My feature on the future of black British music is here, and I am rather proud of it.

Also! I applaud new Kanye and excoriate old McCartney. And they both make the Guardian music front page

Dude I will TOTALLY set up a website for you. For free and everything. Please?

OK!

Um...I have no idea about the logistics of this. I'm vaguely envisaging something sorted by category...like, reviews, features, other stuff. And maybe a blog type platform attached too? I dunno, tell me what things websites should have!

Well rhodri keeps all his journalistical stuff on his website here with a direct feed from his public livejournal entries in the middle (it's easy enough to embed a simple Blogger feed in there if you don't want stuff from your lj) and article links down the sides.

You'd want a section bigging yourself up for any potential freelancing work. And maybe a feed in from your last.fm stats?

Also, have a look at celentari's blog here - that's more of a straight blog with regular links to her articles and less emphasis on 'hi dere please give me work', but having lots of blog post material on there will give people a feel for a) what your writing style is like b) quality vs quantity etc.

I'm off work next week - dya wanna meet up for lunch in Stokey one day and we can have a chat about it?

Rhodri's looks good - similar to Sophie Heawood's, which I also like v much. I think what I want is more a repository for articles rather than something I actively blog on - but maybe it could have a section for a tennis-only blog (which is something I keep meaning to start) - ie not the focus of the site but another category.

Anyway POWER LUNCH sounds good! Am free every day except Monday I think.
