Odds and Ends 
Do you accept submission’s for new music?
old cheese is usually the tastiest.
If you feel the urge to have me listen to your music, I probably will. If I like it, I may write about it.
Hi you,
i’m Alessio, i’m writing to you from Rome, Italy.
With a bunch of friends i’ve had for almost one year an mp3-blog named IndieForDummies, but due copyright problem we’ve changed the name in IndieForBunnies.
So our new link is http://www.indieforbunnies.com
Last year we made a music-blog survey, asking to the most number of blog we could , the 10 best albums of the year.
After that we made a huge classification of the best 2005 album, you can see the result here :
http://indiefordummies.blogspot.com/2005/12/music-blog-top-100-album-2005-blogs.html
We want do it again, with the best albums of 2006.
So once again this mail is for a music-blog survey.
We are asking to all the music-blogs around the web (we will try to reach all of them), to write us which are, in their opinion, the best 10 music albums of the year .
After received all the answers we will compose a huge final classification trying to determinate which are the most appreciated 2006 albums in the music-blog world.
So send us a mail with your TOP TEN 2006 (with positions number) album, and write us the name and the complete URL of your blog.
No music genres restrictions, just put albums released for the first time in the 2006 year.
Obviously we will pleased to send you all the results at the end of the survey.
We will accept answers to this survey until the 25th of December.
I hope you like our idea instead if you think it sucks please don’t hate us :-)
we are doing this just for music passion .
Have a nice day,
Axelmoloko
P.S. If you know other music-blog, please tell them about this survey or forward them this mail…we want to reach all the music blog is possible. thanx….
