411: About

The Gist
We write about music happenings in rock and roll, noise, punk, electronic and, sometimes, mainstream hip-hop/rap. Aside from album reviews, concert reviews, interviews, band spotlights, and so forth, there will be posts about film and culture jamming/shocking in the form of comedy, opinion, and incendiary readings.

Want to write with K.L.Y.A.M.?E-mail klyamemail@gmail.com or AIM Gmags2005

Music Submission: Somebody will review whatever you have to send so yes please send whatever you want to the e-mail or screen name above. Again: klyamemail@gmail.com.  We really really really enjoy listening to music, so please don’t hesitate. We will get back to you and let you know that we successfully received whatever you sent (if we plan on doing a post…or sometimes regardless). Okay, cool!
**07/11 Update: Recently, there have been more submissions than we’ve been able to keep up with! In the KLYAM spirit of posting only what we genuinely are interested in and enjoy, we may be guilty of the high crime of neglecting to post a bit about your band. On some other websites, they say take a look around and see the type of stuff posted before hitting send. This isn’t 100% applicable to KLYAM. Here is an inside secret to getting posted on KLYAM: look at the kinds of bands that the contributors post. Slap an old ATTN: tag in the subject line of your e-mail. This will work out best.
