I didn't quite get the warm glow I was anticipating from this Resonance show. I was kind of hoping it was going to form a perfect requiem for times past. Don't think I'm criticising Magz for one minute, she did an excellent job with this, but somehow the excitement I felt for those two years isn't conveyed. It may be a question of media, the experience of blogging was so tautly introspective, of so much relevance to itself, that to explain it within another context, well the whole thing just comes across as a facile waste of time.
No, it's not JUST that I come across a complete cock (winces, please Matt don't say it, quivers) it's more that nothing could do justice to the intensity of the experience. I really believed that something was at stake, that it was of earth-shattering importance (pompous I know, but so what?), that even though I wrote about nothing but music, that it wasn't about writing about music. It certainly wasn't about wanting to be a music journalist. It just was.
