Interview the 2,000+ Bands Attending SXSW and Get $50/band from AOL

I can’t see myself reading any of this, but I could be wrong.

AOL is trying its most ambitious super-content project yet with freelance content site Seed.com: offering 2,000 $50 assignments on SXSW bands for its music site Spinner.com. New Seed programming director Saul Hansell sees it as the “perfect chance” to showcase reporting and journalism along with what Seed can do for sites within AOL. The basics: Spinner and Seed are recruiting U.S. “reporters” to interview all 2,000 bands for a Q&A and bio in advance of the March Festival. That doesn’t mean they’re looking for professional writers or even music experts, although they may get some of each. (full story)

Looks like Spinner is making a big play to have a lot of random content about all the bands in advance of SXSW. You know who else has a lot of content about all the bands? Google.
