--Gave Don't Believe the Truth a glowing review. Called it "great." WTF?
--Said Damon Albarn showed "promise." WTF?
--Said the Trail of Dead show failed miserably. "Trail leads nowhere." Said they narrowly avoided an "emo-tag." WTF? Have anyone of you that's seen a ToD show been at any way disappointed? I couldn't imagine that after what I saw, but Ben Wener sure saw it that way.

But it is Wener's writing style that bothered me the most. Reads like the obituary notices, he does.

Now, ordinarily I let this stuff go. Bad taste can be forgiven I suppose. But this, in conjunction with his poor writing style and the fact the newspaper I pay for pays this guy, led me to believe I was well within my rights as a taxpayer to email him and call him a twat.

Did I do the right thing, cos I'm feeling silly and guilty about it? I should practice what I preach and just quietly mind my own business and never leave DiS and Pitchfork again...right? ;-)

Cos part of me feels like emailing him again. "Are you a music critic or just some git off the street?"

Music Critics - love 'em and hate 'em. Vent here!
