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!
