I've been away from my computer most of yesterday, and will be today too, but wanted to note that Tom Ewing at Freaky Trigger also had some comments spurred by the Rock Critics Roundtable referenced in the last few posts.

Additionally, last week Phil Ford at Dial "M" for Musicology approached the question of how music blogs' "lightness" does/doesn't accomodate more academic pursuits.

I'll try to update here if anyone else picks up the thread as well, though I'll probably be lagging. Feel free to leave comments here or in the other posts if you're continuing the conversation.

Update, Oct. 10: Ironically, I logged off. Real life has pulled me away from the computer for most of this week, so I've only just now read the comments here and at Idolator. (Also, thanks to Shots Ring Out and Catbirdseat for linking here, too.) I'll return later tonight...
