And the winner for dumbest quote of the day goes to:

> “80 percent of all records released are just noise — hobbyists. Some companies like TuneCore are betting on the long tail because they get the same $10 whether you sell one copy or 10,000\. Who uses Photobucket and Flickr? Not professional photographers — those are hobbyists, and **those are the people who are using TuneCore and iTunes to clutter the music environment with crap, so that the artists who really are pretty good have more trouble breaking through than they ever did before.”**
