THE MERRY MONTH OF MAY

I've a real determination to provide daily postings at TVV. However, it's not easy whenever I go on holiday and in recent times I've resorted to posting total repeats from way back. Or I've been lucky enough to get the wonderfully talented ctelblog from Acid Ted make a series of great contributions.

My next extended break comes at the back end of May, but I'm hoping, with the help and support of you lot out there, to do something a little bit different.

For at least the two weeks of my holiday, and slightly longer if there's enough interest, I want to hand over TVV to guest reviewers. So I'm extending an open invitation for scribblings on music....

All I'm looking for are your words on why a singer/group/single/album or piece of music means something to you. You send these to me by e-mail along with details of the song you'd like to accompany the words. If it turns out to be a song that I don't have in the collection, then I'll ask you to also send that over.

I'll then take you e-mail and put it into a posting and arrange for the song to be hosted over at fileden, and before you know it, there will be a few hundred folk reading your words and listening to the song(s) you're highlighting.

Interested? If so, please e-mail me at:-

thevinylvillain@hotmail.co.uk

I hope that enough of you will respond to allow me to put together 31 pieces for the whole of the month of May, and it will be on a first come-first served basis. If you want to highlight your own blog, please feel free to do so. My only proviso is that I won't use any pieces that promote new or unreleased music or suggestions that would involve songs by singers or bands who are well known to use dmca notices to force takedowns.

If no-one bothers coming back to me, then I will fall back on the tried and tested method of re-posts from days of old. Either way, TVV will be published 7 days a week throughout 2009.

Thanks for reading. And thanks, in advance, for helping out.
