Welcome to Pop Musicology
June 30th 2006 13:59
Pop Musicology aims to maintain a critical distance from both the musical mainstream and its myriad of independent offshoots. There will be no hype. Here, you will read of a great many exciting bands an artists, new and established, young and old, p-funk and g-funk etc. All of it will be relevant and none of it will pander to the mainstream – but this does not preclude the mainstream's more worthy output.
The impending decline of print journalism as it becomes subservient to the Internet is gradually giving way to a more academic level of musical consideration. This leaves the stunted writers of the NME to harp solely about how any one artist matters to the fifteen-year-olds of the world rather than worthy description of how music really works or sounds. Pop Musicology differs in the way it approaches and describes the popular music of today.
In short, Pop Musicology aims to inhabit a little-discussed area of music writing – serious analytical approaches to popular music in its mainstream and independent forms. Never losing sight of the music itself, you will see honest writing with the right principles and cover of artists with something to offer those who will listen.
Bad artists will be slagged off. Sorry…
Featured this week: Foo Fighters Novelty-Peddling, the sad demise of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, and Scandinavia. The geographical area.
