A year or so back, this topic proposed starting a Barbelith sub-site for reviews.
I know it's a bit late, but we've gone and done it. Barbelith Reviews. There's not much there - a few music reviews, one gig review and one book review - but it's a start.
I've been PMing some of the lurkers around here to see if they'd like to write something for it, and I'm going to carry on doing that - like I said elsewhere on the board recently, I think it's daft of us to be worrying about a lack of new blood on the board when there's a huge number of people who come here to read the threads regularly but never post to them. Hopefully, the reviews site will provide them with an easier, less threatening way into the Underground than expecting them to jump straight into the middle of an ongoing argument.
That doesn't mean that contributions from regular Lithers aren't equally welcome. We've also said that people with absolutely no relationship to the board are welcome to write pieces for it, although I doubt anyone will take us up on that offer. Hopefully, it'll get a few more people involved here, kick off some discussions that might not have happened without it and provide another means of advertising Barbelith. There's also the possibility that, if it works and enough people are interested in it, something similar could be done in place of the long-dead Webzine.
Anyone who's interested in writing something for the site can either PM me or Flowers, or email barbelithreviews@yahoo.co.uk . Any suggestions or comments are more than welcome. Thenk yew. |
