Music & Songwriting

<xover> Hey, for a guy as into music as you are you write very
little about it?
<sbp> what's to write about, really?
<xover> Oh, I dunno. Rediscovering old favourites. Discovering new
ones. Sharing the joy in music. That sort of thing?
<sbp> I'd probably start off with "Stop reading this, and
concentrate on listening to the music."
<xover> Sure, that works. :-)
<sbp> actually, I guess the problem is that I've nowhere to write
to
<xover> The Man With A Million Web Sites?!?!
<sbp> I don't know of any music magazines that are quite along my
tastelines
<sbp> well, you can write to a site but not get anyone to read it
<sbp> musical writing is all pretty much ephemera
<xover> Having a readership is a prerequisite for writing?
<sbp> "Great new album out by the Skanks! Go get it!"
<sbp> it's one of the factors that you can use to justify spending
time on it
