Well I thought I would just chime in and also say that I could be included in
the freelance writer dept as I have a column in the local arts/? mag here in
DE. It is called unchained and it highlights independent local businesses-
i.e. theatres, diners, vintage clothing, icecream, whatevers. A BIG passion for
me as well as good music.
I have also had my foray into record reviews via the indulgent folks at the
Bystander- one for the latest FOW masterpiece and in the latest ish a glowing
review of the Candy Butchers' gem. Written in the afterglow of the Boston Pop
Underground event!
Which leads me to 2 points, then I will digress and go to bed AFTER I have
changed the clocks-- One is that- I, being a huge pop fan, have the most
difficult time with music reviews, so that I have to concur that writing about music
is like dancing about architechture. Actually the latter would be easier for
me- but if it weren't for the compulsion to "spread the good news" about great
new releases by FOW and Candy Butchers I would rarely open my trap about
music. Coming from numerous first had experiences, I find that the more someone's
music touches me, the more inarticulate I become in trying to explain the
impact it has on me.
(ie- my still fumbling attempt at answering "so what kind of music does your
husband play?")
In other writerly pop musings, and also in RE to FOW's Troubled Times---I
have been thinking for a while now about writing a screenplay with PLENTY of pop
music/musicians in it. Alas I am no good with the words but if anyone wants to
help out with the writing bit, I have a good story! email me,
:-)
