How to get your music reviewed on Headphone Commute
At this time, Headphone Commute will not accept any unsolicited promotional material. We are deeply apologetic for this decision. There’s nothing worse, than having packages pile up on our desks which never get a chance to be heard. Similarly, we don’t want to make you sad by never replying to your messages. If you’re an artist or a label, you can still send us an email about your music at 
, but we can’t promise that we’ll get a chance to hear it. And again, please don’t be upset if we don’t reply! This decision about accepting promos is not final, and may change in a near future, depending our workload. We hope you understand where we’re coming from, and again, we’re sorry for the news.

Am very happy to discover this magazine. Quite frankly I have been looking for some time for a credible publication that handles electronic and ambient music and already in the short time I have spent hear I have learnt about many a new project, including some involving some of my favourite artists.
This is merely a message to thank you for what you have done for me. You have given me an extended amount of music to enjoy during the motions of life and while I do not share this thirst for background music to life with anyone I have realized that I can share it with you. I have yet to convince anyone that music can make staring out a window at night an euphoric event. One of the most exciting moments in my life is upcoming, however now delayed, with a train ride in northern Norway. The most daunting part will be what music will occupy my mind and for that I can earnestly thank you.
I read a book recently called “The Elegance of the Hedgehog.” The book is made up of journal entries and a portion of it is called “Journal of the Movement of the World.” The whole book is wonderful but this portion I think you would appreciate most. This section of the book finds some of the least appreciated (or dwelled on) movements of mankind (for example, an olympic diver executing a dive) and drips the extraordinary out of them. These journal entries, like a lot of the music you promote, can make one notice the minute beauty veiled underneath the commotion of day.
I often hear the argument, as I am sure do you, that a lot of the music you support comes across as boring, bland, uninspired or, my personal favourite, “I could make this” and to get caught up in that is truly missing the point.
Thank you again for helping me adore the movements of life,
Matt
Many an hour i’ve spent listening to what HC has to offer, and it’s been quite a ride.
Thank you, and please continue.
Hi!
I was sitting in a Internet-Cafe in Sydney when in the background a mix of yours has been playing. It is difficult to explain what kind of feelings the music had been creating on me. I am still just amazed about it.
Thanks a lot

the sound postcards are interesting, as is the is the discovery of headphone commute. perhaps i can make something for you later in the year as the children are pretty time consuming at present. but ive at least five o six hours a day for household chores and making music for films, records and concerts.
be well and calm

Don’t really have words to describe all the great music your site has introduced me to. And thats a big word considering I have been listening to and researching new music for over 15 years. Love the variety and no rating approach. Thank for all the time and effort this must take!
Hi,
Been listening to the headphone commute mixes for a while now, sometimes on constant replay, deeply loving them. I just had to make a mix dedicated to the site, so here it is:

Hope you like it!

I happened to attend a random soundsystem appearance in Sydney on Sunday afternoon. I had my camera with me, and I have a Sound Postcard for you.

Hi there,
I think you should give a negative review every once in a while. That way, all your positive reviews would have more validity.
I recommend reviewing Justin Bieber’s latest album. That shouldn’t be hard to give a negative review too.
Thank you.

Haha! Funny… I always meant for Headphone Commute to be more of a recommendation site, rather than a review forum. I don’t really feel like criticizing anyone, because it never ends up being a positive thing. That being said, there are more than a few dozen pop artists that I’d love to rip apart on here. But then again, I barely have the time to share with you all of the great music, so why waste my breath? :)
Just wanted to let you know that I kept seeing reviews by “Headphone Commute” on iTunes, and that they are always very well written and informative. I was not aware of this actual site here, but kept stumbling across the iTunes reviews as I used iTunes to download quality music by many of the bands toward whom we apparently share a mutual interest. (I always take a few seconds to check “Yes” when it asks if the review was helpful or not, by the way; because like I said, they are always so well written and informative). Reading the review for the album “Sea,” by “Last Days,” I realized that there was an actual website from whence these reviews come. I have subsequently bookmarked this site as a “Favorite.” Keep up the outstanding work!
what i am I listening to? apparently much of the same stuff that you are. i appreciate that you post to discogs too, cause they need more good reviews rather than trainspotter “DJ” review nonsense. i was going to say a few words about surrounded by silence myself, but i think you captured it just fine.
just a note to say spot on, and keep up the great work.
Did a little write up on your blog, here: http://coilhouse.net/2009/08/19/drifiting-away-with-headphone-commute
Keep it up!

Thanks very much for your “Best of 2008″ article (and for all the listening, sifting, and considering it represents). I’m delighted for these leads to artists and music I wouldn’t otherwise know about. For example, right now I’m soaking in Jóhann Jóhannsson’s _Fordlandia_. Oh man, this by itself gives your opinions instant cred with me! :-)
HI!
My is name is Esteban from Washington DC. Just wanted to drop a line and mention that your site is great and the name “Headphone Commute” is perfect. The music on here pretty much sums up exactly what i look for when shuffling through my iPod on my daily commute. Thanks and keep up the good work! Have purchased most of the music you review here because your suggestions never cease to be great.
Maybe when I finish my EP i’ll send it to you guys for a quick listen and maybe you’ll like it.
Best,
Esteban
