"The Sputnikmusic staff is a small group of writers and reviewers who are acknowledged as the most exemplary reviewers on the site. Staff reviewers are expected to exhibit a high level of reviewing prowess and activity on the site, consistently write at an expert level that is devoid of errors, and review new releases. Staff reviewers also contribute to the site through the "Staff Picks" feature on Sputnikmusic, in which they select recently-released albums (2005 or later) for their genre(s) of interest that they highly recommend to the community. Staff reviewers will receive the bulk of the new promo CDs coming to Sputnikmusic, and many of the staff writers keep in constant contact with record labels, artists, and artist management; in doing so, they receive promo copies and other inside information. Because of their position, the staff is entitled to certain perks that non-staff writers cannot receive (such as reviewing an album and submitting it to the site prior to the album's official release date, especially if they've maintained contact with the artist or someone affiliated with the artist)."
Its from Jom's messageboard post on the subject btw

Well, at the time, they had you fill out an appliction by a certain date and then results came out at a certain date along with a news article announcing results.
Now there is just an ongoing application thread and they'll add new people as they need them and you'll just notice one day.
Yea I didn't know this until Waior and Rudy became contribs...knowing I had failed once again haha. I remember Sobhi saying it was ongoing now, much to my surprise.

So I was totally thinking about checking this out and then I tripped and fell on jazz.
Has anyone here ever seen a horn player solo with just a mouthpiece? I have. Insanity.

thank you so so much mods (Dave, Jom, or whoever decided to feature this). Also, my biggest thanks go to mr. Trey Spencer thanks to whom this feature is possible. But, this isn't about me, this is about Crossbreed as these guys really deserve being recognized. So yeah thank you again.

It is definitely a review you can reference in your application for contributor. I probably need some more time myself, but I truly wish you the best when you decide to post one.

yeah thanks a lot man. Btw, you have got good writing skills, maybe you are just a bit too new of a user to get promoted right away (not that I am a long-timer either). Yeah I guess I will definitely mark this on my application, but like I said, this feature and review isn't about me, it is about Crossbreed and KE 101.
|

That's true, it should be for the music.
Still good for the ego though haha, but I gotcha. Thanks by the way. I'm working on it, but yeah I need some more time and experience.

yeah, people tend to get better with every review they write. Reading other reviews and reading in general helps a lot too.
