Best Music Writing 2012

not to mention the issues with "if you care about the money you gave you are sad, get over it"

is anyone saying that

if someone repeatedly calling out Daphne for her repeated false promises bothers folks so much they could not read or comment on the thread. But telling someone they should not be aggrieved is a worse look than their repeated posting on the status (or non-status) of her latest failure to deliver.

is anyone saying that

yes. scroll up, read twitter.

BMW is a nice idea and it was laudable for her to attempt to bring it back to life after the original company already declared it not a viable business. but at the end of the day it was just republishing things that have already been published with a bit of curatorial prestige for the benefit of the writers and readers alike. the nature of the project leads me to a "woulda been nice, ah well" conclusion quicker than if it was, say, something a bunch of people had already written a bunch of new stuff for that was now not going to ever be published or paid for.

Sorry I used repeated;y/repeated/repeated so much in that post. My thesaurus must be broken.

The glass-half-full side of me thinks that if we let this thread die, then maybe without so much pressure, she'll deliver a statement that's fully cognizant of what she's capable of delivering and maybe even that list and those refunds.

The glass-half-empty side thinks, looking back at all this, ehh, probably not.

quick question and honestly not looking to add fire to this: does anyone care enough about this project to want to take the baton and run with it?

Maybe dude from Animal Collective has some free time

amanda palmer seems to have a grasp of this kickstarter thing

M@tt for thread MVP

silly question I know but has anyone seen the list of selections that she promised for last September?

aaaaaahahahahahha

In the meantime, another writer compiled this list for RBMA: http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/magazine/best-music-journalism-2013-jason-gross

I don't agree with more than a few of the picks, but if you really want an aggregated list of music writing from last year...

it is now 2014. is it even remotely possible anyone will care about the best music writing in 2012 anymore?

in 2022 the anniversary-driven internet content economy will probably be primed for it

Bear in mind that the 2012 edition actually collects writing from 2011.

Damn, I made Jason's list!

congrats

Thanks

I'd have liked to be singled out for something less experimental and more analytic/journalistic, but still, cool

I didn't believe it when she promised the list of selected writing would appear in first week of September - because I don't believe it ever will be delivered.

who the fuck cares

2012 was like a decade ago it doesn't matter.
