The Rules of Criticism

Allow comments or not allow comments.  Such is the dilemma of the blogger.  Personally, I think if you allow comments as a blogger, you should be able to take the insults of any ass hat 15 year old kid with an opinion.  That said, I'm setting forth some loose rules for comments, so there's no confusion as to why I'm pulling your comments on a given post.  

1) Comment thoughtfully.  This means, I'll pull throwaway comments meant to boost my ego or beat it back down to size.  This is purely a housekeeping measure I'm taking to allow the cream to rise the top of the comment section.  Positive or negative, if you don't have much to say, but say it anyway, don't expect it to stay up unless I'm feeling altruistic.

2) If you insult, be creative.  If you have to use profanity, try words like 'douchetard', 'fuckwad' or phrases like 'fuck stick'.  Overall, have fun with putting me down if you hate what I'm doing here.  

3) I encourage you to post songs you think I or somebody else put in the mix.  However, if you're wrong, I'm pulling the comment.  Nothing personal, just trying to keep people on the right track in looking for good music.  

4) As a rule of thumb, I will most likely pull down nasty comments pertaining to guest mixes, clever or not.  I'm trying to promote a safe environment for people to share mixes, and I don't want snobbery or snarky remarks to scare people away from doing that.  

If there's any confusion as to why I pulled your comment, and you have no life and need to ask me why your comment was pulled, hit me up on my e-mail, and I might give you an answer... unless you're a James-Taylor-loving no-talent ass-clown.

The Rules of Submission

Part of the long term goal of this blog is that people send in mixes to share with everyone on this blog.  So for the sake of my own sanity in case people actually take me up on that, here are the rules of submission:

1) The mix must be contained in one file lasting roughly 60 minutes in length.

2) I prefer mixes to be sent in as mp3 files at 192 kbps, but can cope with other formats if absolutely necessary.

3) No ripping off other people's mixes.  The work has to be original.  It will be taken down if it's found lifted off another site.

4) If you send me a mix, give me a name to credit, otherwise, I'll just go with anonymous.

Remember, just because you send a mix in, doesn't mean I'll post it.  My taste is my disgression. If send in a mix and are angry I don't post it, hit me up on e-mail, and I'll try and give you the courtesy of an explanation.  But most likely, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and post it.  

Simple rules aside, please send me your mixes and we can get this thing rolling.

Pushing it forward,

Statement of Intent

I made this blog for two reasons: 

First, as an avid mixtape creator, it provides a potential outlet when I don't have anyone to make a mix for.  

Second, and more relevant to you reading this, it provides a place for you to get, hopefully, good music to kill time, specifically an hour, as you go about your day.  

As stated in my profile, I'm not a dj nor an aspiring dj.  I'm not a musician nor am I an aspiring musician.  I'm just a music lover who likes to share what I consider to be interesting or even good music with my friends.  At the end of the day, the main goal of this blog is to do just that: give you an hour of good music to help you get through that day a little easier.  

Pushing it forward,

Killing Hours
