Congratulation to everyone's who entered into the Scion Sampler giveaway, you're all going to receive a copy in the mail. If you emailed to contest@weheartmusic.com without providing your home address, you're not going to get a copy - sorry! The instructions specifically stated that we needed your address so I can have the Scion people do a mass mailout.
This giveaway went pretty well, be on the look-out for another one coming up - I will announce the details when I receive all the necessary instructions.
Anyway, I wanted to mention that I will be doing all my reviews on ♫ew Music (or as I call it "ew music" or "nude music"). Think of it as a W♥M Extra or sister website. I will be compiling a summary (with links and excerpts) every Tuesday.
So what caused this change? Well one of the reason is that I produce a lot of content. I average about 1.5 posts a day, and that may be overwhelming for readers (especially if most of my articles are on unknown bands that no one cares about).

Recently, I received a wonderful heart-felt letter from Mindy Dotson, singer of The Feminine Complex, a 60s band that Celeste covered last year.
I got permission to reprint the letter here for you:
Hi,
I don't know how I stumbled on your site, but I am so very happy to find you. I am the former Mindy Dalton of The Feminine Complex. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to find out that anyone may still listen to the music we made in the 60's.It may or may not interest anyone to know that I went on to have a long career singing in nightclubs throughout the south and in Las Vegas.
I retired from music in 1989 and now work as a Realtor in Mississippi.
I still sing on occasion with local bands just for fun.
I would like to say thank you to any and all that have found this album and listen to it. We always felt that the group had potential. The band had developed into quite a very good live performance group as well. Someone said that we looked like the glee club. That picture was taken in my home before we went to the airport to fly to New York to do a national tv show.
On stage, however, we wore micromini skirts with fishnet hose, knee high boots, etc. We dressed cutting edge for the 60s. Unfortunately for us, our record company executive died shortly after the record was released, and we lost our opportunity to move forward with a recording career.
Once again, I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you to all who listen to The Feminine Complex. We do very much appreciate the attention.
Keep Rockin!
Mindy Dotson, Realtor
So it really got me thinking that I needed to shift my focus from just (new) music reviews and perhaps go back to my original idea for W♥M: writing about the music that I really ♥.
