Mix dubstep (dance the bamboo forest away))'s (the double parenthesis is deliberate) review was updated, because the artist was kind enough to indicate that contrary to what was suggested in the review, he/she didn't write any of the musical elements featured on this release. I hope any of the right owners are ok with the free license applied to the final result, and that someday full credits will be indicated somewhere.
I am considering seriously putting online a few more categories for this blog, and there's a possibility for the top menu to grow someday almost twice as big as before. Remember that through the 'Subscribe' page of this blog, you are given the ability to subscribe only to the categories you actually want to hear about.
A first planned category, the name is still unsure but should be 'Your own recordings', will be about band members writing about one of their releases. This category is open to any musician wishing to participate, but for now I am the only one and the first posts will be for sure about my own stuff. The first one is already written.
Another planned category, the name being 'More reviews', will be once again recordings' reviews, but for the kind of records that wouldn't fit in the main 'Reviews' category of this blog. Limit is blurred between the 'Reviews' and the 'More reviews' category, but as examples, Suicide's self titled is the kind of review that would be classified 'More reviews', and Panda Kid 'Scary Monster Juice' would fit better into 'Reviews'. You got me ?
A third planned category should be 'Gig reviews' and the name describes it pretty much well.
For people browsing this blog on a computer rather than on a smartphone/so on, and therefore being able to see the right column menu, it will be updated to navigate among these three new categories exactly the way people can already do into the 'Review' category. It will be different sections of the menu, to allow you to get exactly what you want, being Gig reviews, reviews, or whatever else.
It is also planned that our 'News' category gets sub-categorised as the 'Review' one already is, for the audience to be able to locate news about a particular band, style or whatever.
Also, since I run a webradio that plays many of the releases that got featured on this blog, a 'Webradio' page pointing to it should be put online too. This webradio, that was unmaintained for the previous 6 month (about), I worked a bit on it yesterday and added many new releases to the playlist, and starting from now it is maintained once again. If you want more information please refer to the radio blog where an announcement has been posted telling why and how changes were made in this project recently.
And, another thing, you should be able to donate money to this blog's maintainer, that's to say me, Shangri-l, very quickly, through Flattr.
Finally, I would like to say that I would be happy to put an 'Interview' category online. If as a musician you are ok to invest some time reading, and maybe responding to, some silly questions I would have written, please fell free to contact me at shangri-l@hotmail.fr .
