become a music journalist

I’ve been a Music Journalist for 6 years and began writing for my middle school and then high school news papers getting my articles printed and what not and then moved onward to the internet magazine world and have continued to fullfill my dream of being a Music Journalist. Interviewing some of the big name acts in the music world, and then writing various reviews along the way. If anyone needs help then by all means send me a email.

i love music and writing and music journalism seems like the perfect thing.
I want to work for Alternative Press when i get older or get an intership there.
i love the magazine and creating it one day would be a dream come true!

I guess I should do the whole college thing first, huh?

a more appropriate title [for me anyway] would be “become William Miller from Almost Famous.”

but ferserious, music and writing are my two favorite things, and it just recently occurred to me that I could pursue both of them in a single career… so why not?

Music & Writing – Two of my three favourite in the whole entire world…

To combine those two things, and have it serve as an income seems almost tragic to me, but they are my passions, and to do that for a good part of my life is the best drug for my soul. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect setup!

I write for Buzzgrinder.com on an almost-daily basis. An album review I wrote for Ghettoblaster is included in their most recent print release, and there is some interest in having me do more significant work for them in the future.

I haven’t been paid for any work yet, but I think the occasional free CD, the ability to get press passes to shows and other random perks are enough for now.

Cross this one off the list. :)

It would just be the epitome of coolness, really.

In Britain at least, the quality of the music papers has gradually disintegrated into the blend of soggy shite we have now. A certain once-great publication has become nothing but a tabloid, raping the great and pimping the whores. Even more sadly, I fear this is only a reflection upon the music industry today. Being ‘original’ is trendy, ‘Indie’ is trendy – sounding like ‘the real thing’ is trendy. Though of course it doesn’t. You can’t sound real if you sound like something else.

I have very strong ideas about how the music industry should be, and this is wrong, wrong, wrong. As long as I have been reading the music press, and probably for many years before, it has been touted that this is a golden musical era, that we’re in the midst of a musical revolution, which is simply not true. Manipulating teenagers to buy into the magic is not the way it should be – if it’s shite then tell you them it’s shite!

We don’t appreciate being lied to.

I love music, I love to travel, and i’d love to write about music and only music

Officially writing for the main Buzzgrinder site now. I suppose I should start figuring out where the line is drawn on when this goal is completed or not, huh?
