Talk:Daytrotter

Reasons against deletion:
evidence of blog award: http://www.heynielsen.com/blog/2007/12/best-music-blog-winners.html evidence of downloads: viewable on the sites page, on the right side — oac old american century talk @ 01:18, 25 December 2007 (UTC) (copied from main article to here)
 * This is not necessarily about a blog, rather an in-studio collaborative that includes notable musicians (to be listed, still working on it) Its notabilitiy could be verified with its winning of best blog, and it also has served close to two million of its recorded projects.
 * This is technically a record label / publisher, they seem to have part-ownership over the recordings posted on their page.
 * The above comment is not mine. I simply moved it here.  I cleaned up the article a bit for wiki standards.  The site does seem notable enough, to me, to warrant keeping the article.  Many other articles should be up for deletion before this one.  Hopefully the creator of this article will chime in soon with a list of notable musicians who have worked in the studio.  This isn't a candidate for speedy delete, at best it warrants genuine discussion on its notability.— oac old american century  talk @ 01:25, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, the list of notable musicians could be included in the article to expand on the site's notability.— oac old american century talk @ 01:28, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

^All taken from Daytrotter - Session Archives All of the above have publications on popular indie record labels, or are connected to their artists. A relevant act can be defined by them going on a national tour, which most have to some extent. The mentioned artists with a * next to them are emerging to some extent, but are part of a collaborative popular in the Washington area of which I cannot remember the name, but the two acts have gone on national tour. Also, the above acts without stars have at least 1,000 listeners on Last.fm, a popular music networking site; evidence can be obtained by searching their names, and seeing the listener amount. Another questionable artist is Vampire Weekend, although they will release an album on XL Records in January '08. source: XL Records (official) - Vampire Weekend.

Daytrotter itself finds alot of artists before they become popular or so they claim in their first paragraph on this page: Daytrotter - About. Also, in the mentioned paragraph, they speak condescendingly of sites that simply expose new acts, they capture their essence "live" with no pressure of a stage, or studio album. The act of them recording artists diferentiates them from a typical recomendations blog. Daytrotter can be called an organization, or collaborative, etc. The website portion is just a delivery vessel for the music, I intend to add this information to the first paragraph.

Requested Article
I'm going to pull this out of Requested_articles, any objections? Kevinebaugh (talk) 00:50, 3 January 2008 (UTC) No objection, thanks. Nnnudibranch (talk) 03:14, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Long list of artists
What's the point of the long list? Can't we just point to the website's own list? —johndburger 15:02, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
