His second album is coming out in September and he is putting a music video together for the song “Fake It”. He wants the video to be as cliche as possible, and he’s listed a whole bunch that he likes on the page.
Anytime Brad Sucks releases anything, it get attention across the web. If you are one of those attention whore types, someone who wants to contribute to the greater good or you’ve always wanted to be in a music video, here’s your opportunity.
Here’s some disclosure: I work at a newspaper in New York City. I work as the podcast producer. By nature of the first statement, my company has been written about in Gawker many times. I have no ill will towards Gawker and most of the people in the office read it to keep up on the revolving door that is the hires and fires in newspapers.
But an article over on Radar made me smile this morning: Gawker Cuts Staff Pay Rate for Second Consecutive Quarter. I feel bad for the people who are receiving the checks over there and have no ill will for the staff of Gawker personally, but perhaps it’s time to rethink the “blogging for dollars” model. This could be signaling that Gawker is in a bit of trouble. First, lotsof peopleleave, and Emily Gould does it in a way that paints Gawker as the worst thing that’s ever happened to her a the New York Times Magazine cover story, titled “Exposed - Blog-Post Confidential“. Then in April, Gawker sells three of the money losing properties. This is all following the first time that Gawker (publicly) altered its pay structure towards being paid for the number of people that visit each story. In my opinion, it’s ruined the content of the site.
I think that Gawker, a media company, is having the same issues that other media companies are having.
