In Reply to: Why just reviewers... posted by mkuller on February 26, 2007 at 12:31:28:
Why you'd surmise that I haven't written my political representatives complaining about what I view as out&out bribery is beyond me. Hillary, Schumer, Pataki, Bloomberg have received multiple e-mails from me in the past. Ditto for the NY Times. If I suspect or know a biz I deal with is dishonest I stop giving them my $$, tell my friends about it, and if warranted call the BBB.I'm a jazz musician, and I'm lucky if they fed me on the few wedding/Bar Mitzvah gigs I've done in the last 20 years, let alone actual jazz gigs. I've never even received a gift worth more than $25 (bottles of Scotch, which I don't drink) from some big name/big $$ artists I've worked with/for. Trinkets and trips? I was also a NYC cab driver in hard times. Gee, Mike, I don't remember my garage or passengers giving me gifts. Nor did I get gifts when I re-finished furniture at an "antique" store on Columbus Ave. When I taught private music lessons I neither asked for nor received gifts. I ain't giving gifts to Amazon, CD Baby, Jazzloft for listing/selling my cd, and they sure as hell aren't giving any trinkets or trips to me, nor did the recording studio or cd pressing/graphics facility I used. The only gift I give to people/mags/e-zines who've reviewed my cd is the cd itself -- without which there'd be nothing to review -- and a "thankyou".
In case you haven't noticed, this ain't a journalism/business/political forum. Just as it would be inappropriate (and stupid) to write to Hillary suggesting TAS alter its review policies, it would be inappropriate to post here requesting my doctor, local hardware store, or the NY Post to be more open and helpful.
Besides all that.....what the hell is your point? Because corruption and dishonesty is rampant we shouldn't ask audio magazines to be honest, trustworthy, helpful? Somehow I doubt JA would agree with that concept.
