FAO Joyrex - NME interview request

Hello.

My name's Joe Madden and I'm a freelance journo who's been commissioned by the NME to put together a one-page piece on the Caustic Window test-pressing story. I'd love to get a few words from yourself on the whole extraordinary situation.

If you could drop me a line at joe.madden2001@gmail.com that'd be great - we can conduct the interview via email, phone, IM, whatever you prefer.

Thanks

Joe

lol

this thread makes me want to dance intelligently

I've sent him a PM, but I'm posting this here as well, as I need to file the copy by midday tomorrow, so I'm getting his attention any and every way I can.

I'm not actually going to try and interview him via this forum.

I'm a freelanche publicist artist: It is rumoured that the copy is 'quite good'.

*flips table*

 

 

*kicks door open*

 

 

*storms out and slams door shut*

I must really be adamant about the correct usage of the word 'quite'

Ignore my PM then. It pretty much gives you his profile link and how to PM.

Joe, could you tell us why you are qualified to interview someone with such a high stature as JR? Have you ever interviewed anyone with his kind of status before? If you would like to run some sample questions by us we can help you come up with some good ones. We did a 7 day interview with another celebrity of almost equal status as JR, and we came up with high quality inquiries. You might suggest NME hire WATMM to conduct all their interviews in the future.

Bear in mind ol' Joyrex is in a US time zone so may not be checking this place out for an hour or so...

This is probably a fear for most professional journalists, the spectre of one day the industry moving to crowd sourced copy, that and algorithmically generated copy. Between the two, they'll end up being on less income than the unpaid struggling artists that they're employed to interview.

Isn't that sort of what an AMA is?

Sent Joe an email (and a PM). How exciting!
