Do you attend fifty concerts a month? Listen to DG 24/7 and have a basement filled with compact discs?

I'm looking for a couple of people to help create some content for this site. Music reviews, band interviews, concert reviews and whatever else strikes our fancy.

If you're interested, send me an email with an example of your work. Thanks!

(this is kinda off-the-wall and not exactly what you were looking for... but what can I say, I was inspired...)


Hey, Orkus magazine has just started publishing an international version (it was originally all in German), including an English variation.

For those unfamiliar, it's http://orkus-mag.com/ and is a high-quality glossy print mag with lots of pictures (mostly b&w) and interviews with goth/industrial/ebm artists, CD reviews, etc etc.

A lot of issues of the original German mag include a compilation CD, with jewelcase and cover art on an extra-thick page you can clip out.  I asked them when the English version was going to start including the compilation discs too, and they replied that it was problematic to include a disc because of copyright concerns.  So I just sort of sighed and forgot about it... until I read this thread!

If you can't find any writers of your own, maybe you could strike a deal with Orkus!  You know, maybe they let you digitally publish SOME of their articles and interviews, and broadcast the songs on their comp CDs.  In exchange for the "content" they'd be providing, you'd be giving them a friggin SWEET advertising channel! (sell a few magazines, eh?)

Anybody who listens to digitalgunfire ought to have heard of Orkus magazine... and vice-versa.  Might as well have some cross-links to help accomplish that!

I'm definitely interested in writing something.

Unfortunatly, I don't have anything to show you... However, I think a  couple of the reviews I posted in the last forum were mine.

I can write inspirationally about music i've heard and enjoy. But I do not attent many concerts on a frequent basis. I used to write technical manuals and developmental material so if I have time and reason I can write something very thorough, beautiuful, poetic and intriguing. Your welcome to call on me anytime you need.

However i did just buy a lot of CDs from the CD sale at metropolis.

De/Vision - Remixed

FLA - Fatalist
FLA - Circuitry
FLA - Comatose

Haujobb - Nintynine Remixes
Haujobb - Penetration

NIN - With Teeth (Dual-5.1)

Wumpscut vs Haujobb - Remix Wars

VNV Nation - Matter + Form


I should vbe abelto write something i like from at least one of these.

What about night club reviews? I know of a couple in Minneapolis, but I can tell you now, that those reviews won't be the most flattering ones... but they'd be reviews none-the-less.
