Perfect Porridge FAQ:
What is this?
A news and review Web site covering music, film, literature and art, in addition to new media marketing and whatever else floats our boat. We’re based in Minneapolis, MN, although we cover national and international music and news.

Why Perfect Porridge?
So you’re asking yourself, “How hard can it be to make porridge?” It’s actually extremely difficult. But this ain’t no recipe site, so let’s leave it at that.

What kind of content do you cover?
National, regional and local record labels and artists send advance albums and include us on their media lists for shows, and we do our best to pound out album, live reviews and Minneapolis-based news in a timely manner. We mostly fail but do get around to everything eventually.

How can I get my band’s material reviewed? How can I get you to come to my concert? How can I get my gallery opening, poetry slam or double dutch competition listed and reviewed? How do I contact you directly?
You can e-mail us at greg (at) perfectporridge.com. PR pitches welcomed. Or be sure to note our mailing address below if that’s all you need.
