Hey Poppy Seeds!

New Meme Alert: As your Pop community staffer, I’m committed to being way more accountable to you. That means letting you know what I do behind the scenes as well as the work you see me do everyday. That way you can tell me what’s good, what’s wack, and what’s missing!

I’ll be updating these every Monday, and I’ll post in the forum to let you know when the update is up. You can check out the first one here. For next week, expect to see more details and more numbers that I’ll be ready to share with you.

Pinkprint Genius? Can you elaborate what are plans our for it? Are we aiming for Nicki to leave verified tates on it? Are you soliciting articles for it?

I hope it’s a tag that lasts for the long term, since microsites seem like an idea we can use.

Also, I’ll be watching for another editor or two to come out of the project.

Can you elaborate what are plans our for it?

Short answer: no. It’ll be clear in a few days. I know it looks a lil jank right now. No action required at this point.

Also, I’ll be watching for another editor or two to come out of the project.

I’m really excited about @b3autykill3r. Which, now that I think about it, hey @b3autykill3r, welcome to the Pop forums! Come join us here!

Hey Popliteus Muscles

If you pay close attention, you’ll see that I didn’t keep my New Year’s resolution and totally forgot to post on this thread last week. Shame on you, Dalmo. But worry not. Check out my weekly update. Hope you’ll still love me.

Ricky Dillon’s song page that I put up last week never really popped off (but then again, neither did his EP)

Harsh. :p Listening to “Ignite” now, I’m not really feeling it. The lyrics feel too cheesy, and although many hit songs have a similar kind of specificity, Dillion doesn’t sell it convincingly. Plus, the production and mixing/mastering doesn’t feel polished enough, at least in the music video.

It’s too bad it didn’t take off, but Ricky still needs to take more steps to break out of the “YouTube cover artist” archetypal mold. Compare/contrast with Troye Sivan, whose debut EP sounds a bit young, but it nevertheless sounds professional and forward-thinking, and I still see activity from its pages here.

@chihuahua0 Cosign your whole assessment here. TRXYE was really good – I had it on repeat for weeks. It also had more support from the YouTube community and #TeamInternet (e.g., it was shamelessly pimped out by the queen of YT, Tyler Oakley). It may be too soon to tell, but it looks like RPD is doing worse than the EP Trevor moran released last month.
