"THIS IS THE DUBROOM (7)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, September 8 2009 - In a column like this one, on my messiandread.dubroom.org website, and on the forums I express my freedom of speech under my own name, while restraining myself into professional objectivity on another.

Obviously, I'm much more experienced in this than in the time I started to review over 12 years ago now. I had to learn to refrain from words like "I", for example.

Especially when I read the earlier album reviews, it produces a smile on my face and sometime it's so terrible that I write another review instead.

I will not very likely do that with articles, though. That would be literally falsification of history.

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

"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,

"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,

"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,
