Talk:Listen (TQ album)

Listen? Magazine; www.listenzine.com is a free local publication is Salt Lake City built from the ground up with nothing but $70.00 and a large Volunteer Staff. Listen? Magazine was founded by Ryan (DUTCH) Van Seters in part with Shane Flox, Justin (dingo), DK, Matthew Hawkins, Dave Anderson, Justin Knutson, and other faithful Volunteers. Listen? derived its name from and experience Dutch had while driving home after being discharged from the navy. Dutch's sister, Teasa, died of a drug overdose the day before he was supposed to leave for bootcamp. Despite the overwhelming pleadings of friend and family Dutch deployed directly after the funeral. Thinking of nothing more than the loss of his sisters life, Dutch created Listen? as a forum for creation. "The only reason my sister and I were so close is because I listened, I listened without compromise, without judgment, without spewing out shallow solutions to complex problems. Listening is something utilized little when needed, we shout when shouted at, and shut up when we need to shout. So the question is, "Listen?" Should you? Could you? Will you? Do you?" In 2002 Listen? released its first publication titled "Drugs in Salt Lake." Within two weeks 10,000 issues where off the shelves of every distributor. Listen disassembled for many years, fighting the Plagiarism of many other publisher and just recently announced their "re-birth" into the culture of Salt Lake. "Little has changed," Dutch says, "where still free, we still focus on content over advertisements, we still remain unbiased publishing the work of fledgling and professional artists alike, we're still reliant on Volunteers. If anything we're passionate than before, really coming out with gloves on, specifically when it comes to the web. Our website, listenzine.com is really our showcase; giving people an even larger opportunity to share their thoughts and works freely." 67.164.194.160 02:43, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
