Here is the picture of a (French) collaborator (the fat man in the middle) just before he was shot by the Communist resistance in Nouvion and then shot again by the some other collabs before he was paraded through his hometown dressed up in women clothes and the had to spend ten days in a poultry shed, hiding from the two ladies in the pictures, armed with enough weapons to start WWIV. Hands up, who want to become a new collaborator ? Edited by toroddfuglesteg - September 22 2010 at 14:43 |

Oh man finally someone who is willing to tackle the Tribes of Neurot addition. Thatīs actually quite a task considering the vast amount of releases by that act.

Slight corrections to description above - at least for the metal teams we don't require a biography set up in that manner. A description of the artist's or band's history and notable events will do just fine.
Recommended tracks and CDs are items of a highly subjective nature, and doesn't really merit mentioning. If they have releases that have made a generally noteable impact it's worth mentioning, but for most artists added to the database we're dealing with lesser known acts, and throwing out recommandations based on personal or another person's notions of what is or isn't good aren't really recommended. Criterias for band photo size have changed, minimum 300 pixels and maximum 500 pixels. As I have photoshop a beter quality image isn't troublesome though, resizing and cleaning up quality isn't that hard. |

You could start by writing the band's biography, as the information you come across while researching this will largely fill in the other spaces eg discography, personnel etc. If you Google ''Tribes of Neurot'' you'll get results from Wikipedia, MySpace, Metal Archives etc. Also, you can purchase or download their albums via the likes of Amazon; the downloads are much cheaper, but the cost will still mount up as they have quite a few albums already - at the very least you can listen to the free 30-second samples to get an idea of their sound. (Here's another thing about being a Collab... you'll have to listen to music you may not actually care for that much. Just something for you to consider.) Once you've written your bio in a Word document, copy and paste and send via Personal Message to a Special Collab (Windhawk in this case I assume ). EDIT: make sure to use your own words in your bio, although I think Windhawk already mentioned that.
Here's the format/guide for writing bios (originally posted by Proglucky - see Band Biographies in How to Improve the Site):
We need to know the following information:
1- 1st paragraph: Short history, list of current and former members, style & similar bands 2- 2nd paragraph: Describe the better cds without mentioning their tracks. 3- End with mention (recommended, highly recommended or not) or brief commentary. Special Notes: When using band names ... write them in UPPER CASE; album names should appear between quotation marks "..." Ex: MARILLION "Brave". EXAMPLE:
Go to Tony BANKS written by Lise (HIBOU), CANADA IF APPLICABLE: 4- A band photo (if possible about 200 - 250 pixels wide) NOT NECESSARY but useful: 5- A list of all releases (LP, CD, Compilations, Live) with year of release, track listing (track time), line-up and the cd/album label.

For me it is; stress, tea, lack of sleep, whisky, gym fatigue, anger, apathy, disillusion. Not neccessarily in that order. |

The art of discovery. The chase of hunting down the band and getting the interview. It is very satisfying, to say at least. Also the discovery of new music is excellent. The All Over Everywhere album was a magic moment. Earlier today, both a CANO and a Happy Family album made my day. Edited by toroddfuglesteg - September 21 2010 at 16:17 |

Coffee. Music. Adrenaline. Stress. Shortage of time and too little sleep. Mostly.

Tea and biscuits mainly. Also the odd lardy cake now and then. Oh, and sheds. |

Google is your friend for tracking down information, the tasks themselves are rather self-explaining I'd think. Take a look at a few artists pages and album listings to see them exemplified :-)
