"THIS IS THE DUBROOM (6)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, September 7 2009 - The Dubroom reviews (DUB) Reggae Music. All the reviewed material is at least considered "fair", which means that everything you can find here is considered to be a serious suggestion for your next addition to your Reggae collection.

The choice for the reviews is made on a number of conditions, most of which can be found in the FAQ section of the Dubroom on ask.dubroom.org.

When I write for the Babylon Observer, or when I write a review, I will restrain myself obviously more than when I write under my own name.

I have come to learn, that most people overstand and apprecilove this way of working. They know this to be a way for me to express my freedom of speech on one place, where I have and want to show professional objectivity on another one.

One Love, Give Thanks,
Messian Dread (Dubroom Webmaster)

"THIS IS THE DUBROOM (5)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, September 6 2009 - The upholding of the tradition that (DUB) Reggae and Consciousness are connected goes hand in hand with the independent nature of the Dubroom, which is reflected in the way the site is presented.

In this column, on my website messiandread.dubroom.org, on the Message Boards, that is where I will speak my own opinion.

Opinions, even, which I know are not necessarily shared by everyone who is also keeping up with the tradition that (DUB) Reggae and Consciousness are connected.

So I have to keep certain opinions for my own space, and not have them drive, for example, my choice of music to review.

One Love, Give Thanks,
Messian Dread (Dubroom Webmaster)

"THIS IS THE DUBROOM (4)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, September 5 2009 - The Dubroom keeps up with the tradition that connects (DUB) Reggae and Consciousness, while maintaining a very necessary independence to continue this position.

It drives the choice for material to review, obviously. On top of that, it also drives the way everything is presented on the site.

In this column, for example, I allow myself to write from a personal perspective.

I will however not do that without stating specifically that I am stating my own ideas here.

A thing you can see in the fact that under each column you can read how it contains my own opinion and not necessarily that of the Dubroom as a whole.


One Love, Give Thanks,

"THIS IS THE DUBROOM (3)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, September 4 2009 - Another aspect that identifies the nature of the Dubroom, next upholding the tradition that (DUB) Reggae and Consciousness are connected, is the independent nature of this site.

This independence is very important, as it is the guarantee that the music which is reviewed on the Dubroom is actually considered worthy to be presented to the average listener of (DUB) Reggae Music.

It's also the guarantee that conscious topics are approached without any organization or (religious) group of any kind being able to push their agenda.

A website which is completely in the hands of a bigger corporation, is obviously not independent. But a website where the content is actually user-driven, in other words a website where everyone can do everything, is also not independent.

One Love, Give Thanks,
