For a new press agent. Your job will be to keep David's Secret Blog secret. All of the regular commenters would seem, ipso facto, to be qualified for the job. Please apply in the comments.
Clearly I am the most qualified, having kept my weblog secret for years (in fact, I have three, that's how secret I keep them). Plus, by being the first to subscribe via Bloglines, I have so tainted that that no one else will be subscribing.
When it comes to firing the imaginations and igniting the darkest passions of red-blooded bloggers, there are few things to compare with a tantalising air of mystery, and the promise of forbidden fruit.
Look at me, but not too close, David’s Secret Blog seems to whisper. Or perhaps, You can look, but you can’t touch, which has been the teasing refrain of all the great sirens and courtesans in history, from Cleopatra through Mata Hari to the 'virginal' Britney Spears.
And perhaps it is to music that we must turn to truly understand the intoxicating appeal of this new blog’s coy approach. In his successful career as a guest host at Brothers Judd, David was always the pneumatic Jane Birkin to Orrin’s grizzled Serge Gainsbourg. And in that couple’s notorious erotically-charged duet lies the essence of the Secret Blog: Je t’aime, moi non plus (I love you, me neither).
The prospect is daunting, and not for the faint-hearted or easily shocked, but those who are prepared to venture into the dark alleyways of the blogosphere’s sensual underbelly, and to peel away the seven veils with which David guards his treasures, might just find that their deepest blogging desires are but a click away.
In the commnet Brit points to, "Lou" points out that pop music leads to sideways baseball cap wearing. Sideways? I agree that that would be perverse, but who in the world wears their baseball cap sideways?

Too late, I just told all my friends about you. If you aren't famous already, you will be in a minute or so.

How much does it pay?
OT, but surely someone is sock-puppeting Lou Gots here.
It's getting way beyond parody.
‘I’M SHY’, INSISTS NUBILE NEW BLOGGER DAVID, 19

Black musicians, of course.
Who do you think Lou's 'folk enemies' are?
