It does get wearisome when folks create a new thread with the word Review when the content is no more than a blatant plug (however worthy, it does not constitute a review!). |

We don't have magazines like "Froots", "Dirty Linen" and other folk acoustic magazines anymore. I welcome hearing about these artists I would have never come to know about otherwise. I will go and have a listen, and I may not care for their music but at least this way I can find out about them. I have sometimes found out about some obscure or not very well Known artists this way and really enjoyed hearing them. Have bought CD's of an artist/band who I came to know from someone mentioning them through a post like this. Sure, I won't care or get into some stuff I hear but on the other hand, I have been amazed by artists who I was not familiar with before. |

06 Jul 20 - 02:31 AM (#4063021) Subject: RE: Review: New Album by duo Rakish From: Reinhard Telling us about new music is more than fine with me. But the poster expecting me to do their homework is another thing. It's the same when someone dumps just a link in the favourite youtube performaces thread, without saying a word about which artist or song it is, why it is the poster's favourite, and why it might be interesting for us. I may be bored enough sometimes to follow such links. But usually I have enough other stuff to do so why should I? |
