Clean Nice Quiet: Dylan: Infidels (Side A)

Somewhat Snide Submission Guidelines

1. Submit a Bandcamp, Soundclound, or Youtube link to matt at clean nice quiet dot com. All genres considered, but feel free to take a look at previous posts to get a feel for what I generally feature. That being said, I've got a wide palette and will give anything a chance, if properly presented (see #2 below).
2. Moving forward, CNQ will mostly only post music that is publicly streaming and easily embeddable. A download or private stream is nice, but if it's not easily sharable, or not ready for release, I probably won't post about it. If your single or album does not release until December 31, 2027, then please let me know at the beginning of your long ass e-mail. If you don't at least have an easily embeddable link to a previous work for me to share along with the news about your brilliant new forthcoming release, then just get back to me when the release is out and you have something to present to the class. No one wants to read me ramble about a single or an album that they can't immediately click on and decide for themselves if they like it or not.
3. The more concise the e-mail, the more likely I'll be to listen to the music. Band or artist name, location, *brief* background info, genre, and name of the single/album is all I need. A quote or two from a critic about how brilliant the songs are is fine, but that press packet you made is ridiculous. I never open that file, gang. Maybe somebody else besides your mom does, but I don't.
4. I may or may not get back to you, but feel free to reach out again with another release, or even the same release some time later, I may have missed it the first time. However, spamming CNQ every day is inadvisable.
