Screener 309

Yo.
All I have to say, is that I just don't understand your ears or what's going on in that brain of yours. Because every time I listen to the forwards of a listing that I know that you reviewed (because I have my return receipt), I cannot comprehend your logic in your choices for about 80% of the forwards. Whether it's sending in folky singer songwriter on an Adult Contemporary listing, or songs with whistles and handclaps when a listing asks for no whistles and handclaps, to songs with swearing in them for commercials for health insurance, I just don't get your choices and it so often makes ZERO sense. I mean, we all witnessed it on Taxi TV, even Michael was confused by half of them.
I dunno bout the rest of the TAXI folk, but I use the forwards blog to see the direction a listing ACTUALLY wanted. It's usually VERY easy to hear once you've listened to a few, what the commonality is and what the listing was actually going for, so, you know, when you get your return and you hear the forwards, it's like "oh, so they wanted males" or "oh, so they really wanted this kinda vibe or that tone of drum, or lyrics that were like x or melodies that were like y. It's pretty consistent and you can learn a lot. Sorry 309, but you seem to be the exception and I just cannot work you out. Every other screener I kind of get- there's one that's OBSESSED with "modern synths", there's one that's really lenient and will put nearly anything through and be really kind about it all, there's some that like big hooks and others who are very picky about what broadcast quality is which can leave you scratching your head. But you... after a year of taxi and a 100% miss record on every review from you whilst being forwarded by pretty much everyone else at one point or another, it just gets a bit weird after a while and a bit like shooting in the dark.
So yeah, whatever your smoking, can I have some please? Because we obviously don't agree on anything, and you do like 80% of my damn critiques, and it's 99% of the reason I only submit to TAXI on occasion now and focus on other opportunities instead because as soon as I see a critique and your number, I know it's a write off.
It's nothing personal, but seriously, some consistency in your forwards so we can actually get what is expected of us would be nice. K cool, thanks.
