writing for the 405

Yes, I have been lazy, but not totally lazy.

Been writing for the 405 recently, here's what I wrote, or at least the start, go to the site to read the whole thing.

Music is invariably about what you hear not what you see, right? Yes. But the visuals deserve our attention too.

There are many songs which people have been utterly dismissive off at first, perhaps they were too loud or too quiet to grab our attention - but when a video is added, and it’s good enough to grab your attention again and again, the song and the band all of a sudden become noteworthy (I for one became a fan of Health and the xx through their videos).

Every few weeks I’ll be interviewing music directors, taking a closer look at their work and seeing where they get the inspiration from when it comes to putting together visual representations of our favourite songs.
