Non-Linear Approach

For the non-linear project, I am going to use the template that you have offered us on the class website. I will have links, as directed, to my feature story on bands booking their first show, my audio story on the importance of social networking websites for local bands, my profile slideshow on Grant Menefee and his studio of drumming, two smaller articles, and a FAQ's page. I will also attempt to put Google Maps on my webpage that has directions from Towson University to local clubs and venues in the Baltimore/Metropolitan area that host live music on a nightly basis.

One of my smaller articles for the non-linear project will be based off of my blog post on the 8x10, and how it is a cornerstone for local bands and musicians in the Baltimore area. I will use some of the ideas and quotes that I had in my blog post, but I will add more information and details on how the 8x10 is one of the best local clubs for local bands in Baltimore.

My other small article is going to be on the Towson radio station WTMD. WTMD's station is in the basement of Towson University's Media Center, and they capture a unique eclectic sound with their playlists that is far different than your average radio stations nowadays that typically features hip-hop, country, and hard rock. WTMD also showcases a lot of Baltimore local bands through programs on their shows and concerts that they sponsor in the local area. I will try to talk to either someone that works at WTMD and helps with their events or a local band that has been featured on WTMD, such as The Cheaters or 3Fifths.
