OK guys, I have a suggestion: vote yay or nay

[JayKeeley]

An experiment....

First of all, I'm going to unstick the RC must have list and NY/NJ shows threads. We can search for them as and when right?

Here's what I'm suggesting, and it includes every RC regular:

Each week, three of us will take turns in starting a thread on a new band recommendation. Actually, it doesn't have to be a new band, just a band you like and think more people should check them out.

If possible, include a URL, a yousendit sample, and a brief description as to why you think the band should be checked out.

I'll STICK those 3 threads for 7 days, afterwhich they will be unstuck and replaced by the next trio of RC regular recommendations.

We can start a roster and just cycle through it. If you don't have anything to recommend, we can skip to the next person in the roster cycle.

From what I understand, some of us attempt to do this but the threads go ignored or buried in spam bullshit threads, so this way I'll stick them and we can all check out "The Band of the Week", etc.

I think this is the proper use of sticking threads.

Vote.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I think every single thread I start should be stickied, but that's just me.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Yeah.

 

[Reign in Acai]

I love the idea. And can you fill every roster spot with doomcifer's name?

 

[lizard]

I'll have to be left off the "roster" cause if I upload to yousendshit I get flagged by the intarweb nazis

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

That's cool liz, since you don't really listen to music anyway.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Put me last... No one likes aac. files

 

[lizard]

well its pretty clear I'm the pinkest of the royal pinkagers

 

[spikes77]

sounds good.

 

[JayKeeley]

OK so far so good, 5 votes for yes.

Now we need a roster. First of all, let's make a list of all the regulars here:

NAD (top of the list, haha, leading the UM airwaves)
Doomcifer (king of recommendations)
JK
Gugs
J
Nate
lurch
Ellestin
Spikes77
Reign in Acai
Tranquillian
Dick Sirloin
General Zod
Dark One
Erik
Footbalm
Moose
MFJ
Demilich
Demonspell
Russell

I'm missing some...blame it on old age, but someone else list names of those not in the list.

Doesn't have to be any strict order, but it's cool if everyone can be involved.

 

[Reign in Acai]

A rule should be in place where the band can't be universally known. For Example... If Joe's band of the week is Burzum. It would take the spot of giving an unknown band exposure.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

You're missing:

Conspicuously Absent (the artist formerly known as Iconoclastic Tendencies)
IOfTheStorm (also good for reco's)
Dev
dill_the_devil
birkenau (though he can put his head in an oven for all I care)
M.Lehto
crimson_velvet
Krigloch the Furious
circus brimstone
regimental (hopefully Joe becomes a regular, since he knows quite a bit about BM)

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Can I change my vote to 'nay?'

In retrospect, this kind of idea is going to cost me more money.

 

[JayKeeley]

I'll have to be left off the "roster" cause if I upload to yousendshit I get flagged by the intarweb nazis

Well I left you off but don't exclude yourself just because of yousendit nazis. Although, if the band has samples on their website, that always helps.

 

[lurch70]

how can you forget Maren?

you guys better be ready for some non metal recomendations from me

 

[General Zod]

I like the idea.

Zod

Jeez, I must have had a brain fart. Thanks Mark.

Haha, this is a big roster. We'll have to work with 3 threads each week, e.g.:

week 1: lurch, Zod, IoftheStorm
week 2: Krigloch, Erik, J

etc

 

[JayKeeley]

how can you forget Maren?

Is that snow2fall? Yeah, sorry about that. Once we've got everyone, I'll randomly pick three people per grouping to start the roster.

Absolutely. There are people yet to hear any Angra.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

You're also missing:

snow2fall
Chromatose
En Vind na Sorg (or whatever it is)
cthulunagen (or whatever it is)

That's all I can think of.

true. okay...include me. You guys need some culture around here
let's say, tho, that if you don't really have anyone to nominate, you can just "pass" to the next person on the list.
