Kina Grannis got a touch of blogebrity because of a song that she recently penned about Digg (lyrics after the jump). You should be able to find that particular video somewhere, but I wanted to show you this one because Kina really does have quite a bit of talent in her own right. It just goes to show that the new web isn’t just a conversation, it’s a platform.

If not for new distribution channels like MySpace, YouTube and in a more general sense blogs, artists like her would have few if any venues to take their careers from the local level. Aspiring artists make note, the web has a world of distribution channels for you to tap. You owe it to yourself to try.


Digg It

When I’m feeling lazy, at school or when I work
I sneak to my computer, and then I like to shirk
I don’t go online shopping, I don’t email with my mom
I open up my browser, and go to digg-dot-com

Chorus: Gotta digg, gotta digg, gotta digg
Gotta make this story big!
Did you hear that awful sound?
Another server’s down!

I always dig up Apple, and I bury Microsoft
But when I said I was a girl, all the diggers scoffed
And when I see those stories about Senator Ron Paul
I don’t even RTFA; I just digg them all!

Chorus: Gotta digg, gotta digg, gotta digg
Gotta make this story big!
Did you hear that awful sound?
Another server’s down!

The fanboys can be tiresome, they always are outspoken
And if you’re listening Kevin Rose, the comment system’s broken!
I know digg isn’t perfect, but be thankful for what we’ve got
It’s just like daddy always says: “At least it’s not Slashdot!!!”
Chorus: Gotta digg, gotta digg, gotta digg
Gotta make this story big!
Did you hear that awful sound?
Another server’s down!
