Hey,

Sounds good.

I just want to get a sense of how we intend to do genres, though. Most bands don't fit neatly into a single genre, and many genre tags are applied to eras rather than sounds. The reason I bring this up is because of what I'd like to contribute - post-punk and post-punk revival. Both these terms are often applied to a certain time in music, not always to a certain sound. Besides, the lines between post-punk revival and other genres - indie rock in the case of The National and Interpol, garage rock in the case of The White Stripes - has always been blurred. It's the same when we talk about The Clash or Wire, say, both of whom covered ground from punk to other genres. I don't know; I could be wrong.

Count me in, though. Would love to know what others think.
