Spotlight Of The Day
The Gigometer now puts a spotlight on one (and only one)
performer each day --in bold type in the text version, and with a spotlight icon in the GUI version.
The selection criteria (subject to arbitrary interpretation and temporary mood)
are roughly:
- The selected performers are (one of) the most interesting for the day. Not necessarily
the "best", but they are worthy of attention by someone who is not familiar with them.
- Single performer/band. No tributes, parties, in-the-round, special guests, and the like.
- Music only. No burlesque, movies, readings.
- No well-known performers, except in very odd circumstances. No high-priced concerts.
- Touring or rarely-performing bands get higher priority.
- Local bands that have been spotlighted recently get lower priority.
- Performers within a stronger line-up get higher priority.
- Performers at a better, smaller, more accessible venue get higher priority.
- Luck of the draw: Some days it's hard to select only one, some days it's hard to select even one,
but that's the way it is.
