I registered sittingovation with the intention of writing a blog. I felt the need to join the already over-saturated blogging community and force my ill-informed, sarcastic and often particularly hate-fuelled opinions on to those one or two visitors (sorry… page-impressions) a decade who might stumble upon the site looking for something they’re unlikely to find.
It’s still a blog. Yes well done, you’ve deduced that much Sherlock. Good work. But instead of being a badly informed pessemistic complainey-voiced boring view on things like the weather being crap in th UK, the latest bell-end-techniques for recycling, crappy world-views, snore-worthy politics or what my cat is doing every 3 seconds, I decided that I might be better-placed to provide a semi-positive outlook on emerging music producers.
I’m in to music (who isn’t these days eh. Music… what’s that all about!) and as well as helping me increase my street-cred, allowing me to get “down with the kids” (yeah, you heard me. That’s what they say these days grandpa!) it should also serve as (here comes the clincher…) “a fantastic platform for emerging talent on the internet, bringing music to new audiences and allowing…” actually – you can pretty much make the rest up it’s all bollocks really.
So here I am, pondering the infinite possibilities for pushing this whole thing forward. To begin with I expect I’ll just surf around MySpace, music forums and amateur websites looking for producers who are ‘good’, but don’t seem to see much hype or success as of yet. In the long-run this could turn in to a nice resource for those wishing to find some new dubstep, nicely categorised in to spiffy genres, tagged with similar tracks, and more or less just awesome for the most part.
Right now it could go either way, but I suppose it’s really down to me to source the good stuff. Once I’ve done the hard work, all you lot can come and post wanky comments on the posts about how you don’t agree with my tenuous references and mis-information. In fact, I’m quite looking forward to the whole thing. If it helps some producers get noticed, then so be it!
So I best push on with this, and see if we can’t make a go of the whole thing.
