	A history of music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Although I have omnivorous tastes in music, the music section of jahsonic.com mainly focuses on maligned genres of the late twentieth century pop canon: dance music, fl music, disco, reggae, dub, house music, early hip hop, gay music, electronic music and techno.
		Emerging in the early fifties, rock music was initially referred to as “rock 'n' roll.” After 1964 it was simply called “rock music.” The change in terminology indicates both a continuity with and a break from the earlier period; rock music was no longer just for dancing.
		Beginning with the contention that the disc jockey is "dance music's most important figure," Brewster and Broughton persuasively argue that the contemporary DJ is the epitome of the postmodern artist and that disc jockeys have long influenced the evolution of American musical tastes.

		Earlier this month, at a series of panel discussions hosted jointly by the Juilliard School of Music and the Music Critics Association, I had the opportunity to opine in public on the future both of my profession and of the art form to which that profession is parasitically related.
		The main difference between the music critic and everyone else who goes to concerts is that the critic has a regular forum for his opinions.
		Consumers of music criticism have as much right to express themselves as do criticism's practitioners and the performers who sometimes feel they are criticism's victims, and in fact some of the most impassioned statements last weekend came from members of the audience.

	Help me explain music journalism - The CHUD.COM Message Boards
		Or, to be even more official, an opinion piece that deals with the effect that music journalism has had on musical genre popularity, marketing, and notoriety of specific acts.
		I'm trying to explain that music journalism negates a large percentage of what is popular as well as explain the symbiotic relationship between marketing and journalism.

	AlterNet: MediaCulture: Is Music Journalism Dead?
		And because music is entertainment, even when it or its journalism does delve into politics, it seems possible only to skim the surface, dealing with issues of gender, race, class, politics and economics as afterthoughts or tangents to the sound.
		Yet, music journalism historically has also always been a place for writers to air their politics or figure out ways to discuss music with a political bent.
		When the world changed in the '60s and '70s – via feminism, civil rights, gay pride, war, recession – music journalism was there, chronicling the trends and tides as they emerged on the airwaves and the charts.

		Despite that music is an auditory medium, its relationship to the visual is both crucial and inextricable, with artists developed to be MTV-ready even if their mugs will never grace the network.
		In other words, music journalism would do better to admit the range of factors which draw people to artists, such as race, region, cool, politics and looks, rather than critiquing music as an unadulterated art that somehow exists outside these social relationships.
		Although music critics probably can't save performers from the meddling hands of image handlers, we can stop being in denial about the role of image in the construction of not only musicians, but music itself.
