How do I find reviews of new releases, interviews and columns? Your best bet is to merely scroll down on the index/splash/first page of the site (the page you see when you first get to the site), scroll down and the most recent reviews, interviews and columns are listed right there. Click on the review, interview or column you are looking for. Once you get to that page, if it's a review, either the review is the first one or it is on the page below if you scroll down. Read the line in small print that says says: Scroll down for reviews of the latest from... Scroll down and you likely will find the review. If it's an interview or column, it should be right there. If you are still having problems, feel free to e-mail us.

How do I find reviews of older releases, interviews and columns? If it's an older release, your best bet is to click on music reviews, interviews and columns on the left side navigation bars and search by alphabetical order of artist or column name. Once you get to the alphabetical listing, scroll down until you find the review, interview or column you are looking for and click on the review, interview or column. Once you get to that page, if it's a review, either the review is the first one or it is on the page below. Read the line in small print that says: Scroll down for reviews of the latest from... Scroll down and you likely will find the review. If it's an interview or column, it should be right there. You can also use the Search Box. If you are still having problems, feel free to e-mail us.

How do I contact Fufkin? Go to the ontact us page by clicking on the left side navigation bar. There, you will find e-mail addresses of all the writers and a post office mailing address. Also, here you will find the submission policy. Our submission policy is that we will attempt to listen to everything sent to us. We can never guarantee a review. If you are referred by someone, please indicate. There is *no need* to send an e-mail asking if we are interested. Actually, please refrain from doing so. I'll just send the address listed at the contact us page which is Fufkin.com, P.O Box 7420, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33338-7420. If you are a publicist, please send an e-mail describing your artists. We have a relationship with some quality publicity firms, and we have found that some of our best music and content comes from those relationships. We get 1000s of hits a day from around the world and can help you. Consider adding us to your promo list. If you have any questions, please contact us. For the indie artists, we know it is expensive to send CD-Rs, but we just get too much music to do anything other than to consider CD-Rs or manufactured CDs. As such, we don't review mp3s and we don't visit websites to download mp3s.

Where do I find these amazing recommended releases? Well, anything that is independent pop and rock we would suggest the online retailers notlame.com, parasol.com, milesofmusic.com, bomp.com, the artists directly or your quality neighborhood independent music retailer. For other categories, we suggest independent music stores only, no chains. Eventually, we want to publish a list of the best indie music retailers in the US and world. Some off the top of my head are Amoeba in Los Angeles and Berkeley, California, New World Record in Buffalo, New York and scores of others. Please e-mail us with names, addresses and phone numbers of your favorite retailers from around the world. It will become a part of our Recommendations page. Remember that major retailers like Best Buy and major chains are attempting in a real manner to force indie online and brick and mortar shops out of business. Saving a dollar by buying at Best Buy may cause the extinction of being able to find the music we love. I for one don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for a rare CD from some guy on eBay in 20 years. Our indie online and brick and mortar retailers need our support. If any of our online retailers can't help you, e-mail us. We know a lot of very knowledgable people who either own or can find anything. We are glad to help as a public service. This whole site is a public service really.

I bought a CD from a guy in Helsinki in the Classified Forum. He never sent it. What do I do? I can't answer that. Fufkin.com can't be responsible for any transactions on the boards. We just want to have a place for people to get together and get along. Common sense is merely to be careful and have fun.

I met a guy in the Classified Forum. He seemed nice, I gave him my e-mail and IM addresses and then he started stalking me online. What do I do?

Again, we don't have any control over who visits us and Fufkin.com cannot be responsible for anyone or anything that happens as a result of anyone you meet or have contact with through this site. We guard everyone's privacy. We never share any info at any time for any reason. The only way to guard against problems is to never give out your e-mail, postal address or phone number until you are absolutely sure that you want to do that. Never meet someone in a private place. Bring a female friend. Bring a large male friend. Your Mom. Just don't go alone. You get it. There are many suggestions on the internet for how to guard yourself and still meet nice people online and there is not enough space to list it here. Just be careful and have fun. I have met so many wonderful people from around the world because of Fufkin. There is no reason why all of you can't be friends.
