Why I love CreateDigitalMusic

Ever have a crappy morning where just everything upsets you and everything goes wrong? Somedays that happens and it's really damn average. To cheer myself up I was doing the rounds of my favourite sites, and I read this excellent article by Gary Kibler on CDM. And it almost immediately changed my mood and gave me pause for reflection. It was excellent timing and I certainly needed cheering up!

What I wanted to say though, was that what I love about CDM is it's inclusive and constant high quality of writing. Peter wrangles it and has invested massive time in it, and is an almost constant source of inspiration for me and my personal side projects. I've been involved from a design point of view for a while, so I'm not exactly impartial... That said, the reason I got involved in the start out of genuine respect for what it is that CDM has come to represent.

For me, I see it as most accessible and inclusive online music community online. The sarcasm mostly gets left at the door and you get earnest, funny and well written music coverage and intelligent comments. And that deserves recognition.

Well done Peter, and well done the other writers on CDM it's a constant source of inspiration and if you don't visit it already you should.
