The NME: Do the critics have personality?

so glad that http://i.imgur.com/QbYzHTH.jpg is back

nice spike jonze obit for dele, complete with some actual journalistic legwork: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/sep/14/dele-fadele-remembered-nme

i'm glad it actually brings up the issue of why this news took so long to come out (and at least hints at the institutional crappiness of the music press in its treatment of freelancers)

and tbh i lolled at the cheeky way the entirely just and fair headline ("He was a groundbreaker and a visionary”) completes itself further down the copy: “He was a groundbreaker and a visionary. He was a black man writing about indie music!”

that's a really good piece, glad to see it

Does Tim get called Spike a lot?

it's the price he pays for his rare and unlikely surname

Well- written and sad piece
