WHAT IS GROUNDWATER?

Groundwater is a music review site primarily run by Sonic Youth Gossip members, and a few others. Our focus is on underground artists in general.

SECTIONS OF GROUNDWATER CONTROL PANEL

Groundwater is the homepage

Groundwrite is the section where you can add reviews and interviews. They will be approved and added to the main page once the main page is finally up

Groundchoice is a dynamic system that will allow you to update a "recommended artists" list with the click of a button. I will include many different genres and about 10-15 recommended artists/songs/albums for each.

Groundnews allows you submit news articles for the homepage

Groundbreak is an error reporting system

Groundrob is to send a message to administration. No real need for us on SY because we can contact each other easily, but for those not on the board

Groundstaff is a staff directory with contact information

YOUR ACCOUNTS

A staff login is now available! Although the Control panel will be in development for a long time, there are portions of it that are functioning. Send me a PM with your real name and desired password and I'll hook you up with a staff account.

example:
Name: rbastien
Password: yourpassword

I'm looking forward to seeing reviews! If you're planning to go into journalism and want to use the site as a reference, just send me a message and I'll hook you up with a phone number and address.

Take it easy,
Rob

Danny Himself · 02.15.2007, 03:52 PM

I already have a couple of short reviews written up that I'll pad out soon. I'm still waiting on a reply from Steve about the interview.

Inhuman · 02.15.2007, 03:55 PM

Okay great man! Sounds awesome. I just worked on it for 4 hours, and now I'm taking a break. As soon as I'm done the site completely I'm totally contacting Hot Cross and seeing if they'd do an interview

.

Inhuman · 02.15.2007, 05:39 PM

Thanks for the review! I'll have it up as soon as the home page is done; I just have to complete the control panel first

schizophrenicroom · 02.15.2007, 05:48 PM

yep! just upload them and paste the links into the area. Yeah, I guess I should make it a textbox, I'll go fix that as soon as I get home. Thankies! Eventually I'll add a button to the control panel that directly uploads them, it will make it much, much easier!

LittlePuppetBoy · 02.15.2007, 10:08 PM

I have a few things I could review.

youthoftomorrow · 02.16.2007, 03:07 AM

i can review a few gigs i'll be going to over spring break (Isis and Lightning Bolt).

Thanks! I'll pm it to you as soon as I find it. Haha and yeah, it's Groundwater wave 2. But this time I have the sufficient funds, more experience, and patience unlike last time!

HaydenAsche · 02.16.2007, 11:46 AM

E-mail me, Rob. I lack the PM function but I have a ton of stuff already written up for you.

Hayden(underscore)Asche(at)Hotmail(dot)com

Inhuman · 02.17.2007, 12:45 AM

Alright

I recreated pretty much everyone's accounts from the previous attempt at the site, so you can all log in with your old passwords. If you forgot it, just send me a PM. I seemed to lose Haydenasche's and Dazedcola's password though, so I'll email Hayden and PM dazed.

So the following are working:
jryan
ebent
dfitzgerald
jswitzer
bgreen
ataitague
mhassan
tweber
jmarks

I'm working on the control panel and home page quite a bit tomorrow. I'm hoping to have half of the buttons working!

Everyneurotic · 02.17.2007, 10:21 AM

ohh, cool, so i'm still in?

Inhuman · 02.17.2007, 12:55 PM

For sure! I'm hoping that everyone from last time is still in!

Inhuman · 02.18.2007, 04:20 PM

Updated. Added groundrob, groundbreak, added dazedcola to the staff list, and am currently building the recommendation system

golden child · 02.18.2007, 10:29 PM

hey, i hardly read the board anymore. so dont know the progress on this and such. id like to be a staff member, but contributing only a small amount due to time constraits. also nowadays all i am listening to is noise so reviews will be in that vein... (with exceptions maybe).

Well that's fine, you can still review. If you're really into Noise, then focus on noise reviews. It's all good as long as the review's not bias. PM me and I'll hook you up with one.

I just recently did an MD5 (Message Digest 5) on everyone's password, so they're SECURE.

king_buzzo · 02.19.2007, 09:24 AM

i want an account

Everyneurotic · 02.19.2007, 11:56 AM

alright, i'd love to contribute but now i don't much time lately, so i'll try to contribute something, but be patient. if this doesn't work for you, i don't mind if you bump my position for someone else.

No worries, I can add infinite staff members! It would be great if you help out. I just can't guarentee email addresses for all of you

schizophrenicroom · 02.20.2007, 03:17 AM
