Theres a core mission to, shall we say, make the inaccessible accessible?
Make the inaccessible exciting. We don’t assume that everything is for everybody. Not everybody reading The Wire is going to love everything in it. Some people will get turned off by, I don’t know, a Critical Beats column. To certain readers, it’s complete anathema to them that there’s music that has heavy 4/4 beats in it. Sorry, flip the page. You’ll find something else that will be of interest to you. The Wire is not for everybody, but everybody who comes to it should be able to enter at any point and understand what’s going on and be stimulated, one would hope, by something they might not otherwise have thought would be of any interest to them whatsoever. That’s our mission, really: to excite people about what we feel passionate about, whether it’s the Stooges, or whether it’s Akio Suzuki or whether it’s Basic Channel. This is our mission, the way we perceive it. I want to get an idea of your own journey to The Wire. The first chunk of your music journalism career was at New Musical
