I’d like to introduce you to The Duty (“…I hope I’m pronouncing that right”), a blogger I met through Twitter friends.
He’s rude and inappropriate and spends far, far too much time on the interweaveswebtubesnet but we get the benefit because his blog is a never-ending stream of diverting images and video, much of it of the hard to find music variety. He’s basically a new rocknroll guy (but you put your own label on his choices and I’m betting he has a hard time describing it in a word or three) and the music is hit or miss with me, but AT LEAST IT’S NOT THE SAME OLD SHIT. Meanwhile, his commentary and odd visual images and ironic/hipster/scatalogical captions are diverting enough and often enough that it’s at least daily for me to check in on him.
I think I actually once saw the guy at the Red Cup, but didn’t recognize him in time to speak to him. He runs around with a bunch of my friends that I don’t see much anymore — Yes, Eric Dawson, we’re all looking at you — and some others I do, like JD Merryweather, who is just f*ing tearing up this town with his new microbrewery — COOP — on his way to New Social Media Maven of the 21st Century AND BEYOND! first runner up.
