Is Yahoo! Music's Stealth Blog PR or Un PR?

Did you know that Yahoo! Music has quietly launched a blog? Me either. How come Jeremy Zawodny hasn't mentioned it yet? Maybe it's because the blog doesn't know if it's official or unofficial.

In his initial post, dated November 27, Ian C Rogers from Yahoo Music wrote...

“While the folks posting at YMusicBlog.com are Yahoo! employees, this is not an 'official' Yahoo! site. We’re posting here because we’re passionate about what we do for a living, want to communicate about it, and blogging makes it very easy for us to do so. We hope to inject our personalities into this site and as such would like to remind/warn you that each of the posts are the thoughts of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Yahoo!, Inc (aka The Mothership).”

OK, that would be cool, except that the Mother Ship is saying you belong to them, Roger. They're linking to you from the PR site. Which is it? Can they be both?
