What’s in store for a quiet revolution in 2007
Posted in Sounds Local on 12.31.06 15:03

Some specifics coming between the 2nd and 14th include:

  • A look at the story of the year in music for 2006
  • Prediction of 2007’s story of the year
  • A quick review of bands that called it quits in ‘06
  • The 2006 Best of the East Coast list [Jan 8th]

    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.]]>
