M/C Reviews

Back in Brisbane now, with plenty of news to blog about as soon as I get the time. For now, though, an important announcement to call for expressions of interest in joining M/C Reviews as a section editor:

A number of M/C Reviews section editors will be leaving us soon to pursue new opportunities - so, we're now calling for expressions of interest across all M/C Reviews sections (events, screens, sounds, style, and words). If you're interested in becoming an M/C Reviews section editor, please contact Axel Bruns at editor (at) media-culture.org.au.

Section editors manage the day-to-day flow of reviews; they liaise with events coordinators and publishers, and work with M/C Reviews' large group of reviewers. As section editor, you have a unique opportunity to network in the media and cultural industries, and to facilitate the continued work of M/C Reviews, one of Australia's longest-lived online reviews publications. All M/C Reviews section editors and reviewers are volunteers.

We look forward to working with you!

Very good review of Power to Believe. Did you send it to DGM?

I hadn't, but I've now sent off a quick message to Sid Smith, Crimso biographer and currently helping to build the upcoming new Website for their record label Discipline Global Mobile. I'm also including pointers to two earlier pieces for PopMatters:
