#musicjournalism — Public Fediverse posts

“Bring back blogs and zines, but make it Substack”? Not so fast.

Substack may give writers more freedom to cover what they actually care about, but replacing corporate music media with another privately owned platform doesn’t necessarily make journalism more independent. Some thoughts on clickbait, paywalls, unpaid labor, the open web, and maybe why writers deserve better than choosing between corporate dependence and working for free.

Some bands disappear.

Some bands take a 30-year detour, record a triple album, and then send their singer down the river in a half-deflated rubber boat.

Sister Rain belongs firmly in the second category.

We spent a day with frontman Aslak Nygren in Fredrikstad — talking about music, friendship, craftsmanship, psychedelic rock, the misery of life, and why some bands never really disappear.

Extremely chuffed to be featured in Don't Rock the Inbox with my essay about the use of Sapphic imagery by mainstream country artists like Ashley McBryde (whom I love), Kacey Musgraves, and, of course. Little Big Town.

ah, i love some good old essayistic music journalism, like this piece by #listencorp on #JamesFerraro's »Skid Row« album 10 years after:
https://www.listencorp.co.uk/post/james-ferraro-skid-row-explained

the appreciation they show for this album, the way they put in relation to the postmodernity we live in with all its glamor and squalor and the in-depth look they take at the album's songs made me like this album even more.

sometimes I forget how written words can enhance the listening experience so much.

Two recent reports show that diversity in the arts is improving, Creative Commons is looking at openness in context and The Music is experimenting with AI using their music journalism.

Ovi Wood: The Unwritten Story of an Underground R&B Force

The Artist Nobody Has Written About — Until Now... Every once in a while, an artist slips through the cracks of the internet — not because they lack talent, but because they exist in that rare, liminal space where the music is loud but the narrative is quiet. Ovi Wood is one of those artists. I discovered her years ago through a late‑night track called “12:00 A.M.” — a religious song featuring…

Heeey Hearing Things @feed have joined the Fediverse! I love this fully writer-owned music journalism co-op. It's funded by a subscription model, not by VC funding, ads or getting dirty with your data. But as importantly, there's heaps of great stuff to read.

Fans of #BobDylan could well be interested in today's episode of the eclectic music show, Rotations, on @3CRMelbourne #CommunityRadio.

My latest for Bandcamp Daily: the once-over on the new Mogwai LP, which balances their sweeping post-rock scope with a prog-rock precision to create a reflection on the current state of the world.

"I broke down and bought the new Pat Boone album. I couldn’t resist. My opinion? The concept is total kitsch though I must admit that some of the translations were smoother than expected"

Revising Throwing Out Love Notes with some recently found journals from the late 90s, including a reminiscence of Pat Boone's "heavy metal" album No More Mr. Nice Guy with an album review. Read it now along with anecdotes on Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass and Jonny Lang:

"As I approached the second stage, something amazing caught my ear, a beautiful cacophony like someone using a piano for a ping-pong table and happening to hit all the right notes. It sounded like... real jazz, the hardcore shit that makes you vomit when you shoot it up, not the candy-coated stuff being served on the main stage..."

One of the greatest albums of all time is 45 years old today. Years ago, I wrote about my love for @thepretendershq's first album in a post titled "In Hynde Sight" included as a chapter in Throwing Out Love Notes available at eBook sellers worldwide.

There's no new Other People's Music this week, but last week's is still fresh and has been seen by way fewer people than usual (holidays are always a terrible time for internet traffic!), so maybe go read that one, if you haven't already?
