Great concept. Jury still out on the execution/layout. Everything I've read has been toothless and boring as fuck.

anyway, i appreciate your feedback happycow. you clearly wouldn't be engaging in this kind of debate if you didn't care deeply about the site.
as editor, though, i can assure you that advertising $$ are the furthest thing from my mind when generating content

You're going to post articles with headlines and content that are going to get click-throughs to increase your revenue
yeah, that 6000-word interview with Bleddyn Butcher was all about the clicks.... what other music publication in Australia runs stuff like this? and we paid for it too.
your penchant for hyperbolic headlines is uncannily similar to marketing strategies used by tabloids and current affairs shows.
would you prefer we write the headlines straight? ''Band X Announces Tour'', ''Band Y To Release New Album?'' Most of the time the headlines are for our own amusement. Other times we just want to draw more people into the story.
You can't say editorial content isn't compromised though when we've just had that run of stupid debates brought to us by Hyundai.
We thought the series was a fun thing to run over summer. Hyundai had nothing to do with the topics. They just furnished the prize. We thought the articles were anything but advertorial fluff. They were valid debates and people engaged with them.
I'm not suggesting it's a conspiracy, it's just business isn't it?
yep. guilty as charged.

i stand by this content. i think it's interesting to anyone who's ever attempted to write a song.

what sparklesparkle said.
it's virtually impossible to report on music in australia without at least one gotye story creeping into the mix every few weeks
how often does an artist that's relevant to our audience crossover into the mainstream like this? pretty much never.
there's no hidden agenda here, we don't have meetings with ''gotye and SEO'' scrawled on whiteboards. your conspiracy theories are based on fantasy.

It's obvious that the site is trying to squeeze every bit of advertising dollar out of Gotye stories as it possibly can.
this is really quite laughable. i don't know where to begin.
this story was held over from october. we just though this was a good time to ''drop it''
