OTR web site



To all:
Linford, Stacie, and myself are developing the new Over The Rhine
web site. As list participants and the most web-savvy of their fans,
your insights are valuable.

The new site promises to be "beautiful, poetic, and capable of
MOVING PRODUCT." (Roadside farmer's market meets e-commerce!)
Features will [hopefully] include the complete discography with
short sound excerpts, a full product catalog with online ordering
capabilities, all CD lyrics, images, and liner notes, a timeline/history/FAQ
of the band, current news, concert schedule, and a bunch of other stuff.

Also under consideration is a members-only (fan club) section with
merchandise specials, monthly giveaways, song chords, MP3 files
of demos and out takes, and occasional online chats with band members.

Questions:
1. What type of things would keep you (as a discussion list participant)
     visiting the site on a regular basis?
2. What on the site would help first time visitors? (We're aiming for
     the upcoming Junkies tour.)
3. Do you know of other band sites that are especially well done?

Please send your thoughts directly to me at the below address, with
"OTR web" somewhere in the subject. List postings are okay, too.
All comments and suggestions are welcome.

thanks,
Eric King
