Indie Ear Celebrates 100th Blog Posting!!

Friday, April 4, 2008 | 11:38 AM

In February of 2008, IFC re-launched their website which included a brand new music blog, The Independent Ear. A struggling out-of-work VJ (i.e., me) was scooped up off the streets to contribute to this online blog-nificent publication. Right now, you are reading the Indie Ear's 100th blog posting (cue the balloons and confetti falling from the ceiling)!

(left: I plowed through our yearly budget by purchasing these balloons, but it was well worth it! Ain't no party like a 100th Blog Posting Party!)

I promise not to throw another celebration like this until we hit our 500th post. For out 1000th post, I'm already in discussion with the reunited Led Zeppelin to perform live on an episode of Lunchbox. Bloggers who have been at this for a while may see this particular post as an act of laziness to merely reach the century mark (or to reach my blog quota for the day). For all the naysayers out there, I say this, "You are absolutely correct!" I'm as see-through as a pair of black-rimmed glasses without frames.

To all of you who have supported us through our first 100 blogs, thank you for your efforts and have a great weekend! Make sure you check back here for the Final Four results of Indie Ear Madness (even though some of those professional bloggers may hate, they got to respect the "weekend" post). We're working overtime this week to bring you some quality Indie Ear bloggin'!
