Peter Robinson (journalist)
- Peter Robinson (journalist)
Peter Robinson is a British music journalist. He is the creator of the pop music-based blog Popjustice. Recently, he has been hired to create the new Channel 4 music website along with the anonymous author of blog "Holy Moly" [ [http://arts.guardian.co.uk/netmusic/story/0,,1469748,00.html All singing, all dancing | | Guardian Unlimited Arts ] ] . Robinson first came to the attention of music fans with his self-published biography/fanzine of The KLF, "Justified and Ancient History". [Nicol, J., "Justified And Ancient History" review, "Q Magazine", May 1993.] He is also the author of three other books: "The Official Story" and "On Tour" for UK pop band Busted, and also the author of the tie-in book to UK reality TV show .
His tongue-in-cheek writing harks back to the style of '80s magazines like Smash Hits, and often features running gags. His NME column "Peter Robinson Versus...", in which he conducts a page-long interview over the phone, is a favourite among NME fans for its irreverent tone and non-sequitur topics, still going strong after 5 years. Perhaps because of his familiarity with the pop music scene, it features more mainstream pop and hip-hop artists than the rest of the indie-oriented magazine.
In November 2006 he won a Record of the Day PR & Music Journalism Award in the Breaking Music: Writer Of The Year category. Popjustice won in the Best Online Music Publication category.
