There are a good number of us. Chances are that we all made mixtapes with one song, over and over, at some point during our childhoods. We've got sensory memories tagged to songs. We know what proper segues between songs are and are impressed when one goes off smoothly and unexpectedly. We don't dismiss by genre. We listen, we talk, we make, we mouth, we love.
This is not necessarily about musical criticism as we usually know it. This is as removed as writing about music can get from the music industry and its press statements, even though some of us are involved with the generation of said paperwork. This is about the personal experience of listening to music, about pure fandom, about pleasure and discomfort and all the soft grey areas in between.
Welcome.
