LOOKING FOR TWO, PERHAPS THREE PEOPLE WHO HAVE AN INCREDIBLY HIGH MUSICAL IQ AND AN EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE THAT SPANS MULTIPLE GENRES.
A mini-show is being created in a similar model to the popular show Around The Horn on ESPN, in which 4 people discuss current sports events and their opinions regarding them, except in this case, regarding music. Currently, myself and another member are filling the first two roles but we are in need of two people and perhaps the role of a moderator that would pose questions and monitor the debates and conversations.
The shows format is as followed:
- Four people introduced.
- (x) number of albums/tracks to be discussed as well as relevant “events”.
- Cordial debate and banter about the aforementioned and personal opinions given.
- Conclusions made and transitions into different topics.
- Show ended with a 10 second personal note of interest from each panelist.
What you will need to be considered:
- As said before an extensive knowledge of multiple genres and capability of forming appropriate all well thought out opinions to share.
- Access to a webcam as this will be done in a group format with our “producer” recording.
- Cannot be camera shy, must be able to articulate points somewhat respectfully and eloquently, that means no awkward, quiet, anti-confrontation or weak in demeanor people need apply.
- Must have the time to be able to listen to the week’s choices in music and keep up with news well enough to remain in the know.
- Must be available a minimum of once a week for the recording of this.
“I’m interested in participating, how do I apply and how will I know if I’m chosen for this?”
The best thing to do would be to reblog this post with, or post your “résumé” here. Please include the following:
- What genres you would say you are the most well-versed in.
- Any prior experience with musical critique or opinion.
- Why you would like to be a part of this and why we should choose you.
- Any additional information that you would like us to know.
After we have received a suitable amount of entries we will let everyone know that we are reviewing them and talk with the people who we are strongly considering, and then finally let you know who the panel will consist of.
Everyone to reblog this will be featured in the credits of the show since this is originating on tumblr and we feel that it’s a small gesture of thanks to the community that’s based on this website. Thanks guys, can’t wait to hear from you, and good luck!
