I used to do it.
The plus-ponts:
You get free records/DVDs/gig passes
You meet famous people
You work from home mostly
The Negatives:
Money isn't good to start with, but can be very good in the end.
An idiot sub-editor will re-write your particularly brilliant review or article into something that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Deadlines
The reality:
You will become very jaded, very fast.
You will end up reviewing albums you haven't actually listened to, films you haven't seen, books you haven't read and gigs you never went to, just because it's easier.
