Linda Perhacs (acid folk)

 

 

 

 

I also provided links to the rateyourmusic page which has reviews.  I assumed that your team would check the other youtube clips if/ when you took it to evaluation (if you didn't know her already, which I thought at least one of your team likely would -- I guess she's more obscure than I thought). I apologise for not specifically saying that there were more on youtube, and I was hoping to solicit the opinions of people who knew her (I've known music of hers for many years, and hadn't thought that she was that obscure). I was in a hurry when I created the topic, but had planned to discuss it further with people, and your team, when they posted in the thread. I didn't expect her in, I merely raised the possibility and asked for people's opinions. At he least, I hoped people would enjoy the music (I do).  I never said she should be in Prog Folk, I asked the general membership "How would people feel about her in Prog Folk" and then posted tracks that I thought would be of most interest from her two albums.  If I had brought it to your team, then I would have said much more. She is a singer/songwriter and it even says that on the rateyourmusic page that I linked to.  >>> don't sweat it, SMcD is in the databese anyway.....Normally Alex contacted you to write the bio...... We just have to determine if she should in PF or in PR, which means that we'll have to ask in the latter option.

 

 

musically, I think she is at least Prog Related, but  I could not care less if she's in or out, >> I do agree with this same with Perhacs.  I enjoy the music, but I'm not a reviewer, and I loathe preparing additions.  >> no need to review, just write a bio. Eventually I can take care of her bio (I've already written my reviews of both her albums).I do, however, greatly enjoy discussing such cases; however, you never even posted in the thread so I could discuss it with you. Incidentally, I would prefer that team discussion be held in the suggestion threads as much as possible/ feasible, but that's my preference, and is another issue. >> well you're always welcome in the PF Dandelion Patch , even if only for a visit.....the more the merrier, rteally

Regarding Perhacs, which I would rather focus on in this thread rather than other acts/ people, I think I made it clear when Bob, a team member of yours, suggested that I might try Psych that I did not think it appropriate to Psych, but that's up to the Psych team to decide. When Octopus seemed to suggest Psych, I re-considered because I may not understand the parameters well enough since ones that I would have  considered for Prog Folk as Acid Folk acts have been rejected for Prog Folk and accepted into Psych.  I'm okay with that, since I know that people have different "prog" expectations (some are more inclusive than others), and often "prog" is in the ear of the beholder, and if I were on a team, if I thought something suitable to PA, then I would accept it even if I didn't my category the best fit (had it been rejected where I would have thought it fit best). I'm very inclusive, and if a case is borderline, then I lean to yes for PA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you write that Crossover is farcical, that is way over the line, and shows real disrespect for that team.  >>> well the xover team has been including some very questionable artistes of late  ....  And I know I'm not the only one thinking so... some Admins also do. And them telling me to mind my own beeswax (as they gently seem to imply) is no doubt just as incorrect as me calling them farcical.....

 

 

 

And underlining "the samples of her music that were given to us were actually quite misleading, and I suspect this was voluntary."  Is that a deliberate jab at me underlined to make sure I did not miss it? What do mean "voluntary?" That I was deliberately trying to mislead you?  >> I've explained this above and hopefully it's OK now.

 

 

Anyway, this thread has become negative, and I'm not helping.  >> hopefully it will get better
