However, and I of course am very biased, I like to think that I ‘captured the heart’ of what was said in the interview and the ‘reasoning and why’s’ behind their art.

I also never said there is a ‘lack of intelligent’ music journalism in my article. I will, however, say my opinion on that now…..

Some of, again not necessarily a lack of, but ‘some of’ rock journalism has a lack of both cohesion in which the quotes are just connected together without a sense of structure or flow.

I will also say some of the music journalism sometimes lacks a sense of, well, art. It often comes across as more akin to news-reporting, where in my opinion it could use more substance.

I am not saying that my writing has substance or my writing is even arty. That’s subjective and it is not for me to decide. I will say this: I try to be stylistic, arty, and have a lot of heart in my writing.

Best,
