Ahhh my head just exploded!
Pigeons got drunk and heisted everyone’s songs for his site traffic. You seem like a nice guy–I’m being serious. You should try to find some new music on your own. There are a ton of indie bands that could use your help. That’s what blogging is all about. It doesn’t help to repost mainstream crap that everyone already has. Just some friendly advice. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for calling me a nice guy Ron. If you read P&P you know what it's about. I post plenty of indie bands, plenty of unreleased shit that a lot of people haven't heard. But who are you to say what blogging is about? Because to me, it's definitely not just about posting up music to help indie bands out. That's called free promotion. This post is full of good music. Don't fuck it up for everyone with your bullshit.
Go read my interview with the Welcome Wagon. Check out the new Rosie and Me track. Listen to all the B.o.B. that I get in my inbox. What’s your beef with posting some shit that a lot of people want?
Point taken. It’s your blog, you can do whatever you want to do with it. But promoting songs on your site that other bloggers posted minutes before is pretty lame. I’m just suggesting that you should try to be the first to post songs instead of taking them from other bloggers. Be original and you will gain credibility. Otherwise you will be a follower not a leader. Your blog will last if you post music that you own and believe in. I’m not trying to fuck anything up for you or your audience. It’s friendly advice. I wish you luck.
Stop trying to act like you're trying to help me out man. We both know that's not what you're doing. I try to post original things as often as I can, but it's not easy to get exclusives. I don't know if you have a blog or not but if you do I bet that most of what you have posted is already out on the internet. I devote a lot of energy to finding good music from all kinds of sources and presenting it. These songs may not all be P&P exclusives, but you tell me where you can find Jenny Lewis, Jay-Z, MGMT, Kanye, Chester French, and Asher Roth in one post.
Before I had this blog, this is the kind of place I was looking for. I like Jay-Z. I also like Jenny Lewis. I couldn't find that all in one blog. That's what I love about P&P. I get what you're saying but I disagree with it and it goes against everything I started this for. I hope that some people come here for the new Kanye and end up getting into The Kills. That would make my day.
Great point–people coming for Jay-Z and find out about the Kills. That’s what it’s all about. Believe it or not I am trying to give you friendly advice. I used the wrong tone earlier, I apologize. I’ve surfed blogs for the past couple years and have seen a negative trend with Hype and Elbows. Blogs trying to build audiences and pimp it out to shitty advertisers. But you need to pay for bandwidth and your time.
I do like your blog. Just beat the other guys to the punch. Read obscure hip-hop and indie blogs. I’m no sage, but I’ve been around music for the past 25 years. Again, I do wish you luck. You seem like you work your ass off.

Believe it or not, I appreciate your advice, I’m just trying to defend my spot. I’m still new to this. I try to put together a site that I would like, and I hope other people like it. Can we end this now? Haha if you’d like to continue feel free to email me at Pigeonsandplanes@gmail.com.
dam….. heated!
two random cents: at kickin’ the peanuts, our philosophy is that all music can be good music. we don’t have a favorite genre, and there aren’t any that are particularly more legitimate than others. you can appreciate the genius behind andrew bird’s “mysterious production of eggs”, love you some sufjan, and have been wayyy into vampire weekend before they blew up, and also love rihanna’s new video. indie-elitists are full of shit.
AGHHH!
waht a post. just DL’ed all the joints i didn’t have, mostly the rock joints. i’ll be back to let you know how i feel about these joints. good look.
wait i just read all the comments and copied and pasted this conversation in a word document to make sure i include all this shit into the new blog i'ma throw up in about 3 weeks! OH BOY! haha on some real shit, i hear both sides. i'm a blogger, too. it's hard to be unique, and to get exclusives. especially when you're an average joe like me and you. it's like we are the new age A&R's. we get so much music in our inbox from no namers that suck, but occasionally we come across that gem. problem is, somebody else probably found it two minutes before you did and threw it up. should anybody be upset!? nah. bloggers like me and you are about throwing good music to the masses because it makes us happy to put other people on. music is something to be enjoyed, and in this day and age, with the industry the way it is, artists are rarely giving me something i can jam and feel comfy jamming. they do things in a way that corporations believe will make them sell. dumb shit down. why you think lupe dropped that track!?
are bloggers helping the music industry? definitely. record sales aren't doing a damn thing. it's about shows. i wouldn't go see janelle monae unless i had heard of her. i heard of her from the internet, not the radio or anything like that. and she had a sold out crowd in atlanta that had the same mentality as me. now look at her…she's in GAP commercials. yes, i'm rambling. but in my scattered thoughts, everybody should see what i'm trying to say. bloggers are the new DJ.
OH! and fuck the fact that other people post the same stuff. everybody's audience is unique. you have people that go to your site over nahright.com because they just like it more. it's like a mom and pop store vs. a big ass tower records or best buy. we get to know our customers. those big spots don't even know their consumer's taste, and every time you go in there, there's a different guy working the register.
everybody should ponder that shit real quick.
