Why Blue Coupe?
We cast around for a long time -- perhaps using
more energy than such an endeavor might be thought to be
worth -- for a name that had a good, solid memorable sound,
but that didn't automatically attach itself to anything
specific. Blue Coupe had a memorable sound that
seemed to evoke many types of music without talking to a
specific one.
Another good reason: the dot com was available when we went
to register it!
And, in case you're wondering: it has nothing at all to
do with cars.
Why can't I find the magazine's
mailing address on the site?
Because it's not here. Including the magazine's
snail mail address makes us too place specific. Blue
Coupe 's only real home is here in cyberspace. We're
about music not boundaries. In a perfect world, music
doesn't even have those. E-mail is the best way to get hold
of any of our team members. Check the contact
page for the address you're looking for.
Why can't I find the magazine's
telephone number of the site?
To be honest, if we included the telephone number,
people would call us. And if people were calling us all the
time, we'd never get any CDs reviewed or artists
interviewed! Also, we work really weird hours -- Web hours
-- and it's much easier to reach us via e-mail. You can
consult our masthead to see where
you should address specific queries.
How do I get the e-mail address of
an artist that you've interviewed or profiled?
Not from us. In very rare cases, an artist will ask
us to include their e-mail address or a link to their
personal Web site with the piece that we run. When they ask,
we always do. However, if it isn't on the site to begin
with, we either don't have their e-mail address, the artist
in question doesn't have one, or we aren't in a position to
release it.
I've recorded a CD. Will you interview
me or review the CD?
Maybe. All of the CDs we review and the artists we
interview are chosen because one of our writers or editors
had a strong interest in the subject or the person. That's
why you don't get a lot of apathy at Blue
Coupe: we approach all of this with a very real
passion. In other words, with all other elements in place,
we're certainly open to interviewing you about your music.
Contact the editor
via e-mail.
How can I find out about what's new
on Blue Coupe without having to come to the
site every day?
You can subscribe
to our free e-mail updates. We send an e-mail update every
few weeks.
When did Blue Coupe
begin publication?
Blue Coupe went into soft launch in March of
2000. We were online but in beta and keeping a low profile.
Our official "hard" launch
date was June 29, 2000.
Why isn't the question that I
need to have answered included in this FAQ?
The FAQ is a new and growing project for us. If
we've overlooked your question, add it here and we'll try to
answer it with the next update. If the answer you're looking
for isn't here, e-mail our own wise
oracle for an answer.
