Music:About

OK, for my first revision of the mission statement for this budding and scarcely-read website, I have upped the bar. Instead of just being a site for album reviews, how about creating an interconnecting database of the independent music scene? It could be a resource where you can see how the entire scene is interconnected by finding information not only on particular artists and their albums, but the labels, cities, venues, genres, etc. I am going to do my best to get the initial template put together myself, but this is not a project to be taken on by one person with limited information. It will take a large group of inspired individuals who want to contribute their knowledge to create a large web of music information. Should be interesting to see what comes of it.

As far as the album/artist/label reviews, the point of this is not to overly praise or bash anybody, but to create an informational resource where people can come and try and find the type/style/genre of music that they like or can use for a radio show.

I am going to start by adding most of my reviews from my tenure as WUSC Music Director. Most of them are quick 10 minute write-ups of an album I heard once and are in dire need of revision, so revise away. The only way this can work is if you add and edit, so don't be shy. I know most of you are closet critics anyways, so here is your chance to put that in writing.

If you have any questions/comments, feel free to email me at mpardaiolo11@hotmail.com or aol instant message at mpardaiolo11.
