Good luck but the world is saturated towards overflow right now...
and it should prove QUITE frustrating.  How about forming a pirate
radio station instead?  The Robinhood people in Baltimore are starting
a local free new music publication, btw, maybe you could help them?

J.D. is a mediocre writer (much like his friends).  Why doesn't
he hang it up and get a real job?

Because we the record buyers are paying the overhead for promos,
that's why.  Most critics write pretty meaningless drivel to help
enhance their egos.  Personally, I'd rather have a well-educated "describer"
than a critic.   This is one of the reasons I like Sound Choice
over the overpriced, less copy/density "Musician".
