Welcome back to school, my fellow music snobs. You may notice you’re reading this on a screen, as opposed to out of a newsstand, or off the restroom floor at the 1140 building—pretty neat, huh? Over the summer, we held some focus groups with students, faculty, and other people in the music/journalism realm, yielding hundreds of interviews to get some insight into what The Groove should be, and how we can be both relevant and vital to mainly the student body, but also the entire Berklee community. We couldn’t really do that with a biweekly print publication…

That’s where you come in. We’ve got this cool site now, so the vehicle is in place. We’re uploading the past several years onto our archive (The Groove was established in 1997, it’s going to take a while…), so you can scroll through old articles, leave comments, search for your band’s name, etc.

And as usual, we’re always reviewing shows, interviewing visiting artists and touring acts, and aggregating everything Berklee—but we need you to hip us to what’s going in your life, and your career. Bring us your CD so we can publish a review and you can post the link on your website. Tell us about your shows so we can add them to our calendar. We’d be happy to cover your endeavors, but if you want to buy an ad space, or know someone who does, click on the Advertising tab at the top of this page. Like I said—pretty neat.

Our office is located in the Student Activities Center. Come by and say hello, and I hope this semester is a productive and inspiring one for you.
