Sam Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 My thoughts exactly. Please contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 you can sort me to any day, probably thursday would be perfect. i was thinking we could review both, fresh albums and some classics. and if one person would write a full review, other contributors could rate that album or even write some short notes, as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Thanks Nik, that is actually a very good idea. I'm gonna add any ideas straight to the first post. Everybody comment on the ideas too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 by the way, this is a perfect start to renovate coldplaying! it only depends on people (like always) if they are willing to contribute to this "renovation" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitta Rensolo Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Honestly this is such a great idea.....this is one of the things this board needs... and I so much would like to contribute because it's a thing I like doing....I wrote maybe some reviews in my life......and it took me a long time....but I like it... and for that reason I unfortunately have to say that I can't contribute....there are only 2 months left until my a-level exams......and in the last weeks I had to study a lot...and I'll have to study a lot.......so I'm sorry.... but what I can say is that many people should be aware of this....like Nik said it could be "mega"---- so I'm waiting for nice, serious and helpful reviews guys.....I'm "standing behind you" (don't know a proper expression for that in english...haha...) thumbs up for this idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 ^ awwww, i was hoping for you Jules :( but it's fine. prepare for the exams, they are by far more important than anything else ;) i was thinkig of some people who are here every day and would contribute, probably: Julia, Lera, Mo (burningmonk), Dave S, Erin, putainfromage, Danielle (an_cat), Tracie (TracieMorgan), Therese (_therese) etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitta Rensolo Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 actually I was hoping for me too...haha---because somewhere deep in my mind there is this little dream of being a journalist at a music magazine... yep will do;) Oh and now I should stop "chatting" in here.....I want it to be a huge thing...hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 I was gonna PM you to ask about it Julia. Haha. We need more people to put their name down and support this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 i can take 2 days if it helps although, people should really contribute this time :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilolas Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 great idea!!! I'd love to help... don't really know how though... open to suggestions!!! :smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 great idea!!! I'd love to help... don't really know how though... open to suggestions!!! :smug: great! :thumbsup: you basicly would need to review an album. just describe it in 10-12 sentences or stuff like that, why it's good or why it's bad, worth a listen or not worth etc... i think we could review 2 albums every day (one of the newest ones, and one of classics). the reviewers would be always different (just to spare some time) if we'll get 10 people, you'd have 1 review/week if we'll get 5-6, then probably 2 in a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 The main thing I want to happen with this little 'project' is to build up a large archive of proffesional-type reviews doen by Coldplayers. That would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be awesome. I understand... like different opinions about the same album, from different points of view... for instance, any huge Radiohead fan wouldn't criticise their albums, but someone "neutral" would...

Ondes Martenot Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 oh, I get it!!! then we would evaluate it and would calculate an average evaluation? well, IMO, there would be a main, long, full review and other contributors would only post some notes on this album in 1-2 sentence with a rank. well, at the end we'd get an average of the ranks and post it. the main idea, imo, is that coldplaying could become a source for people if they are searcing for new music ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitta Rensolo Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 One question: Do I need to have one day every week? I mean sometimes there are weeks I have to study a lot and stuff and sometimes not....so if I have time....in those weeks...I would like to help...is this possible?

I mean sometimes there are weeks I have to study a lot and stuff and sometimes not....so if I have time....in those weeks...I would like to help...is this possible? Well, I'm starting to doubt the 'timetable' idea already. I think it should probably be a bit more informal. So, yes, you'd be able to do that.

Ondes Martenot Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 One question: Do I need to have one day every week? well, i don't think it's necessary. i was thinking that "the job" of a reviewer would be: - write 1 max. 2 reviews per week (10-15 minutes maximum) - listen to 4-5 full new albums at least once (4-5 hours) + to a classic if the reviewer hasn't heard that album yet (+ 4-5 hours) so it means this would take you max. 8-10 hours in a week. but actually probably even less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitta Rensolo Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 ah ok.... next question: Where can I listen to the albums?:embarassed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
