This is a fantastic article from a Hypebot series in which indie music sector professionals are asked, "In this fractured media landscape, what is working? What outlets and tools are helping your artists build an audience?" The guys at Asthmatic Kitty give one of the most lucid and positive responses you'll ever read to this kind of question. Not going to summarize here, except to concur with them that the frequent and spectacular failures of "sprinters" should not be distractions to the "marathon runners" -- even asthmatic felines. As Mr Colbert would say, "These guys get it!"

Colbert maximum rock
The inspiration to finally get this blog on the move came this week, courtesy of The Colbert Report. As if any more proof of Stephen's "getting it" were needed, his 80's stalker classic "I'm Right Behind You Now, Charlene" has been available for free at the Rock Band online store for months. On Monday the game version of the song made an appearance on 'Better Know A District', with a freshman congressman managing 24% on guitar to Stephen's 100% on vocals.
