Websites accepting writing on techno music?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I'm a music journalist and write the odd article on techno music that's too specialist or polemical for local magazines. I think it's a shame that this stuff is piling up on my hard drive, and was wondering whether there were any sites accepting unpaid articles about techno and related matters.

If this info helps, I tend not to be so interested in formal interviews and reviews etc, but like to write from a personal, opinionated perspective. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Start a blog, it's what everyone else is doing. It's the future of journalism (ask Andrew Sullivan) and you can parlay it into a payoff (ask Mickey Kaus).

Weblogs /= journalism. According to Maura and others.

Huh?

Sorry everyone, you're going to have to dumb it down. What's a blog? I can't see myself starting one, whatever it is, it just doesn't sound nice.

By the way, I've been scooting around this site, and I really love what I'm reading, very entertaining.

Blog's are the internet version of a zine; self-publishing in other words. Pontifications, diary entries, links, links, links,; half the people on this board have blogs, some of which are worth reading (ie. better than Salon). Submit to whatever magazines, publications you read, the worst that can happen is they'll ignore you.

Maura Tierney's the brunette chick from Newsradio.

What music specifically are you into, to go off topic?
