Invisible Limb, Invisible? Posted on December 14th, 2006 by Rich Belize

Somewhere out in the cold lifeless desert known as the internet there exists a creature known as the ‘blogosphere’.  It is much like the Megazord, except instead of a robot pteradactyl, t-rex, mastadon, triceratops, and sabretooth tiger, it is made up of a million different blogs.  And within this mega-bologosphere of blogging bloggers there is a growing niche of music blogs who have created a music blogging community of their own.

Recently a lot of these music blogs have been posting their year end lists (best records, singles, mash ups, live shows, etc.) and quite a few of them have even created a category called Best Blogs.  What’s my point?

It is December 14th and Invisible Limb has yet to win a year end blogging award.

Somehow in all of their enthusiasm and excitement over crafting lists and sorting records, these bloggers forgot to include Invisible Limb.  Sure, we may only post once a week and when we do it’s just a quick blurb but we’re really nice people.  Honest.  One of our writers is even a family man.  And a handful of the contributors (that no longer contribute) were 13 years old and in junior high.  Ever heard the saying “The children are the future”?  How can you ignore our future?

And don’t forget about me, Richard.  Old women say I’m handsome and very smart.  That has to count for something in the music blog arena.  Doesn’t it?  What hurts me the most about not being voted for a single award is that besides free promos the only reason I put all my heart and soul into this website is for copious amounts of recognition. 

Where’s the love?
