I genuinely dislike music journalism, except for those little blurbs in Wired.

"Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read. "
-Frank Zappa


That's like, the 5th time I've used that quote now.

You could always count on ol' Frank to cut to the chase with things. Too bad he didn't pass that gene along to either of his worthless sons.

Kai:
I don't know anything really about his sons. Except their names. But that's about it. I know Dweezil does something musically.  I'm assuming by that it's not very good. :D

It seems like a lot of musicians seem to harbour the idea that what they do is mystic and undescribable, rendering music journalism useless. That's not true.

Effective music journalism serves many purposes, the most obvious being simply getting the name of the artist or group out there. More than that, though, it can offer different contexts through which to experience music, and help to enrich the experience for the listener.

SeanBateman:
Guys I was a music Journalist for a while, and I think I was pretty good at it!
