Lees overigens dit interessante achtergrondverhaal dat bepaalde redenen waarom ik deze reeks schrijf zoals ik hem schrijf in een historische context plaatst: 'Worth Their Wait' van Simon Reynolds. Een langere uitleg komt wel wanneer ik klaar ben (na ongeveer 25 albums).
What the music papers I grew up on offered was a concentrated, all-enveloping experience that allowed you to escape from your real surroundings, with all their dreary limitations, and achieve vicarious access to the place where all the action was happening and all the ideas were percolating. Concentration of a different kind was involved in reading the frequently very long features. It’s perfectly possible, of course, to flick desultorily through a printed magazine in just the same way one drifts shiftlessly across the infosphere. But something about the bound nature of the magazine encourages getting pulled into a story, and staying with it until the end.
