Hello all, long time-lurker stepping out from the darkness! I’m the Sheffield-based artist ‘Yarni’.
I’ve been observing lots and lots of people talking about the future of music journalism and what comes next, which made me wonder what peoples thoughts were?
I’m a daily-checker of TP, Aquarium Drunkard, Ban Ban Ton Ton, Fond/Sound which all provide me with great insight but what else are people following along with?
I dont believe we’re doomed I just think the new generation will displace it into a different context…
I’ll admit to not following anything closely these days. However, in a sort of random way, I look at exystence.net, which essentially collects reviews from various places and does a very naughty thing with a few file lockers. But as a peephole onto the wide range of music out there I find it kind of fascinating.
I should add that, if you decide to investigate the naughty file lockers, you should have all shields up and phasers set to stun. They have a nasty habit of attempting to open an unwanted window to the left of your desired window. With my dedication to scientific inquiry and innate hacking disposition, I have discovered that a quick mouse move and click to the appropriate spot will close that window before it loads. I suspect any video gamers will find this a piece of cake.
