Speaking of writers...BigYawn.net could probably use a dedicated new writer or two, capable of spitting out two or so reviews per month. Those seriously interested please feel free to e-mail me at eric@bigyawn.net
 
 Our opening qualification is that you can't be a prick like most Pitchfork writers, just so you know.

Actually, you're the reason I added that line. Besides, we need reviews written about good music. Not sure your tastes (Waterboys, cough, cough) really cut it.

I would pay money to see a published review of Exit Clov's album authored by Mankiie.

He just hates the name. I'm sure the review would be better than you think. If only they had an album to review...

HUH! What's the point in reviewing it if it's all good...isn't that the whole point of reviews???
 
 Here's a challenge for you...send me any cd you want and I'll do a review on it for bigyawn........do you have the kahuna's to accept the challenge?

It's pretty easy if your into that kinda thing.Plus,it's a great way to bolster your cd collection,time consuming though.Although for most on this board i figure it would be a labor of love.                                              Hint:keep a thesaurus handy while writing,helps tremendously.

Allow me to correct myself...we need reviews written about music that we anticipate might be good, by bands we know to put out good music, with a sound we think has a good chance to be good. Your taste in music makes me think at least half of your CD collection doesn't fit that mold. Which means your reviews might speak highly of shit, while giving no respect to the good stuff.

Not at all, each to their own...although I do now own an Exit Clov cd, which I can give a mini-review.....
