Soulseeking
Personal, introspective essays about the experience of loving music — why we listen, how taste develops, what moves us. Nick Southall wrote the inaugural piece about whether compulsive downloading destroys the joy of discovery. Mallory O'Donnell defended P2P culture. Marcello Carlin wrote an extended meditation on Kate Bush as the last protected genius in pop. Around 50 essays that dropped the critical distance entirely.
