In an effort to remove SPAM from these lists (of which I've been a major
culprit), I opted to create a 313 station on mp3.com. I know it's sort of
presumptuous since I'm not actually from Detroit. I did live in Ann Arbor
for a while when I was a kid if that counts ;), but I think it's a needed
step to compliment the TechKnow list, and get 313 and TechKnow under control
so we don't have to sift through 100+ emails/day. Although it's been rather
calm lately, I don't anticipate it will remain that way. Work smarter, not
harder, right?

So... if any producers on these lists would like to submit their mp3.com
member page names to me, and a list of tracks you would like to have
broadcast at the station, please email me that information. I figure with
the response to Redux, and the number of "listen to my tracks" emails I get
every day, this should be a hit. Not to mention how many of us are looking
for good new music online while we toil at the 9-5. Hopefully this will make
life a little easier on both of those accounts, and possibly get us some
much needed promotion.

At the moment, I'm not going to restrict people off-list from submitting
material to me, but if it gets too big I may impose this standard at a later
date. Wishful thinking, eh? All material must be in the spirit of these
lists though. Hopefully we all know what that means without being too strict
or too loose with our defintions. The idea is, if you produce drum n bass, I
probably wouldn't post the track unless it had a uniquely Detroit feel to
it. Make sense? I think it's not so much what you make as the spirit in
which you make it, so we'll go that route. The basic standard is going to
be, do I think most people on this list would think it fits the broadly
defined mold? If so, then I'll post it. I'm not going to be a tyrant.

As I will be reviewing compositions for content, I may from time-to-time
post reviews of new material submitted for the station. Let me know what you
think of this idea one way or the other, or pay "us" a visit at
http://www.mp3.com/stations/313 I say pay "us" a visit, b/c I'm the only one
on there right now. ;) Hopefully that will change soon. It's not my intent
to prevent people from sharing their new music directly with the list, but
hopefully to limit the volume of "I posted revision #7 of the track I made
yesterday". I do this as much to prevent myself from these annoyances as
everyone else. Let's see what happens!
