Synthesis Video CD Reviews: A Writer’s Worst Nightmare
Posted on 30. Apr, 2008 by Daniel Taylor in Music, Videos
What you see here is the very first of our soon-to-be-ubiquitous Video CD Reviews, with Synthesis marketing maverick Cayle "Ride of Game" Hunter reviewing the new Hail of Bullets CD. I just did the second one, which should be finding its way to our YouTube channel tomorrow on New Found Glory's new Greatest Hits CD HITS, and though its all well and good to be a part and parcel of the new video revolution taking hold of the web, I'd much rather take the time to sit down and write a CD review out then have to sit in front of two cameras like a spokesmodel and try to be witty on the spot without slumping too far into a chair, and try not to look lost when I'm pretending to be hearing the music coming out of the stereo that won't be added in until long after I've finished filming. But hey, fuck it! If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. After all, the few hundred CD reviews I've written over the years on Synthesis.net put together probably haven't even gotten half the views as one of Video Matt's Paramore interviews, so I guess I better brush up on my enunciation and posture and get ready for my protracted, archived and cached 15 minutes of semi-fame. SIGH...
I like it.
