Let Them All Talk

http://rockcritics.com/2007/10/03/rockcritics-music-blogger-symposium/

If yr involved in the rock-critical hobby/business (or if you're a dedicated observer) then this will be interesting - a roundtable starring several prominent music bloggers including two (maybe more than two! I don't know who everyone's LJ ident is) of this community and a certain Mr S Reynolds who gets mentioned here a fair bit.

Lots of interesting themes here - I intend to blog about this more on FT but I thought I'd get the link out here quick while a few of the UK people are still reading...

I didn't realise working for Idolator was a salaried position. Who is the employer, out of interest?
