Great stuff.

Can’t say I agree with the Daft Punk claim. Despite seeing them a few times.

    Dan he likes the album but I think that its the timeliness of their exit that got them on there

      SM001 yep, not quite as good as OK Computer or the Chronic!

        Or the Bends which lets face it has the best opening tune on any fucking album.

        Nice choices on there.

        I know some NBA blogger-types, not like besties or anything, and they used to do it out of just loving the game and sharing thoughts. They’ve managed to turn it into a career for themselves. They’ve said podcasting along with writing has been their key. Podcasting, like writing, is a skill that takes practice.

        Chuck Klosterman is one of my favorite “music” writers (books, used to write for Spin), ’though he writes much more than that. He did a 15 episode podcast series, “Music Exists” your son might enjoy - on Spotify. More philosophical and big picture - like are artists responsible for their fanbase or what makes music sound “commercial”. Not for everybody but I enjoyed it.

            jonattonyeah I will let him know, sounds just the type of thing he’d be in to. Suits his anoraky personality 😂

              Nothing wrong with being a proud dad, Al. It’s well written. I was actually listening to music for the jilted generation the other day. Still sounds good. Break and enter and 3 kilos are timeless.

                Matt yeah, it is a great album. Love speedway too but I have learned not to listen to it when driving. Poison too is 👌

                  That Prodigy album was played solidly in my local.

                  alistair he should keep it up, even if it’s a side hustle. He writes well. Wants to also look at his sentence structure and introduce less focus on two clauses. Some sentences would be better as single statements. I know a few music journos from the good old dance days who are now writers or in high falootin’ jobs but still using yheir creativity.

                      Good idea. Grant writers make a solid buck in the States if they’re good. The guy we work with does that to pay for his less-lucrative fiction writing goals. Not full time. Make your own hours. You learn a lot as well.
