| What’s in store for a quiet revolution in 2007 | |
Some specifics coming between the 2nd and 14th include:
In general here’s what’s planned:
More music
Local and otherwise. had some issues with file names for local music that made it tricky to find stuff, hopefully that is all worked out and more local music can be shared here. Also plan to include more music period in posts in the New Year.
As part of this watch for the first, and then regular Halifax/EC scenecasts.
More Local News/Content
Pretty straight forward. Want to help with this, send any news or online sightings of locals to info (at) aquietrevolution.com
More Local Profiles
Bands/music are covered above, this will look at the folks that provide bands places to play, set up shows, cover the scene and so forth. Too many good people there to consider to even try and list a few off the top of my head now.
Defining a quiet revolution
The whole point of this site is to promote, support and ideally help develop the local music community as well as the independent scene at large. There’s particular points that make this worth doing and serve as the motivation for the site and it’s name and they’ll be explored in the New Year
Introduction of a couple regular features
Something that will be called BOP!; an as yet unnamed feature that will bring in some outsiders for their POV while also introducing them to readers [this should be pretty good];
An Argument for Free Music
Pretty self explanatory - I’ll be looking for examples, role models, facts, quotes and anything else I can find to build a case supporting the giving away of your music.
Repossessed Zine Content
I tried getting a local zine going previously, and while talks have taken place regarding the return of a print zine lots of material has been collected that will be used on here starting in the New Year
More contributors?
We’ll see - hope to have a few guest contributions at minimum
Have a happy and safe New Year’s!!!!!!!!!!!

< ![CDATA[Excellent to see someone taking this sort of initiative to give our homegrown talent some exposure. The Canadian indie music scene is an infectious lump of pride the majors will soon find themselves swallowing with promotional tools like the internet. I also love the fact that the CBC Radio 3 podcast is one of the top downloaded out there. Keep the content coming, you've got pals in wintery Manitoba!]]>
< ![CDATA[Thanks for the kind words. The whole Radio3 site is great now - quite enjoying the new look and features.
And speaking of looks, your site is one of the most unique/sharpest looking word press sites I've seen. Very nice.]]>
