Communication, Press and PR

[big screen satellite]

So, we have Dirty.org & this forum site for us chatty fans, and then we have the UWlive site, which i know a lot of us check every single day, and we also have the wonderful lemon broadcasts but...

Other than the snippets of obscure news that Karl broadcasts in his weblogs or radio shows we are, I feel, a bit in the dark about releases, publicity and things like Press that UW does, until someone finds a bit of info and lets us know via the forums...

It's usually only after the event we find out what happened or is happening.

Now, this may all be deliberate on UW's behalf, but i'd like to think that such a forward thinking band would be willing to set up some kind of communication channel to the fans...and let us into the world of whats going on a bit more. (maybe i'm asking too much, i want a release schedule !)

We know some releases are coming, but other than that its all a bit vague, and has been for some time, when a release (like RRP) does crop up its usually pretty well advertised here or at Dirty.otg, but things like the Resident Advisor interview, i think we should be 'advised' about in advance, so we can head over there and read all about it.

After all UW, know what interviews they have done, and someone else 'leaks' info to places like teletext and other online channels, often well before we on the 'unofficial official fan site' get to hear of them...

Does UW have a PR / Press rep? I know Steve at JBO used to handle a lot of the issues regarding physical releases...

Maybe they are still getting their 'shit' together, and i know a lot of things are going on in the world of the Underworld, but I feel UW need someone to communicate with US here a bit more...

I'm not moaning about this (as you know, that i hate that ) its just I wonder why sometimes we are the last to know about some things...

I know a lot of the RA interview was known already but other bits were more revealing, and without wanting to scoure every source every day i'd like to think we could be pointed in the right direction now and again.

Any info would be most appreciated boys, unless you want to let me know, and i'll pass it on via a dedicated page
