wtf is "relevancy," anyway? 8

friendship networks play an important part in determining "relevancy," or as teague sez, "you gotta know freaks!" the proliferation of music blogs means that there are more trusted tastemakers out there than there were back in prehistory, when a handful of music rags called the tune and the changes. i have no idea what the millennial brats are looking at; myself, i dig julian cope's head heritage (altho lately his spiel can be so convoluted as to be almost impenetrable at times) and the record reviews on s.f. retailer aquarius records' site. it's pretty much your call, though; one man's "relevancy" is another's "genre music." i've gotta agree with hickey about one thing, though: "artistic honesty" will never go out of style.
