The internet in the area is back up and now we can finally get Reviews up on here. They will begin this evening and we are also in the midst of preparing tomorrow's Listening To This Week Playlist. You can imagine that the downtime over the past few days has left a lot to catch up on.
I just wanted to mention a couple of things about Submissions. Submitters may not know that we don't do Spotify. When we get emails with only a Spotify link, we send a pleasant email to ask if the song can be submitted in an alternate way.
That is all fine. However, we are noting the same people continue to send details of songs that only have a Spotify link. With it being busy here, we don't want to continue sending ignored replies. These emails are obviously just sending out to all in the hope of coverage. If they do this they should add multiple links. We have no option from now on, but to just block the sender if this happens continuously.
Secondly, we get a lot of messages asking if it is ok to submit a song on social media and we like this and encourage it. However, after saying yes, we get a follow up asking for a link to IDHAS. Such follow ups are ignored. We are a site that supports artists and have a following of artists and listeners that support each other. If someone can't be bothered to look up IDHAS themselves, they sort of prove that they are not as like minded as the community.
We are not being angsty in any way. Time is limited and we spend it on people who share the same goals.
