Nick Hornby on the liberating effect of MP3 blogs
"Perhaps one of the paradoxes of music on the internet is that it's perfect for the old folks. If you need to find set lists for every show Rory Gallagher ever played, I'm sure there's some chap with nothing better to do who is taking care of it right now. But more importantly, you need never again feel as though the pop life is drifting away from you – indeed, the anonymity and user-friendliness of the MP3 blogs mean that one feels emboldened to walk into even the scariest-looking website in the full confidence that nobody will laugh at you."
Hello Paige, I’m a WOXY listener and clicked on the link from WOXY.com to your Blog. Its very entertaing so far, I chose to comment on this blog because I’m actually a huge Rory Gallagher fan and I’ve searched for and found set lists from the shows I’ve attended. So, I’m going to bookmark this page, because I don’t understand RSS (what?) feeds, and check back occasionally to see if Rory Gallagher makes your top one hundred albums, nice choice with the T.Rex. >BB
