Because, like, WTF even is a music blahg, amirite? ESPECIALLY if they stop accepting music submissions.
The HI54 Submithub queue had switched to only being open for new submissions on Mondays, but… at the moment, I’m actually just on a total music submission break in general (extended until April 2022). Read this blog post for more info if you’re interested in the whys & hows.
It's not all broken hearts and rejections over on SubmitHub. For example, here's an ongoing collection of all the songs that have made it past the HI54 submission firewall and over onto the blog.
“Submithub is like my ears Firewall, so once a track I like gets past that, it ends up in my regular rotations— because what’s the point of finding stuff you like if all you do is just keep looking for more stuff?”
“If you want to try and have a rational conversation about Submithub, which is no easy task, there are two important things that need to be kept in mind right from the beginning, otherwise the discussion quickly heads down illogical ego-driven roads that are near impossible to turn around from. So let’s start there…”
“HI, here’s FIVE counterpoints FOR those people out there who think Submithub is an example of everything that is wrong with the music industry (it’s not).”
Near the end of 2019, I started experimenting with closing my Submithub queue for a full ten days before opening it again for another four… and I’ll be damned if the blog/work/life balance hasn’t felt a whole lot more balanced ever since.
It was February, 2018 and I had recently started fielding music submissions from a service that promised the rarest of rare music industry promises: music blog haz income stream?
