girl anachronism Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I wasn't quite sure where to put this. I'm not much of a writer, but I recently wrote an article on UTG, and after some positive feedback and gentle encouragement, I finally got the confidence together to start a wee blog. For my first post, I've attempted a review of the bands I saw (and some delicious food!) at SXSW 2012. It's a pretty lengthy review, but I saw a lot of bands! You can find it here:http://goldstarforrobotgirl.tumblr.com/This is my first attempt at anything like this, I'm an absolute novice, but found it quite fun to write and hope that a few folk might enjoy it. If anyone's got some critique on it, or any tips on writing and reviewing then that'd be excellent. Incidentally, if anyone has anything that they might want reviewed, then let me know and I'll give it a shot, I could use the practice! I've also been enjoying reading other music blogs, and I know that a few folk on here have some. I thought it might be nice if people wanted to post links to them here and we could start a wee directory or something? I'd definitely welcome some more reading material!Happy reading! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I've not read it yet claire but I would suggest breaking up posts like that into smaller chunks over a few days. I looked at that last night and couldn't bring myself to start it. I shall give it a good read this week though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girl anachronism Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thanks Pierre! Just had a look at your Mumblr and spent a good couple of minutes staring at "Phreakburst", it's pretty cool! ... then I looked at the picture of Eyrie below and thought; "that building looks like a giant effects pedal". /problems.

There's a band here called Bluejuice (no idea if they're even remotely big in the UK) who have a song in the charts called "Act Yr Age", fucking dreadful.

Moose Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Because everything else is written well - for the most part - and, more importantly, in proper English. Every time there's a "yr" it makes me think: "why?" Just don't do it. That's all I want, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 yep.It was the song "Expressway To Yr. Skull" that made me think "huh, that looks quite cool" and it became habit. I think getting annoyed about it is ridiculous.You know my views on this: only thing that makes me cringe about your otherwise sterling writing. And it's not really ridiculous to get annoyed about, no more so than you or I getting annoyed about a shit band or whatevz.But yeah read Euan's blog.
