Hi guys,

Now you know why it often takes us 2 man/woman hours for EACH listing to come up with examples. And that's AFTER we spend an hour trying to figure out what the listing party is asking for. And then our members often complain that we only want pigeon holed music! :roll:

So we made a conscious decision on this listing to let you guys figure it out... not to be jerks about it, but there's one sentence that should tell you everything you need to know, "Think of the kind of hip music you might hear in trendy lounge in a big city."

That's metropolitan and cosmopolitan!

BTW, when we see listings from TAXI imitators that say, "Looking for positive, male singer/songwriter songs," and nothing more, we know they're essentially made up listings that are intended to be general so everybody thinks they've got one and submits. They split the listing fees with the listing parties, so they want a lot of submissions.

We dig deep and spend a lot of time on our listings to help you zero in on what they really need. In this listing it was simply, ""Think of the kind of hip music you might hear in trendy lounge in a big city."

Hope that helps,
Michael

But was is very cool here is how members used the forum to ask other members for possible examples, style guidance, etc. Kudos to Dave, Alan, Andy, et al. 8-) 8-) 8-)

Thanks, Michael, for chiming in. I'm sure it's often a thankless task for you and your staff.

:D Casey

I personally like the specific examples, gives me a focus I usually (sorely) need. I will usually look to specific alas even on my own now.
