Whatever happened to...

aflunky	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 3:17 AM Whatever happened to those spotlight interviews? It was always cool to read about other artists. I don't think I've seen one since the site went plah.
Tattoomom	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 3:21 AM I liked those too. Israfel was writing them, maybe she decided she didn't have time to do it. If not, it would be cool if somebody else would do it...
leedsquietman	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 3:35 AM I think it took a lot of time and effort and the amount of people interested in reading and giving feedback and pre interview questions/comments dropped off significantly after the first couple of interviews, which wasn't very motivational. But I suspect it's mostly the time and effort required, those interviews were intense and I really enjoyed them but can understand how much time and effort goes into them. I think that there needs to be 2 or 3 people who work on them and rotate if they are to make a meaningful reappearance, it's too much work for one person over the longer period to be continually doing this.
ShadowMom	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 3:57 AM So who's volunteering here? Step UP, people, I can't take on any more right now or I would. But I have to breathe once in a while, too!
BOWILLIE	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 4:01 AM i will write my own..here goes. bowillies on dmusic.. run for the hills and plug the ears
Distilled1	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 4:23 AM yes volunteer! we have DJ spots open (ANY TIMES DAYS!!!)(look its not hard, an hour a week or better a 2 or 3 hour show a couple times a week look any time just be there and do it! I will do a walk through how to on PC if you want!), we have writing spots- news (from anything to do with music or the riaa or entertainment new releases gear help etc.)-INTERVIEWS ( yep you can do the spotlight format or hey you could do a recorded format maybe both maybe less maybe interviews of the featured artist or users)-and we really need a CODER That will work and not stop!!!
Distilled1	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 4:25 AM so flunky is the new spotlight guy I think first to ask should volunteer and I bet we would get some darn good ones even sound bites from him!!!
BOWILLIE	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 4:26 AM actually a lot of new intresting musicians have joined since those were done..
Tattoomom	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 4:29 AM I'll volunteer....I'm a pretty good writer and wouldn't mind doing a couple of pieces.

Crystal can do it, I'll proofread it if you'd like, and we'll get Tracy to post them. I do suggest choosing a few new ones, or if we can get them back, a few MIA ones-- the circle must grow wider in this little pond of ours! And as far as deejaying goes-- I don't know how difficult you all think it is if you have winamp to do a one-hour playlist. I'm pc illiterate, but perseverance and Distilled1 got me shoutcasting on a laptop. So it's NOT rocket science! But it would be nice if we could get a little help

ShadowMom	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 5:25 AM Keep in mind, DMusic is worldwide-- DMusic radio is 24 hours a day, sometimes Rhthesinner takes it in the wee small hours when Distilled1 and I are both grabbing our nightly catnaps. We need deejays all day long-- and we need them as soon as possible. We want to keep the music playing, and we want to spread it all over the world-- but we DO need help. Go to http://dmusicradio.com/ and register!

ShadowMom	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 5:37 AM "Some times it's good to have a break From it." Exactly, NOW you get it! I want a break, too! And so does Distilled1!
aflunky	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 5:37 AM I just pressed it again..... Poo!
ShadowMom	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 5:38 AM Too late for making up to me! And I could fix that for you, but ..... NOPE!
aflunky	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 5:39 AM :cries: Well, at least I got one right!
aflunky	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 5:39 AM DAMNIT!
ShadowMom	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 5:48 AM And that makes... one.

Israfel	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 6:00 AM What's this?? Actually, there were many reasons I didn't continue the Spotlight Interviews. Lack of readers was one. Busy life...yes, that too but that wasn't really a main issue. Crystal, if you want to take this one, that would be great! But beware...you will become the target of endless spam via notes and email from people wanting to be in the Spotlight. That was the main reason I stopped. Most of the notes and spam was from people who never seemed to listen to anyone else's songs and wanted to use the interviews only for their own promotion purposes. It just kind of defeated the original purpose I had in mind which was to look at artists individually and randomly choose one of them to get the chance to have the community know them a little better. It was fun while it lasted!
BOWILLIE	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 6:16 AM im proud to say i never was one to ask that but of coarse if you have to ask..that pretty much takes the thrill away.
Tattoomom	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 6:19 AM Mary...if you want to keep doing them, I don't mean to step on your territory....I just thought it could be fun... As far as spamming me goes...I have that big psycho dude to keep the posers away!
Israfel	Date: July 30, 2008 @ 6:27 AM No, honestly, Crystal...go for it! It will be good to see it go on!
