search results tell you it’s on, only to find that it’s not?  That’s because Google indexes everything, including the links on your site; meaning that other people’s content that is linked from your site will show up in your results.  Now, had Amber spent a little time on my site, she would have seen that I don’t share individual songs.  In fact, I plainly provide an email address for anyone to communicate with me (as other artists have sent their praise and thanks, though Sean Ensign wanted me to correct the title of his latest…my bad).  Instead, she wrote a very nasty message in my Cbox, which naturally pissed me off.  So, I wrote a very negative review about her release, which in turn drew the ire of all the Amber Anti-Christ’s on DJ Rico’s message board.  After several exchanges and her brother-in-law from Canada trying to have my domain revoked, they emailed an apology for their mistake.  I subsequently changed the review I gave, in which I thought was fair, though I didn’t sing it’s praises.  While I still have a very bad lingering taste in my mouth from the whole incident, I am still a HUGE fan of Amber and hope that future releases from her will be worthy of my support.  Of course, I’ll ask permission before using any of those releases in a mix.

Whoever said running a blog was easy is full of cow dung.  It’s a lot of work for sure.  Nevertheless, I enjoy it despite the countless hours trying to learn HTML so I could have things exactly as I wanted.  Trust me, if you’re an obsessive-compulsive or anal retentive like me, and you are not schooled in web design or code, you might want to consider something else…LOL.  Oh well, you live you learn and then move on from there. 

Enjoy!
