The categories are only provided as a guide for listener convenience. Of course, you are free to sample music across all categories. Unfortunately, we can't effectively cover every genre of music in the world, so we have limited our coverage to those areas that our participating writers and musicians have the greatest expertise. We feel that there are probably many web sites out there that can cover other genres better than we could and we would not be doing you a favor by covering your favorite music genre poorly. Since we are physically located in Greenwich Village we can provide the best coverage of the village and the surrounding areas in New York City.
Sites located in LA and other places are probably better capable of handling their local artists.
Yes, however, there will be some UMO Music events that occur in the Village, that may not be possible for you to attend. In fact, we are considering whether there should be a separate membership category for those who would not be able to take advantage of some of those events. As soon as that question is answered we will post the information on the web site. If you have questions, comments, or complaints please contact us at UMO so that we can make improvements. We will attempt to answer all correspondence as quickly as possible.
