I used to be a music journalist. Not that that makes my opinions more valid but it does mean I know how it works, especially in Australia; the pitfalls of street press, the narrow field of focus most newsagent magazines have; the complete lack of understanding editors can have of electronic music and the sad lack of care metro newspaper have for using good music journalists and reviewers. Anyone can write a music review, right?
There'll also be the odd guest review—I'm trying to hook up a review from Rove McManus—and If someone can send me an online crossword generator there'll be music crosswords too!
I'll also post random bits not related to music journalism but it doesn't have to be like dancing to architecture and is that so strange? I know I've swayed in a dance-style looking up at giant buildings, and well designed spaces have made me feel like dancing. It's an expression that creates a good excuse for poor writing and bad journalism. People write about love everyday, dancing to architecture seems simple in comparison.
