Tom Moon at the Tattered Cover, September 26th, 2008
Last night I had the privilege of meeting award winning music journalist Tom Moon at the Tattered Cover bookstore. He was pimping his new book 1000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die.
In addition to being a great writer, Moon is truly passionate about music. I had the opportunity to speak with him about the current state of music journalism, and his advice was extremely valuable to a budding music critic like myself. The future doesn't look particularly lucrative for anyone wanting to write music, film, and book reviews for a living, but I still felt inspired by Mr. Moon.
