Instead of this "forum" serving as another board, it could be more of a showcase for artists "approved" by the Okay community through a democracy. People could vote on artists from a selection of many. Similar to how The Runners from the True Notes contest were being spotlighted, but a rotating selection of artists that runs continuously.

This could work well in streamlining the "discovery" process for any up and coming OkayArtists as well, such as Little Brother and Nicolay. Sort of like an online talent show and you could have some interactive commentary and judging as well with different OKP's running the thing under the watchful eye of the OkayPolitburo.

Sort of a staging area for OkayRecords potentials and for anyone else popping in who wants to check out what's left-of-center in the music universe.
