> As for “attention whore,” that’s the inevitable result of file sharing (something I predicted when Napster first appeared). It’s the main way for anyone to find out about your music, and if you don’t constantly self-promote, you lose. If you don’t like it – remember that’s the price you chose to pay.

‘s funny, I have no idea what _any_ of my favourite female musicians’ tits look like (and female musicians make up easily 75% of what I listen to) and I find out about their music just fine. There’s _attention_ whoring and then there’s attention _whoring_.  
And before anyone chips in, this isn’t slut shaming, I’m fine with sluts. I’m talking about the stuff I mentioned in my first post as well.

I won’t open her blog while I am at work, as my experience indicates it may be against our internet policy. If she agrees with my opinions, it demonstrates that she is a remarkably insightful, intelligent and reasonable woman.
