Where did all this content come from?
We kidnapped the Guardian's Alex Petridis, locked him in a windowless room and kept him awake on methamphetamine until he'd written a massive archive for us. Well, actually we didn't (it probably wouldn't have been all that anyway). No, much of the content in fact comes from two websites: Overload Media and Musicalbear. Both have now run their course, but we've compiled the best of their archives here, along with a stack of freshly Spannered stuff.
I contributed to the sites you mention but I don't want my work on Spannered.
Oh dear, that's a shame. The site isn't here to profit from your work or anyone else's, but if you really don't want your contribution in the archive, please drop us a line about it.
Have some articles been edited since they last appeared online?
For readability's sake, yes, some items have been edited.
Items are missing from your archive.
The Spannered archive doesn't feature everything previously published on the Musicalbear and Overload Media sites — we've selected what we feel to be the prime cuts.
I would like to contribute.
Great. Although the site is essentially an archive project, we do add content now and then if something particularly grabs us. If you have an article, interview or other written content you would like to send us as an unsolicited contribution, or you're interested in writing for the site and would like to know more, please get in touch.
Can you pay me?
Sadly we can't pay for contributions as the site has no income.
I would like to send you music/books/films in the post.
Sure, please use the address below. Do bear in mind though, there isn't a regular turnaround of reviews on the site, but we do check out everything sent to us.
