Who wants to help me with a music review site?
 
So I'm probably buying my domain sometime next week, and it's going to be based on underground music. Nothing like Pitchfork, I despise pitchfork media. We need a good indie/ underground review site.

We'll start out with local bands and uncopyrighted stuff (everything on saucerlike recordings), and try to work our way up!

Code:

Looking for:
 -Talented people to review albums / concerts
 -Programmers


I mainly need people to do reviews, I have most of the graphics under control. Extra programmers will be nice as well.

kingcoffee 09.15.2006 10:03 PM

I might give it a shot. I don't know much about programming, but I like music and am able to eloquently and reasonably describe and review it.

HaydenAsche 09.16.2006 12:03 AM

I'm fairly decent with HTML and I'm someone who will be a huge ass when I write review. I'll dismiss bands as utter trash, etc.


I'm doing it.

HaydenAsche 09.16.2006 12:04 AM

AN IDEA: I could write a most disappointing album of the month thing.

Or worst album of the month.

Or something equally rude and undesirable.

finding nobody 09.16.2006 12:11 AM

That would be a fun read Hayden. Espeacially if it was written by you

HaydenAsche 09.16.2006 12:13 AM

I'm putting Joel down as a reference on my application.

Glice 09.16.2006 05:46 AM

I can write something. Tell me what to write. It'll be good. I have experience. Experience, I tell 'ee.

LittlePuppetBoy 09.16.2006 09:05 AM

I can (you know I can)

Inhuman 09.16.2006 09:33 AM

haha, sounds like a great idea hayden. And sounds good Glice, it's review-what-you-want right now because I need reviews on the site and I'm not the greatest at writing. And Eric, you should design some logo's for the site! Your other one was really good! Thanks to you too Kingcoffee! It's going to be like a Sonic Gossip music review site.

So you can all write reviews as long as you're gramatically intelligent!

Thanks

porkmarras 09.16.2006 09:36 AM

Do you accept drunken submissions Inhuman?If i'm on E i can be too kind with albums.

HaydenAsche 09.16.2006 10:55 PM

I'll review that new ROBE album.

Cantankerous 09.16.2006 10:56 PM

ooh we can have an entire staff! i want to be on it kind of just for the sake of being on it

Norma J 09.16.2006 11:22 PM

I'd done some reviews...

Alex's Trip 09.16.2006 11:28 PM

I'd like to contribute somehow. Whats the site name? Maybe I can make a logo.

golden child 09.17.2006 01:07 AM

id like to help, ill write a sissy spacek review... UGH i love that band!

and anyone else who wants to write reviews, ill send you free shit if you review it (good or bad)

Alex's Trip 09.17.2006 01:16 AM

You should contact Ecstatic Peace and try to get free shit once you get started.

racehorse 09.17.2006 09:14 AM

I can write. I'm up for this.
I'll do a review later today maybe and i'll PM you it.

Everyneurotic 09.17.2006 09:53 AM

i'm doing my fanzine at the moment, but i could help out with some writing. if you want to read my writing style, click on the "Oscillator Zine" in my signature.

Inhuman 09.17.2006 12:20 PM

Alright thanks everyone! I'll contact Ecstaticpeace as soon as the website's up, you usually need an existing URL before obtaining any copyrights :(.

I built a layout using a pseudo site name, tell me what you think and give me suggestions.

So for now, if you could all suggest a catchy name for the page (to replace ugcolony) that would be great!

I know I have to fix the Navigation menu, it sucks. I'll get on it ASAP. And for Alex's Trip, I can send you the PSD of the layout, so you can help me fix it up a little (specifically logo and nav menu). Thanks a lot!

Well thanks again, Im'a go check out Everyneurotic's fanzine :)
 

porkmarras 09.17.2006 12:28 PM

I'm definately in Inhuman!

finding nobody 09.17.2006 12:34 PM

That's mighty cool. I might be able to write some reviews for ya

Inhuman 09.17.2006 12:34 PM

Awesome! Can't wait until we get this up and running! I'm sure ecstatic peace will be glad to help us out as well, we can advertise with them too!

And to everyone reviewing, it would be sweet if you could do one on "Melbourne Direct" (New 2xLP by SY and Jim), you can take anything off the Saucerlike Recordings site :)

finding nobody 09.17.2006 12:39 PM

Anyone ever read Mark Prindles reviews? I love them
http://www.markprindle.com/

Alex's Trip 09.17.2006 12:56 PM

To be honest, I'm not a fan of the layout. I was thinking it would be something more along the lines of the Ecstatic Peace site, or the one snake posted.

I won't be able to get anything done soon, maybe I could get a layout done by the end of September. Unless you are final on the one that is already in existance.

Inhuman 09.17.2006 02:02 PM

Alright, there's a lot of stylistic changes that I planned on revising. Nothing's final at this point, we'll try to agree on everything together, that way we have a community-based opinion over just a single perception. Everything's open for idea's at this point!

Thanks for the link Sn@ke! It brought forward a few idea's. I"ll post them up ASAP, probably later tonight or tomorrow-

porkmarras 09.17.2006 02:03 PM

The design should be a little more sparse looking,methinks.But it's not big deal.

Alex's Trip 09.17.2006 02:08 PM

The design makes me think of some heavy-metal site not an underground one.

finding nobody 09.17.2006 02:10 PM

some colors would look nice

I'll sell it to MetalRules.com

Alex's Trip 09.17.2006 02:28 PM

You should. Toss out the Wasp, put in a dragon/monster/something-equally-metal and sell it.

whorefrost 09.17.2006 02:35 PM

count me in

Inhuman 09.17.2006 03:18 PM


I could do something like this. Mind, it takes the color scheme from that one that Sn@ke recommended.
 

Cantankerous 09.17.2006 03:19 PM

that looks like clip art. come on, we can do better than that.

Inhuman 09.17.2006 03:21 PM

Of course it does, I did it up in a few minutes and it's not even done.

porkmarras 09.17.2006 03:22 PM

Now,that's more like it.

Cantankerous 09.17.2006 03:24 PM

yeah but what the fuck is that shit with the leaves and cattails?

porkmarras 09.17.2006 03:26 PM

Shut it Saturnine.Who are you,Marisol?
