NEW! - Champion Your Band!

Led-Zeppelin's come up with what I and some other staff members think is a pretty good idea to put a bit of interest back into the M&M board.

I'm sure we've all got a band or artist that we love, and some of us have even made topics about those bands in M&M. What I think is even better is when it's maybe a band that I haven't heard of before, some more new music for me to get into. A lot of these topics have been of great quality, lots of links information and have really worked in getting people into more music.

So Led's idea was that we maybe formalise this a bit more, and do something that'll hopefully go a little more noticed.

So what's the idea? Easy, just find a band or artist that you know and love, it doesn't have to be underground, local or unheard of, but it would be nice if you were doing a well known band that you could put an interesting slant on it, then write a topic on that band preferably following the guidelines set down by How2Pk's Sticky on how to open a topic. Write up the post, make it interesting, add plenty of relevant links, information and YouTube links if possible. Maybe even talk about what the band means to you, but i'm sure you'll know what to do. Remember, it's the band that you know and love, and you're the one trying to champion it and spread their music to a new audience.

Once you've got an idea for a band or artist you want to do, pm the idea to me, but don't say what band you're going to do on this topic. It'll make things a little more interesting. :wink:

I'll do a little schedule of who's week it'll be and when depending on how much interest we get, and in the week before it's your turn, write up your post and pm it to me and i'll put it as a sticky on the Friday. The previous topic will be de-stickied and there'll be backlinks to all the old topics in the latest one. Obviously there'll be no deadline for registering interest, anyone can do it anytime, but if you think you fancy giving it a go letting me know sooner rather than later would be great, cheers.

Any thoughts or feedback regarding this idea would be welcome, but otherwise I think it's fairly straightforward.

EDIT: It's now been up and running for a while now, so if you're interested you can see some past examples to see what we're looking for.

Sounds like a great idea! My PM is on it's way :D

Great Idea! I'll defcinitely have to get into this one. :D

Great idea! My PM's coming in, I can't wait... This is going to be fun.

Haha, choice, good to see some positive feed back. I've been working on mine, but haven't had much time, worked 60 hours this week. :boohoo:

I don't understand this very much. Wtf do I do? :-s

Just make a huge post with loads of info about your band, and then it'll get to be stickied for a week, but it's gotta be good =D

huh, I completely missed this topic. I think I'm going for one as well. :)

Great idea! My PM's coming in, I can't wait... This is going to be fun.

If you guys could start thinking about sending your pms to me sometime soon that'd be good.

I need to think of something that I can do. i'm not much of a writer.

I'll get to work on mine right away. Give me two weeks, and I'll have one ready to go.

Sorry mines going to take quite sometime to do aye man, I've been working 70 hours a week.

Ill have mine sent in by the end of the day.

PM sent, I'll be able to produce the article before the end of the month; probably around the 21st.

Nice start on this by Kalphite, TFK look really good now. I've never really thought about listening to them before, but I am now =D

Assasin, mine should be in in a couple of weeks. I'm busy, and mine's gonna be a looonnnnggg writeup.

I think you should have a go at stickying the topics, number one doesn't seem to be getting much traffic just sitting out there.

Awright, mine's sent in. It's lonnnnggg, though.

Okay, can I start writing mine now? :D

I've written roughly half of mine. Going to break for the night.
