I'm not so sure that we have the death of the album cover

I find now that I have been using MP3s dor nearly 10 years exclusively, that I'm more into the artwork. The only cds I remember look shinny or some nondescript colour from when they tried to spice cds up a little in the late 90s. Now I have rich collections of Artwork that I painstakingly find as high a quality jpg as I can find. I think Apple has successfully not only brought back Album art but so much so that you guys actually though it current enough to use 5 min of your show to talk about it. Yes album art was much more tactile, but it still has the visual quality CDs stole from our music. So at least for me, someone who has more visual acuity than anything else, I have made those associations you spoke about. It wasn't exactly fair to show them as little icons. To be fair, you can make the albums take up a good size of real estate on your screen.......so yes not a big album, but big enough.

I don't think the news segment adds anything. No insightful or funny commentry. It's usually old, and usually the top stories we've already seen.

Sarah on the prowl is consistantly good.

Moujan is hit and miss, mostly miss. Beards, OK. Historical slang, hilarious! Album covers? Meh...

Heather perhaps should talk about new bands, in a personal way that she does her picks. Bats for Lashes, was a good pick, if a little late.

Bring back Kirsten!

What´s the point of this show?...

The Point

PopSiren is the show where cool chicks redefine pop culture. Duh!

Actually, the show is too professional. If the audience (both guys and girls) felt like they were hanging out with the popSiren hosts, this show would be way more popular. That's why diggnation works. Shows like iFanboy and TRS have a huge nerd followings because of the subject matter. To a lesser extent, I believe Internet Superstar was having the same problems until a new format and the wacky genius of Marty and Jay turned things around. The slick layout of popSiren gives it a sterile feeling. Basically, Heather would be very good at her job (as producer) if this was regular television. Unfortunately, the audience of Internet TV isn't there yet. Most of us could care less about polish. We care about subject matter and the strong connection we feel to the various personalities which inhabit rev3. I'm not sure the live tapings are the answer to this either. Last time, after spending 3 hours watching the girls do the same segments over and over, I had little interest in watching the actual release. I watched the episode out of guilt. :(
This sucks cause I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of the taping, and will surely be there for the next one. However, I don't think this will actually improve ratings. Honestly I think the 3 of them sitting around talking about internet, music, and oddities would be cooler. Screw the the daily episodes and the extra graphics. Doing a more "on the fly" version for one 45 min episode would be awesome. That said, I have nothing but admiration for the girls of popSiren and will continue to watch through the tough times.

Nathan totally agree w/ everything you just said. I always think they way heather does her review of songs, reading her review off the teleprompter makes it seem unbelievable. I'm sure she just want to get the point across but it doesn't seem truthful

I hate to say it, but you may be right. I wasn't too thrilled when they changed format and dropped Jessica. I liked the idea of a co host as it gave them a chance to banter.




@Sarah

Thanks for recommending Emiliana Torrini! I totally love her voice. I'm gonna have to get some of her stuff.

Hey guys! It's great to hear your feedback, we really appreciate it. Just so you know, regarding physical host positions, we're a bit restricted since our set dimensions are on the small side. That being said, when we're not consumed with churning out the weekly show, Bites, etc., we're scheming and tweaking stuff to make the show that much bigger and better! So hopefully you'll be patient and stick with us, and thanks again for the constructive feedback!

I know you're busy producing but is there anyway you could film your segment on set so you could talk to Sarah before/afterwards like Moujan does?

It's kind of jarring to suddenly have you appear over the psychadelic background and it seems bit more formal than the Moujan and Sarah segments do which I think takes away a bit from something you're obviously passionate about.
