Talk:Main Page

Add notes/comments to any discussions on this page. From time to time I, or whoever feels the page has gotten overcommented, will condense discussions down to a consesus view. The purpose of this page is to toss out ideas and to document current best practices for the FBFT (though that seems like it should exist on it's own page...we'll have to figure that out).

Kid Jonny Lang et al

Someone posted something asking whether or not Jonny Lang should be added. Unless you're really set on adding him to the FBFT, I don't think it's worth the effort. Jonny Lang may have been a Fargo musician, but I don't think he really fits the bill for the FBFT. FBFT has slowly developed to cover primarily rock music of the independent variety in genres ranging from punk to metal to indie to screamo to even some hippie/folksy stuff. It seems to me that despite his origin, he was never really even involved with the music in these "scenes" no matter how wide we cast our nets.

Re:above - While I have no more love for Johnny Lang than anyone else and would rather he not be included, in the interest of maintaining a professional air about this, and following the rather loose rules set forth [a band or musician, from this area], shouldn't a page be made for him anyway? This is supposed to be a collectively maintained, accurate database of Fargo/Moorhead musicians, not just "Fargo/Moorhead musicians that I like." Besides, stuff like this [how much he sucks] could be dealt with in the discussion tab of the page.

Thank you

First off, thank you for visiting the FBFT and (hopefully) taking part in its growth. Sitting here and looking over it (mind you we're only up to L as I write this), I'm floored at the number of bands (125+ counting in the 90s alone) and the depth of all of it. We've seen many, if not most of these bands, but I don't think any of us were aware of how massive this actually is... hell, who would've thunk that Chad James wasn't the only person to have played in 40 million bands? It's massive folks!

Flyers

any thoughts on putting up relevant flyers?
