If you missed the update a few days ago or wondered why music posts have been single and completely different lately, it's because we are revamping the entire music system. New reviewers, new quality requirements, and a brand new music writer! With that, comes a change to the old "Music of the Day".
Technically, Music of the Day was originally just a test. We wanted to see how well a post would do if we basically removed the majority of quality requirements. You weren't going to find things that sounded like they were recorded at the bottom of the ocean on a microphone from the 1900's, but it did drop the quality bar far further than anything else on the site. It was going to be temporary, but grew it's own little culture that we didn't want to remove, so we stuck with it. It also had some stuff that was pretty much spotlight in it but were rejected for different reasons (Primarily how "pony" it was), which confused people.
Fast forward to today, and we are going to change the level of quality that can enter this style of post and change it to "Bonus Music". It's going to be a lot higher quality than Music of the Day was, but still open to newer people that have had a few songs and practice under their belts. Some of the sillier things that would appear there will probably pop up in roundups.
Spotlights with single songs are still going to be the best of the best from music review here, but this is a good "bonus" for anyone looking for more music to play with!
Anyway, get your first Bonus Music below!
