I just published Fufkin's 48th monthly issue, and I want to thank everyone
on this list for the support we have received from all of you. We average
over 50,000 unique visitors a month from all over the world, and a core from the
Audities list is what we built the site on. It has been very gratifying for
me to give a forum for a lot of great writers to write about music and
artists that otherwise might not receive the type of notice that they deserve,
even in the alternative media and new media outlets that are out there. It is
hard to believe it has been 4 years since I approached Mike Bennett at IPO in
August of 2000 to ask him if he was interested.
My special thanks to my good friends Mike Bennett, Gary Glauber, Gary Pig
Gold, Alan Haber, Kurt Hernon, Dawn Eden, John Borack, Bill Klutho, Michael
Lynch, Kevin Mathews, Robert Pally, Kurt Sampsel, Eric Sorensen, Eliot Wilder,
Shona Winfrey and Nick A. Zaino, III who are the writers who made Fufkin what
it is and why we were recognized by SXSW as having some of the finest music
criticism on the internet. I want to thank past writers who have contributed
excellent work over the past four years, Jon Bard, James Baumann, Rick
Bilous, Anna Borg, Ken Burke, Lane Campbell, Katherine Kim, Kerry Chicoine, Ben
Collins, Jason Thompson, Michael Potter, Mark Sanders, Julia Scott, Richard
Scroggs, Andrew Tarsy, Jason Thompson and Mike Stax. I want to thank my great
friend Bruce Brodeen, Michael Roux and everyone at Parasol, Rainbow Quartz,
Call Girl PR, Mint Records and all of the other labels, publicists and artists
who send boxes and boxes of promos for us to listen to. As we go into our
4th year, we're looking for some new blood and we have some new features that
I hope we can implement by early next year, like a blog and some other ideas
that I have. I hope we can continue to publish forever. I think that will
depend on if we can find some additional writers with some time, good taste
and some writing skills. Please contact me at _fundaro@aol.com_
(mailto:fundaro@aol.com) if you know anyone with enthusiasm, good taste in any genre of
music and some writing talent. Thanks again.
