vanmega: Because 160 character-limit music reviews are silly. (via quinn)

cameronr: The way that we at Only used to look at album reviews was that it doesn’t matter what you say as long as you are covering it. If people think the magazine reviewing it is cool/relevant they will keep the band in mind. Often, people will judge a band based on press photos and hype before they even hear the music so why bother. That’s why I’ve always prefered tongue-in-cheek reviews or conversational interviews about nothing. I’d prefer to show a picture of PRE and talk about donkeys than try to describe their music in a meaningful way.

People that write about music do it for nerds like Amanda.

davidlook: Well said cam. It’s also why I prefer just to write about myself.
