Idolator Live Blogs the [Incredibly Tedious] Congressional Hip Hop Hearings

Jess Harvell is live blogging the Congressional hip hop hearings.  I checked in around 12:30 or so and couldn't get sound out of the video webcast but Jess's account gives me a strong sense of gladness not to be watching that little screen.

Some excerpts:

10:29 a.m. The first 20 minutes of this thing have been one long, vigorous handjob for Bobby Rush from one Representative after another for being such a brave soul. Is this how these things normally go?

10:53 a.m. When I die, I will be forced to take notes on a congressional hearing where the opening statements never end. I just told Maura that if she hears my head hit the keyboard to come over and kick me a few times.

12:12 p.m. MTV's "stuff as much incomprehensible motion into three-hours as we possibly can" at the VMA's now makes a lot more sense, at least from a live-blogging perspective.

It sounds like a tedious show.  Maybe Jay Smooth was right but mostly because this is so boring that no one will care.

But there is a revealing note about music industry execs:

12:25 p.m. Man, all these m[deleted]s are so hot to distance themselves from their hip-hop content/product or otherwise play it down that it's kind of shocking.

I guess ol' Jess is stuck in front of that monitor for the rest of the day.  That's what you get for making those kinds of programming decisions!

It's really pretty today in Raleigh.  Sunny and a relatively mild temperature.  Think I'll go for a little walk while Jess keeps track of those hearings for us.

Update:
Here's the NY Times version.
