Bee thousand di Marc Woodworth
I believe Frank http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1013546-frank said it best: "When the guy actually talks to people in the band, this book is really insightful. When he's writing album reviews while pretending to be some grad student who jumped off a roof or writing some dumb poetry, I had to skim."
If you have ever read music reviews and have any interest in the craft, this book is a fascinating read!
The book is laid out like a textbook with chapters divided into Introduction, Advice, Excerpts, Writing Prompts and Go-Betweens. The various chapters cover the different methods used to write about music such as Album Review, Track-by-Track Reviews, Interviews, Music Scenes, Personal Essay, etc.....
The book was really fascinating, but I will admit I skimmed some of the excerpts. It's tough to read a Track-by-Track essay about some Taylor Swift album I care nothing about......same with any essay dealing with rap music - but that's just me. The greatest excerpt was by Croggon and Parker "On the Trouble With Contemporary Music Criticism." Fascinating and painfully true....
This book was a birthday gift from a good friend who is as passionate about music as I am. I will forever be grateful for this gift! :-)… (altro)
