Ramblings: Close Encounters of the Rambling Kind

  • Jerry Fuchs, drummer for various indie rock bands such as !!!, Maserati and The Juan McLean died on November 8th after falling down an elevator shaft in Brooklyn, New York. The elevator car he was in had stalled and unsuccessfully attempted to jump to the next floor. The drummer, who had recently performed with MSTRKRFT on The Late Show With David Letterman, was 34 at the time of his death.
  • I have long been a commenter on the comment boards on the blog Idolator. However, Maura Johnston, the writer and editor of Idolator has stepped down from the site - a blog she had edited since its inception three years ago. Also departing is Chris Molanphy, who wrote the column "100 and Single" for the blog. Essentially, 100 and Single was a more in depth and all-encompassing than Indie Point's similar Chart News feature. Thankfully, Molanphy will continue his column on his website, linked here and I will be posting comments there quit a bit. Since Idolator has gone through massive changes in the handful of days since Johnston's departure, I will no longer be commenting on the site, instead I will be migrating to both Molanphy's site and Johnston's next project. I suspect many of Idolator's regular commentors will do the same as well.
  • Update: It seems that a few writers and commentors from Idolator have founded a new Tumblr blog called Chain of Knives. There is some possibility that I might join the "staff" of that blog sometime in the near future. If you want to check it out, click here.

This is Post 1000

It's taken about two years, but here we are, post 1000 of Indie Point Offworld Supply. I have very little to say about the manner, but when I started this blog in late November 2007, I had no clue i'd still be going in November 2009. Thanks to everyone who's read my blog.

In honor of the 1,000th post to this site, I have reverted to the site's original Blogger template, Minima Dark.
