I'm still thinking that 'Yes someones ex is reading this post' takes the post of the century award.
Definitely. I still remember my reaction to that post. LOL

Congrats on making it! I'm currently trying to become a reviewer, but I don't even have 30 yet. Ouch I will soon though, and I'll be releasing mine a bit faster now.

I was an early member on the site and Max just asked me after about only a month or so of writing reviews. I had never written any music review before joining the site. I'v even written about 12 band bios. I think anyone can do that. There are a number of bands that don't have bios or just short ones. Sometimes my bios go into novel length proportions and some guys have even critcized me for it.

I dunno try and write a bio.

However, the problem of mind being enhanced by Prog is that some things you enjoyed before in your life will now seem pathetic or dull. That's the price we have to pay. Of course, some may overcome it. Lucky them :-)
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

Never mind becoming a collab. Just explore the genres first and live life to the full through your explorations.  


I agree that ProgArchives has a wealth of music to discover - there are so many bands already I've discovered here, obscure and otherwise, that I don't know how I would have uncovered without the aid of this fine site. I think I'll always be grateful for that, and the voice that this site gives me to express my views of the music I discover.

Just take life easy, Gazz and be honest in your reviews. Try to become a millionaire first and then become a journalist in Playboy Magazine Present Prog. After that, you may take things as they floats past you in the big river.



XD Wouldn't that be something...LOL

Oh btw, congratulations to yourself and Bernadette. Clap

I probably should - I'm still new to RPI but I've got a number of albums I've been meaning to get around to reviewing eventually. And thanks a bunch! Smile
