ya kinda want the music scene to become fertile before pitchfork and fader do a post on them. There is nothing to incentivise that patience tho. Maybe in the next couple years these more popular sites will become the new rolling stones and spins and would have some extra money to start a label themselves. They'd scoop up the thug waffles and soulja boys of the world but allow them enough time to do a proper album before the blog blitz and live show feature.

Bricks and motar businesses allowed for that kind of 'cordoning off' of artists, products, techniques. That might allow for scenes to develop.
