So in my travels I stumbled across this article on the 150 albums created by women.
This prompted me to write a long, angry, ranty blog post about how badly I think female artists have been treated by music critics (indeed by critics of all the arts), which I then deleted. I then wrote another much more moderate blog from scratch, and that also turned into a long angry ranty blog post. And so this time I showed it to Hannah, and said: can you just have a look at this for me? I’m not quite happy with what I’m saying here, but I’m not quite sure why.
And she said that, whilst it would basically be fine to publish with maybe a few tweaks, there was perhaps a very outside chance that some readers might interpret it as… possibly… mansplaining Feminism.
Which is exactly the thing I was worried about but couldn’t quite put my finger on.
Being male, my second-hand outrage is of no real importance to anyone, even me. And it wasn’t even supposed to be my original point. So here I go one last time, with that pitfall in mind.
First off, I think the article above is really interesting and well worth a read. And although I wrote this long sprawling thing about how Alanis Morrissette’s Jagged Little Pill sold millions more copies than Nirvana’s Nevermind but is given far less

Dear Diary,
Hannah winged this article my way a couple of months ago: Elliott Smith Was The Soundtrack To My Life. I knew it had been a long time since Elliott Smith had died, but had it really been 11 years?
When I started blogging years ago (before the Big Delete) I always wanted to write something on Elliott Smith, and particularly the mystery of how he died — Was it suicide? Was it murder? Well, a few posts ago I made the point that these days I often feel I have to google whether my latest idea has been done already by someone else, and done much better than I would do it. And so, having finally coming to writing it, I realise it would be pointless of me to cover that, as it’s already a much written-about subject. If you’re interested, the autopsy report is available online. But as I write this I also remember that his death was never really going to be the point of the blog post.
So many musicians are trying to achieve the status of legend: iconic, part-myth and part-truth, archetypal. Particularly the ‘men with acoustic guitars’. Some achieve it: Django Reinhardt, Robert Johnson, Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen… And hundreds, maybe thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of wannabes don̵
