I think if i choose to be somehow *nicer in some reviews, it would be
only motivated by the fact that the band/project is unknown and
deserves a little help. There are plenty of online sources nowadays to
get my daily dose of new sounds, so i dont really care about receiving
free cds, even it is always great, sure.
about the format of the reviews, i said i wanted to do this in a blog,
but i'm not too sure now, id like something that could be easily
browsed by key-words, maybe a bit like a wiki, but then i dont need all
these collaboration-oriented options...
