Pitchfork writers needed
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.

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

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?
Originally posted by god's shoeshine: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.

Originally posted by redsock: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.

"Singers with voices of angels singing lame lyrics accompanied by very sub-par musicians. A band at the pinnacle of very mediocre careers."

You've spent far too long in America. Your review should have read…
I drank a pint while listening to this. I preferred the pint.

That's what the mancunian in me wanted to write….I was just trying to be more diplomatic for Redsock.
Either you have a stereo in your bathroom or you walk around with headphones on all day.
