Justin Griskoff---founder of one of the biggest music blogs, Indie Shuffle, which recently released a highly praised iPhone app---talks about his music habits and tastes.
How your perspective changed from someone who was originally just sharing something they liked, to thinking about it from a content-generating sort-of way? Has that changed the music listening for you?
Now we think about it as a business. But if I went back 2 years ago, there was a specific point, there was a point where I decided to diversify my taste. Not necessarily because I wanted to listen to a bunch of different genres. It just seemed that, as a music blog, while putting up one or two posts a day at the time, we couldn't keep doing the same indie pop.
I thought, "Alright, I need some hip hop, I need some dub step, I need some house…" I have to get a bit of variety in there. So… where was I going with that? So that sort of changed my taste in music. I used to be an avid album listener, and now I don't ever listen to albums.
