Do you love music? Do you consider yourself "in-the-know" when it comes to the local scene, music history, your favorite genres, or what "the kids" are listening to these days?

Do you find you have a lot of great ideas but not as many places to put them?

Even better — do you already have some experience writing for a newspaper, magazine, or blog?

Are you generally witty and reliable, with a solid handle on the sort of stuff people want to read about — more specifically, what the people of South Florida want to read about?
