This is SO PERFECT. You've got the music-journalism voice down, and the AU is seamless--I also love your Kate and Hotspur; that goes without saying, naturally. They're so deftly portrayed, in love and practical and sniping and working together ... but OH GOD, SVD RECORDS, AND ALSO HALLIE SINGING 'ADAM RAISED A CAIN,' WHICH HAS BEEN MY HAL SONG FOR YEARS AND--NNNGH.

So, in short, I liked it! :D
