If writing about music is like dancing about architecture, you'd do best to hone your chops and avoid clich s (like the one that begins this sentence) by learning from the prime movers. How to Write About Music offers a selection of the best writers on what is perhaps our most universally beloved art form. Selections from the critically-acclaimed 33 1/3 series appear alongside new interviews and insights from authors like Jonathan Lethem, Carl Wilson and Kim Cooper. How to Write About Music includes primary sources of inspiration from a variety of go-to genres such as- the album review, the personal essay, the blog post and the interview along with tips, writing prompts, and advice from the writers themselves. An extensive further reader section accompanies each chapter for a complete picture of contemporary music writing. Music critics of the past and the present offer inspiration through their work on artists like Neutral Milk Hotel, J.Dilla, The Rolling Stones, Joy Division, Lana Del Rey, Nirvana, Nas, Radiohead and countless others. How to Write About Music is an invaluable tool for anyone who has ever dreamed of getting their music writing published and a pleasure for anyone who loves to read about music.

The book was really fascinating, but I will admit I skimmed some of the excerpts. It's tough to read a Track-by-Track essay about some Taylor Swift album I care nothing about......same with any essay dealing with rap music - but that's just me. The greatest excerpt was by Croggon and Parker "On the Trouble With Contemporary Music Criticism." Fascinating and painfully true....
This book was a birthday gift from a good friend who is as passionate about music as I am. I will forever be grateful for this gift! :-) ( )
