Media / Teh Internets Dusted Magazine’s 'Face the Musician' Feature
Posted by Dave Segal on Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 5:07 PM
On Thursday Dusted Magazine will debut what looks like an interesting concept in music journalism: Face the Musician. According the site’s editors, Face the Musician involves them sending “artists our reviews of their new albums before they’re published and get[ting] first-person reactions to the critiques and the compliments.” The very witty Kid Millions of Oneida and their album Rated O will be the column’s first subject.
There’s potential here for both catty give and take and illuminating dialogue about the creative process, musicians’ intentions, and critical presumptions. It could also be a platform for some entertaining venting by the artists under review. We look forward to the feature with (de)bated breath.

I like this idea. I think, if it's done right, it might be a pretty honest exchange. If it's done wrong, it will probably seem more like a love fest.
