My latest survival jam is actually, not so current, I suppose. But I had some guest speakers in the NYU publishing program today. Really smart and great people, but it seems to me that one of them, kind of forgot that he used to be an underdog. And scoffed at any website with less than 1 million monthly uniques, or any small business without big business clout and money, as less relevant. Which is, largely, the problem with publishing. The big companies tend to still think that bland mass ideas will speak to people on a large scale, instead of finding out what people are actually interested in, and seeking to serve those interests. Considering my demographic I should be reading Cosmo and Glamour and Good Housekeeping, but I'd rather die. So instead of dying, I started this magazine. And the Spoon song displayed below makes me believe that Pomp is the underdog, and that we *will* survive.

one of my favorite songs. spoon was also the ultimate survival story for a band.
This is inspiring and funny. People tend to forget they were the underdog if they are suddenly earning large amounts of dough, but they should remember.
I LOVE Spoon!!!! Gaaahh! You did it again!
Where can I send suggestions for survival soundtrack? My band has the perfect song. Perfect I tell you!
