THE MFM MANIFESTO/
For those of you who are familiar with Music Fan’s Mic, you might know that we have a consistent likelihood, maybe even a huge reputation for great things.If you’re not quite an acquaitance of the blog yet, we have just moved from blogger to wordpress, hence the NEW MANIFESTO.
So yeah, we’ve made the move. Take a look at our old face, that’s right, one good look, and…it’s gone. We decided to go under the knife, get some new friends, lose some in the process and start afresh. Wordpress gives us more freedom and gives me less hassle with the DMCA unable to delete our posts without actually asking.
But starting afresh means getting some new ideas. And here they are:
- No more stacking – we did it for a while, it was fun while it lasted but we came out of it feeling grubby and seedy. From now on, only single track reviews with nice judgemental percentage ratings. That’s much nicer…
- RANKINGS – We want this to turn into something big. Usually come December there’s this huge fuss, sole devotion to one single task: end of year lists. But we didn’t particularly like deciding everything at the last minute. So see that sidebar to your right? There’s the MFM rankings where we put every album we’ve reviewed and any other big, notable releases in order of just how good they are. Each week the ranking will change, with (+1) or (-1) indicating how far up or down each album has gone since last week. Come the end of the year we’ll give a final assessment as to which album is best and the victor will get hugs and kisses for being so great. If there’s any releases that are already out and need ranking, just click on the email link which is also there in that nifty little sidebar.
- THE LOOK – at the moment things aren’t completely in place. The logo at the top might get changed and a couple of things just look WRONG. If you’d like to contribute to making things a little glossier, email us or comment here and we’ll work from there on!
- THE WRITING – MFM is always and I mean, always looking for new writers with new opinions to give. All we require is some basic English skills and a genuine passion. So don’t be scared, get on board.
- YOU – From now on before you sample the tracks (that’s the stage before you go out and buy the stuff you love), if you could preview them over at hypemachine, we’d love you long time.
Most of all we’d love you to add your opinion, so comment below each post when appropriate. Praise us, insult us, threaten us, we don’t mind, that’s all part of sharing an opinion.
That was more of an instructions/guide than a manifesto but never mind, things all fall into place, like Stalin’s five-year-plan. This is sort of ours. And if you read that all then here’s a reward.
