Is that Britney Spears
in the middle of that picture?
why shouldn't you offend someone who believes in 2000 year old Jewish zombies?
or multi-armed elephantine over-seers
or miraculous birthing through a slit in someone's side
etc...it's pretty much the ultimate WTF. Be offended, please.
Ok
well I'll source my pointing / roofing experts from The Yellow Pages.
My medical experts from my referrals, public statistics & other patients' reccomendations
And my musical expertise from anyone who consistantly turns me onto stuff I like, be it friends, blogs, messageboarders, small labels, promoters or a journalist. If the latter entertains me while doing so then great - he's earning his wage, but taste / tastemaking-wise there's no difference really...not any more. Not now promos are out of the window.
People aren't stupid - you trust the opinion of anyone who consistantly performs, or someone who maybe turns you onto stuff you'd not expect to like. It's just that these people's roles are no longer really mandated or validated by who pays them.
exactly...
I was quoting from the blog and how it's fatuous to compare the importance of music criticism 'experts' to medical / building trade experts.
Only to the point where I think you can realistically believe in the necessity for one while doubting the necessity of the other...definitely in these times.
Yes but you can be a not-wholly-passive consumer
and source your music just as much from things like friends' opinions, support bands you've seen, blogs, messageboards, label rosters of bands you like etc etc.
I'm not anti-music-journalism at all but it's just not that important.
And as for musical invention before resolution, this so often ends up in meandering arbitrary dissonance because they can't find the cadence in their heads. There's room for all sorts, but I'd put a lot of the top 20 above what a bearded man in zone 2 has done with a digitech pedal and some anachronistic keyboard, before crayonning a 7" cover.
People get mugged either way.
(disclaimer: I have a beard and live in zone 2)
oh it's linear.
this was after reading ET's blog
Oh Jesus, man...
4) Where has this skewed belief that we no longer require experts sprung from? Fuck, don’t whisper it to the building trade or in hospitals (for example).
People don't...categorically don't...need experts in the field of music criticism. It provides a little entertainment, possibly a little filtering, which probably matters far less than you perceive.
I can find my own way in the music I listen to while rarely consulting a critic. I can't really install a central heating system, perform a self-sppendectomy or reglaze a window.
You're slightly more WELL KNOWN than my GP but considerably less IMPORTANT...don't conflate the two.
who's that English weapon?
pretty film though.

Is this anything to do with Windsor Davies?
If so let me know asap and I'll read it.
"I get it all the time,
and they offer people a whole lot of money. Unfortunately I don't want to get on the bandwagon. You know, when a guy is singing to me about toilet paper - you may need the money but, I mean, rob a 7-11! Do something with dignity and save us all the trouble of peeing on your grave. I don't want to rail at length here, but it's like a fistula for me. If you subscribe to your personal mythology, to the point where you do your own work, and then somebody puts decals over it, it no longer carries the same weight. I have been offered money and all that, and then there's the people that imitate me too. I really am against people who allow their music to be nothing more than a jingle for jeans or Bud. But I say, "Good, okay, now I know who you are." 'Cause it's always money. There have been tours endorsed, encouraged and financed by Miller, and I say, "Why don't you just get an office at Miller? Start really workin' for the guy." I just hate it... The advertisers are banking on your credibility, but the problem is it's no longer yours. Videos did a lot of that because they created pictures and that style was immediately adopted, or aborted, by advertising. They didn't even wait for it to grow up. And it's funny, but they're banking on the fact that people won't really notice. So they should be exposed. They should be fined! [bangs his fist on the table] I hate all of the people that do it! All of you guys! You're sissies!"

Sounds like he acted like a complete flaps
then got the fuck kicked out of him for it.
That's a good thing, even though Black Lips >> Wavves.
