Entertainment For Lively Minds
I made this.
Hello everybody. I'm not counting this as spam as a) it's 100% labour of love and b) I think you might be interested.
It explains the whys and wherefores on the "about" bit of the site so I won't repeat that. There is a (much) extended version in two parts of the Mary Anne Hobbs interview I linked here a while back, with some extraordinary extra bits of colour, and some interviews with mavericks of the British music world who, while they may or may not be to your tastes musically, have a lot of interest to say. And there's a rather spiffing mix of Colombian music on there to boot. All feedback very welcome.
One interesting point: the data I'm getting back from the first few days online is that quite a lot of people are spending a long time looking at each page - that is to say, against all received wisdom, people are willing to read very long articles online.

Good!
I think that you may be re-inforcing the "content" argument : we are willing to read very long articles if they are any good!
Dubstep means nothing to me...
but the Tony Thorpe interview was fantastic.
I'll keep reading, as long as you keep posting, Joe! Great stuff
Cool
Starting reading your Robert Gordon interview and will finish it tomorrow. He came across as very bitter in the Warp Records book that came out a few years ago so its nice to read a more in depth account with more context.
He sounds like quite a character. Someone should compile a book about all these unsung people on the periphery of the music world. Their stories are often far more interesting that the 'stars'.
Well...
I can't say the idea of it making a book didn't cross my mind when I started the site, but I like working on it purely for what it is at the moment.
Just to update
2,407 separate visitors have come from 56 countries purely on word of mouth & the amount of time people are spending on each page is INCREASING.
I'm quite tickled.
