Clell Tickle: Indie Marketing Guru. 3 Conversations with Maya Arulpragasam. Partisan Jab. Other Music. The Shittiest Mixtape Ever Contest. Lie Girls. etc. Ever since GooTube, we've been hearing about how online video will propel a new generation of talent to superstardom, but so far it's seemed mostly hype. Tonight, after literally decades of climbing the online video charts, Aziz, Rob, Paul, Jason and Bobbe'J make their MSM debut in MTV's The Human Giant.

That Aziz guy was in the paper this morning. Apparently he is from Columbia, SC. So good luck to him.

I just can't bring myself to admire M.I.A, even though in theory I should find her appealing. Her music is grating, her lyrics stop short of being anything near powerful and her film clips are just annoying.

Sorry.
