not really interested in any take on What Happened to Music Criticism that doesn’t take into account the labor conditions of the interlocking music and journalism industries

unless i missed the post malone reviews on bandcamp daily, they were definitely talking about a different set of writers. i forgot about bandcamp once being a place where a writer could make a living, i don’t think i’ve even glanced at the daily since the union busting.
