Writers Wanted

[redsock]

You can never have enough good writers. And BigYawn needs more of them. If you have an interest in writing about music, specifically CD reviews -- with an open opportunity for more than that, and feel you can coherently get your thoughts across in words, we might have a position for you. We would require a minimum of 3 reviews a month. Please check out our  site, excuse the summer cobwebs, and if you're interested, or have any questions, feel free to contact me at eric@bigyawn.net.

Do you pay by the piece or by the word?

mankie could write a column, "the grumpy old man hates new cds"
 
   maybe not so informative, but probably highly entertaining!

...probably more interesting reading than a review giving 8.5 zzzzz's to a band whose members will be working in a guitar shop within 5 years.

That's not really a fair statement - even though I realize you just couldn't restrain yourself from attacking Rhett.
 
 Any or all of these are just as likely to be seen in the guitar shop:
 
 "les savy fav
 sonic youth
 blonde redhead
 walkmen
 modest mouse
 gbv"

I doubt gbv, because I would imagine any guitar shop would want someone with guitar experience working in their establishment.

With their photogenic lead singer and radio-friendly hooks, the Old 97's were one of alt-country's best hopes to make the big time. But their best-selling album, 1999's Fight Songs, sold only 94,000 copies in the United States â?? a failure by major-label standards.

the point was bands i like could be covered by that statement, as well as bands he likes. i think that's fair. and bob plays guitar, drums and bass, mank. he just can't remember the words and cords to 60 songs a night while drunk
 
 and i didn't mean to imply that the dbt or old 97s have never put out a 8.5 worthy disc. in fact, i like both. dbt more
