also, unlike most music writing, it is focused on the music

It's easier said than done.
Another thing I would nominate, more genuinely, is the Last Plane to Jakarta thing about "Mission Viejo" by Lifter Puller from 2001. Probably one of the more affecting music-focused pieces I've ever read. It made me listen to the song many times, and I was happy to get to do so, because it's a great song that I wouldn't have otherwise heard if I hadn't read it. So, nice job, whoever did Last Plane to Jakarta.
