Please beat me on the top 10 users chart!

September 11th, 2008 by Mark Carras

So let me get this straight right up front. Nothing would make me more happy than to have a user beat the living crap out of me and DarkNemesis618 on the HAH top ten users chart. Please bump us down. All of you need to gang up and bump us both off the chart entirely. In my efforts to encourage you all to make it to the top of the chart, I am going to do my best to give away all my secrets. I hope to get DarkNemesis618 to do the same thing. You users totally need to take control of this place and make it what you want it to be. That is the whole point of the site.

So you do know about Google reader right? That is the most powerful tool when doing social media on any site. The other thing to know is that you should not just keep to music sites. There are many tech sites that do music related stories that would fit perfect in the “Industry News” section. CNN has music stories all the time. In fact whatever your favorite news sites are, I am pretty sure they have tons of musical stories. Don’t close you minds off to just the expected sources. What about a story about a music soundtrack that Trent Reznor did? What about another great band being on The Simpsons? So sometimes movie and tv news is also music news. Just like Tech news can be music news. What if some rock band plays for the Queen of England? World news can be music news too! Every news site and every news source can be a music news source that has great stories that should be posted at this site!

I also want to make it clear that this is NOT A METAL SITE! Notice the rock section? Notice the punk section? I want to see everything from Tom Petty to Cannibal Corpse. I want to see everything from Bob Dylan to Slayer. It would be better if we have everything from Rolling Stones to Six Feet Under. In the words of a legendary rock song, “I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now!”

Now the only other thing I can do is to give you the best music news sources I have on my Google reader currently. Steal them all and add your own, but please I beg you…beat me down on the charts like I was the new M.C. Hammer single!
