  1. Christgau is dreadful. Rolling Stone as a music magazine is dreadful. Reading Pitchfork is an exercise in pseudo-intellectualism. New Musical Express is printed by idiots for idiots to keep them idiots. Drowned in Sound is bullshit. There is precious little good music/left of centre music journalism out there. The relaity is that music journalism has been rendered obsolete by advances in Internet technology. We don't need record reviews when we can have the album streamed to us. 95% of bands are dreadful to interview and have nothing to say anyway. All the best people to interview have been around for a fair while, people like Michael Stipe, Rufus Wainwright, the Flaming Lips. We don't need music critics any longer. Even when we did, most of them were shit. Lester Bangs's rotting, drug-ridden corpse agrees with you.
  2. Bit of an overblown, egotistical twat. But he likes Pere Ubu, so I'll give him that. At least he isn't one of the douchenozzles writing for Pitchfork....
