Willson Everybody Needs a SiDEKiCK – www.SpokaneSiDEKiCK.com – Volume 1, Issue 14 – Thursday, December 21st, 2006 – The Spokane SiDEKiCK – Page 3 Hello loyal SiDEKiCK readers and welcome to our listener profi le classifi cation system – a fun, subjective and somewhat ridiculous breakdown of musical styles. Along with every article on upcoming concerts, you’ll notice a graphic of one of our listener profi les below. We’ve identifi ed seven different musical stereotypes in order to give readers a better idea of shows that might interest them in a quick, easy and entertaining way. Whatever graphic is found in the yellow circle accompanying an article is the type of listener who, we feel, might enjoy that particular performance. Keep in mind that this isn’t an all-inclusive solution but, rather, a fun and games approach to categorize the many live shows that come through the Spokane area on a weekly basis. Also note that the gender designations are completely arbitrary – come to think of it, so is this whole method of profi ling – so use it only as a loose guide. We suspect that many of our readers will fall into more than one category, and that’s OK. We’re not pigeonholing you into a particular musical taste, we’re merely providing a guide to point you in the direction of whatever show you might feel like going to on a given night.
