A Word From The Critic; Sorry, He’s Kind Of A Prick
When the editors of IvyGate approached me and asked if I would handle a new feature called ivyTunes, I slowly and calmly backed away, making sure never to break eye contact. This was only partially because of how they smelled. I resisted at first mostly because the idea sounded insane: 1) call for submissions from Ivy League bands, 2) actually listen to these submissions and 3) comment on the most interesting ones. Number two in particular. I listened to plenty of Ivy League bands at my alma mater. They tended to cover “What I Got.” By Sublime. And I tended to want to poke them with a knife.
But here I am. Why? The audacity of hope. Perhaps your band can prove me wrong. That and the editors of IvyGate actually bothered to design this elaborte iTunes-style logo, so I took pity on them. With that, submit away. Who knows? You might win some new fans among IvyGate’s readership, which currently stands at 14.
Oh, and one more thing. I reserve the right to review any MP3 you send in — even (or, because I’m a sadist, especially) if they’re horrible. Let the games begin.
