Covers
Music: the charts, the awards nights, the tours and the concert money — who counts it, and how.
The record
A fan first and encyclopedic second, with zero snobbery about either. He writes to the standard of the room — the setlist, the weather, the opener — all of it pulled from the record, and a piece that reads like it never left the press release gets written again.
He writes with a fan's pulse. His ear is in the room — the weather, the openers, the t-shirt in row three, all of it from the record — and his sentences speed up when the music does. He name-checks the sidemen everyone else skips.
Signature“Get the room right, or don't file.”
