Popdose: Letter from the Editor: Happy Birthday Popdose! | Popdose

  • kshane · 11 months ago
    Let me be the first to congratulate Popdose on the first birthday. As the bard said, "future's so bright, I gotta wear shades." It's been a real joy writing here, and getting to know the rest of the staff. As it now stands, Jeff is the only one I've actually met. I hope we can change that this year. I've learned so much from all of you, and I'd be reading Popdose even if I wasn't writing for it.

    Congratulations to Jeff, Jason, Robert and the whole Popdose crew! You guys consistently set the standard for excellence in blogging. From all your friends over at Ickmusic ... here's to many more years!

    Another thing I would add to the note is a blurb that came our way from a prestigious site endorsing us as not being "a bunch of jaded jag-offs." We like to have fun here. Heck, we love to have fun here, but for every ounce of snark, I believe we offer up a pound of gee-whiz (which is a lot nicer than a pond full of plain ol' whiz.)

    The point is that if we're destined to become the spot on your internet dial that doesn't come off like they hate, and are much too cool for everything, I can live with that.

    Why do I remember our launch date as 01.01.08?
  • jefito · 11 months ago
    Nobody likes a niggler, Ted.
  • Ted · 11 months ago
    Is this better: "Why do I remember our launch date as 01.15.08?"
  • jefito · 11 months ago
    Actually, your first comment was fine. I just like saying "niggler."
  • Ted · 11 months ago
    How 'bout this, then: "Suck it!"
  • jefito · 11 months ago
    I think "Pop Politico: Sundays at midnight" has a nice ring to it...

    Hahahaha!

    Happy Birthday, Popdose!
    I found Jefitoblog thru Jason's site, which I found thru a friend's page, who found him from some accident. I've followed along for a long time and now check this blog every day. I have to say thanks to everyone for the all of the great content here. Please keep it up!
  • DwDunphy · 11 months ago
    And thank you, Dr. C. Tell a friend. In fact, tell twenty of them!

    I didn't think that that the crafty writing on jefitblog could be topped. Popdose has a buttload full of jefitos!

    Thanks for putting out a site whose "gimmick" is just original, quality content. Keep the good shit going.

    A buttload of jefitos. Thanks for the image and for rendering it into the permanent public record. An image now etched into my brain.

    300 years from now the cultural anthropologists will title "The Popdose Chapter" of their "Pop Culture 303" textbook "A Buttload Of 'jefitos'."

    We rule! Congratulations, us, but mostly, Jeff for building quite the team.

    Well, I really wanted to say "fuckload" but my mom might read it.

    Happy birthday and congratulations!
    I stumbled onto this fantastic site not too long ago and have enjoyed it every day since. I am a fan of most types of music even though I consider myself a David Foster fan (try not to hold that against me), which is how I found Terje. From Terje's tireless Fozz posts, I started reading everyone's posts about music to politics to movies and beyond. I love this site and it is truly my favorite spot on the web. I tell others about it all the time. So, thank you Jeff and the other talented and humorous writers that make Popdose so amazing.

    Congrats on the anniversary Jeff. I cottoned onto Jefitoblog a few months before it imploded (naturally), and was thrilled when this site rose from its ashes. I appreciate the opportunity to have contributed an article and hope to be able to share more in the future.
  • David_E · 11 months ago
    Happy Birthday. Here, I got you this:

    (Hands Popdose a box)

    ... It's a digital copy of Melvin James' "The Passenger."

    (Sees Jeff's blank stare)

    It was the last thing you posted -- at my request -- before Jefitoblog went down. Huzzah!

    Well done kids...well done. Keep it up!

  • BobCashill · 11 months ago
    I'd read this site even if I didn't write for it, which is no small thing. Onwards and upwards in year two.

    Ain't nothin' gonna stop us

    Congratulations to the best music site on the Internet.

    I hope you guys keep this thing rolling for a long time!
  • MichaelWSP · 11 months ago
    Congrats kids! May Michael McDonald and Al Jarreau shine upon you in 2009.

    Happy Birthday to Popdose, and a big thanks to Jeff for inviting me to play in the sandbox!
  • CG · 10 months ago
    Happy B'day! As a longtime Jefito lurker, I was thrilled when Popdose finally got up and running. I've loved it, however I have missed your writing Jeff. Here's to year 2!!!
