Right now “Think Globally, Rock Locally” is what I’m bouncing around as the new tagline for donewaiting.com. “We’re listening” (as seen above beneath the URL logo) is the current tagline, and it’s cool in a “Big Brother We’re Watching You” sort of way, but I don’t think that fully gets the point across as to what donewaiting.com is slowly turning out to be.
We started out as just the main page, right? What you’re seeing right now (although a very ghetto designed version). Then we added my local Columbus OH music column, OH Columbus! because, well, that’s where I live. And right now the Columbus scene is ruling your ass.
Then we went across the Atlantic Ocean and started England Made Me by Steve Miller, and another Columbus column by Swizzle-Stick owner, Chip Midnight, and we call that one Atomic Ned.
But fuck! It didn’t stop there.
We went to NJ and plucked the guitarist for The Multi-Purpose Solution and started a NYC/NJ column, Bridges and Tunnels. And then we headed South West and opened up shop in Houston Texas with David A. Cobb’s Houston Calling.
We’re not done.
My goal is to add 1-2 new cities (countries?) a month to donewaiting.com. Because the local scenes are really what’s important these days.
Sure, I write about the national outlook of music on the mainpage here, and that’s important too. You gotta know what’s going on via a larger level. But the local columns, that’s where the real meaty bits of donewaiting.com are.
Think Globally, Rock Locally. The new working tagline. I think it’s cool. It’d look nice on a t-shirt, at least, with our skullxbones logo. And when you boil it all down, isn’t that what really matters.
One last thing: if you live in a city that’s not covered so far on donewaiting, and you think you’d want to start a column here, send me an e-mail and let’s try and work something out.
