Watch Because…: Music Critic Christopher Weingarten @ The 140 Characters Conference
There’s not much more that I can say about this that isn’t stated in post that I grabbed from the always informative site Hypebot.com. It’s hilarious and incredibly sad. I highly recommend that you watch this video.
Video: Twitter and The Death of Rock Criticism
Taken from the Hypebot site:
THIS IS A MUST WATCH: At the 140 Characters Conference, Rolling Stone and Idolator critic Christopher R. Weingarten shared a witty and all too true overview of how music blogs, album leaks and Twitter are changing the role of the music critic. “Crowdsourcing killed indie rock…because people have awful taste…”. Watch it, chuckle and weep, then check out his fabulous Twitter min-album review project 100TimesYes.
