Public Service Announcement

This blog is called "Hidden GEMS in the Music Industry", not hidden crap.  Let me explain what that means and how this works.  Every week I receive tons of emails from bands, managers, publicists, etc. asking me to check out their stuff.  I read about them, do some research, listen to clips, watch videos, etc.  Once I've done all of that, if I decide that I really enjoy their stuff, if I feel that they are very talented, if I see them going places, etc. I will feature them in an article.  I will inform the general public of their existence, what their sound is like, what I particularly like about them, and so on and so forth.  If I don't like the stuff I get, it's simple.  I don't write about it.  If you are looking for a thrash it or trash it type review, it's not here.  The "reviews" may contain some criticism IF I'm reviewing a specific album, show, or video from a band that has been previously featured.  I'm not trying to write a blog telling you what music NOT to listen to.  That in no way means I won't occasionally voice my opinion about popular music that I don't like.  The point of this PSA is simply this, either you like the content or you don't.  If you don't, so sorry, but there's a simple solution.  Go find a blog with content that you DO like.  I won't allow comments that are rude, bitchy, demeaning, generally stupid, etc. be published.  There's no need to insult.  A simple "I didn't like that band" or "God, that band was amazing" will suffice.  I encourage commenting and conversing back and forth, but let's keep it peaceful guys!  I do moderate the comments, and I won't let anyone be just downright hateful.  Your opinion is fine, but your insults won't post!  Thanks for reading guys!!  xoxoxoxo -Lolli
