Tom's final Poptimist column

Plus his useful three-part FE guide to how and why (1, 2 and 3): exemplary exploration of tactics, strategy, aims achieved and (occasionally) not, in all an opportunity seized and very well used first to last. 

If you’re a music-writing geek, a plain old music geek, or a geek who likes to geek out about others’ geekdoms, you have to check these links. Tom Ewing published his final Poptimist column today at Pitchfork (it’s predictably great), and he revisits and annotates each of his 45 columns at the above links. Seriously, if there have been 20 great music minds to come along in the past 15 years, Tom moves among the top 3. I’ve stolen so many ideas from him, and strive to write about super-deep subjects with his brand of insight, lightness, and economy. Is it a British thing? Congrats on a great run, Tom.

What he said.
