Ainda os blogues na Wire

Do tal artigo sobre blogues na Wire, que referi mais abaixo, apetece-me fazer algumas citações de frases que eu julgo serem interessantes. O artigo foi escrito por Kodwo Eshun, que diz, entre muitas coisas, isto:

«The recent closure of music magazines Seven and Muzik confirmed what we already know: 99 per cent of music print media is fattaly compromised by its lack of vision and its commercial imperatives.»

«Some of these, like Simon Reynolds, Ian Penman, Philip Sherburne and Sasha Frere-Jones use their blogs as the id to their print media ego; the real-deal director's cut as opposed to the populist offline edits.»

«[a propósito de um dos blogues referidos:] scrambled zones that allow him [Tom Ewing] to access an ethical urgency in which music writing is as serious as your life.»

«Like all bloggers, Ewing is driven by a committed generosity; no one's getting paid, the network is its own reward.»

«In his occasional reviews for Uncut, Carlin seems cramped and awkward; the blog format allows him to strech out, uncensored.»
