There are a lot of records reviewed in The Wire each month, and one
person cannot find all the audio links that are out there. So you can
help make this a much better resource, in a variety of ways:
- "Adopt a label"
- Choose a label or two (your favorites, whatever),
and every issue, see if any releases from them are reviewed. Then check
to see if the label offers any audio samples - if so, send in the info. This
takes very little time, and if enough people did it, it would net a lot
of links!
- "Adopt a month"
- Choose a single issue from the year and search
for as many links as possible from everything reviewed. This takes a
number of hours, of course, but hey, it'd only be once a year! (And of
course you'd get listed as compiler for that issue.)
- "Adopt a review section"
- Choose a genre review section (Critical
Beats, Jazz & Improv, Outer Limits, etc), and dig up anything from that
section each month. Like the above, except a lot smaller scale, so not
unreasonable, right?
- Supply your own
- If you have web space and rip mp3s from CDs you
own, you can host of few (to which the Companion will point) when reviewed in The Wire
- Keep an eye out
- If you run across some audio links, and
you know the releases were reviewed in The Wire, send in the info -
one-offs are welcome.
