See that guy up there? That's me, the MP3-loving blogger who ends up getting way more emails than he knows what to do with. While I don't have the time to review and post everything that comes my way, I hate being sent emails without doing
anything with the material someone took the time to send.
So, we have a new series we're kicking off in 2016,
Known Unknowns, a look into my mindstate when I open up promo emails from artists I genuinely don't know anything about.
While I'm not sure what the frequency of this series will be, I plan on doing a few things with it:
- Actually listening to way more new music while
- Giving artists some insight on what a blogger thinks when they open up your email and
- Not holding back with my praise (or disdain) for your track/approach
It's not going to be pretty, but hell, hopefully someone can learn something about the art of sending people your art. There are right ways and wrong ways, and hopefully we can trim the fat and get the right tunes to the right individuals.
This week, we have seven songs for folks to dig into, with my open and honest views on the actual music and how it was sent to me. Welcome to these Known Unknowns.
