The end of Music Thing for now Four years ago, I had a job editing laddish lifestyle magazines funded by the National Health Service. It was a great job, great people, and not very time-consuming. So, at work and at home I started writing Music Thing. To my surprise and delight, people started reading it. It was fun and all-consuming. Every day you - the readers - sent me great stories which I had time to research and post. The things I learned doing Music Thing (the internet stuff more than the guitars shaped like guns) have now helped me get a job where Im in charge of the online output of The Times newspaper, managing 40+ people and a history going back to 1785. I spend all day on the web, talking and thinking about traffic, developers, links and readers. Its no longer what I want to do at home, so this will be the last Music Thing post. Thats right, Ive used this blog to get what I want, now Im spitting it out like stale gum. Sorry about that. Thank you to everyone who has ever ...
