just an oddity i casually observed in the past week: stylus magazine, popmatters and cokemachineglow are all currently advertising for new music writers. pros: you get paid to listen to and write about music! cons: you don’t actually get paid. but still, if you fancy yourself as a critic it looks like everyone’s on the lookout for fresh blood.

Roger Roger - Safari Park
“Roger Roger is to Library Music what James Bond is to spy movies; a figurehead that can’t be overlooked. Precursor of Electronic Music, sound explorer, great orchestrator… his career brought him worldwide recognition and acclaim. With a body of work amply sampled and reissued, Roger Roger is considered a pioneer from Paris to London, from New York to Tokyo, and is recognized, more than anybody else, as the man who brought nobility to the genre seen as “Music for images”.”
