ok recently i've stopped updating the site because it hasn't been working but a couple of days ago the problem sorted itself out... i then realised all i had to add to the site were 4 reviews... which isn't too good considering how many reviewers there are. i'm not pinning it all on you lot but considering the site has been going since october there really isn't much content.
so instead of me just giving up and letting feed-back fly away into cyberspace oblivion i propose some changes.
- all reviewers get free promo cds from record companies
- at least 2 reviews a week from each reviewer unless there's a reason, if there isn't a reason i won't take you seriously and just forget about you - hard but fair.
- t shirts for all reviewers who make it past the first 3 weeks of these changes, as a 'thank you' < this will be done this time!!!
- someone other than me to edit reviews, so all reviews get sent to them to be edited then sent to me to be edited one more time and then finally published
- a monthly feed-back zine including the 'best of' to promote the site and for you lot to print out and leave in record shops, gig dives etc.
ok so some of these might not happen and some hopefully will, the last one is a long shot but the first one can actually happen and i want it to. here's what we're going to have to do.
- compile e-mail addresses of all record labels that produce rock bands who want reviewing/exposure
- add loads of content to the site to ensure that we're worthy of receiving promo's
- e-mail the companies requesting promo albums to be sent to us
- party!
maybe i'm having a mid feed-back life crisis but things can't continue. in the word of jetplane landing:
'we need to effect a change, but i'm afraid of what that might bring'
comments? questions?
