As far as the "shameless self promotions" angle, restricting the reviews to official releases might help. Hopefully we wouldn't have to put together a group of reviewers to start, but one would form itself based on the frequency of posts. An online version of the "Shinding" or "Ugly Things" reviews section is a great way to think of it.

Sounds cool but who's reviewing who? I've seen something like this before and it ended as a self promotion page for every band on the planet.

If what you propose is a small group reviewing all thats new then that is a fantastic idea. One place to go to get the heads up, like an online copy of "Shindig" (Hope Mojo Mills doesn't find out- he he) :-)

I was discussing the possibility of starting a "Reviews/Reviewers" group here with Kopper recently. Apparently, I'm the only one who's brought it up in some time. But, it seems with all the music fans, podcasters, Djs, bloggers, etc... there would be some interest in having a go-to group here at the Hideout where members could read about new albums, singles, films, and books. Wha da ya think? Anyone like the idea? Anyone willing/eager to contribute?

Ah, I see... Good point. I think the only person that might be able to clear any of this up for us would be JackieRoman.

Maybe some of those UK bands can come over to the West Coast... (hint hint)

Two and a half weeks, one reply (thanks Smashman), I'll take that as "no interest" then. Meanwhile I've uploaded 11 songs to my profile, so you can hear what it might have sounded like.
