Did she stop when online started giving her shit? If so, that's pretty sad.
Had the same thought. I enjoyed her reviews! They were predictable: she liked anything that was mainstream rock or pop and couldn't get her head around noise-rock or free jazz. (A couple surprises, e.g. she liked Alice Coltrane.) That was part of what made the project interesting, though: it would have been interesting to see how her perceptions shifted as she exposed herself to hundreds and hundreds of those records.
Never really got the gender politics issue w her doing this, esp since I could spend all day on Youtube watching reaction videos where men do m/l the same thing. (Lost in Vegas guys are p much prog/metal experts by now.)

the gender politics issue was with the reception (positive & negative) more than the actual blog

actually there were interesting things about the gendering of certain types of music & fandom implied if not actively explored by the blog but it got nasty quick when the internet got hold of it

I feel like I'd enjoy their videos if I watched a few but the whole reaction video concept is just totally alienating to me.

I think she did explicitly address these things at times with e.g. the review of the SST comp with the rape image on the cover.

lost in vegas is m/l real-time music criticism by non-music journalists. 95% of what they "react" to I have no interest in tho.

Remember that she actually spoke to and quoted a gender studies professor in this one.

in stick-to-itiveness, she did better than Sufjan Stevens but quite a bit worse than Sue Grafton.
