I, too, am dismayed about the loss of Audiofile. Like many other readers, I discovered some great music because of it. (Although I do think it has lost some of its edge with the departure of Mr. Barlett.)
Why can't Salon beef up its music coverage AND keep Audiofile? I work for a major metro paper where our music critic blogs and writes for the print product, and each media complements the other well. I don't see why Salon can't do the same.
I'm looking forward to the daily TV items. While I really enjoy "I Like to Watch," I think it barely scratches the surface of TV that's worthy of praise, or conversely, scorn.
Thanks for letting me give my 2 cents.
I think this is the first substantive article in Salon about music since the Audiofile feature went belly up. What took so long?
The lack of music coverage has me reconsidering my decision to subscribe.
Sorry, King: The first ad you described, the one in which the goal-scoring soccer player morphs into a hand-raising student, is an ad for Enterprise Rent-a-Car, not the NCAA. They've shown it enough times, it's burned in my memory.
How about a column on what a waste of TV pixels Clark Kellogg and Seth Davis are?
I'm a journalist, and I agree with what you wrote, but sweet Jesus, that fourth graph goes on forever! You need a good editor, sir! Given the state of the industry, there are plenty of good potential applicants available.
