Pitchfork's Chris Ott takes No Prisoners

how has there not been a single mention of "bennies" yet?

Dude is going to be 65 and probably still excited that several decades before about twenty other dudes wrote about him on a message board.

If Ned hates you, you really must have no redeeming qualities.

ned is an o.g. hater

Why does Ned Raggett hate Belle and Sebastian with such unbridled intensity?

In answer to the band best-of lists

NED RAGGETT • NEW YORK LONDON PARIS MUNICH • POP • POST A COMMENT • 203 VIEWS
… I deem it both meet and right to speak about the music and related things I loathe. In an underrated essay from Neil Tennant that appeared in a mid-1992 issue of Details, he discussed hate as a motivating factor for creation and sense of self. To quote: “It tells you, by elimination, what you’re about. Sometimes you can only define yourself by what you hate. Hatred becomes an inspiration, it makes you think, ‘What I’m doing now I totally believe in, and I don’t care what other people say.’ Guided by hatred, you don’t have to follow the herd.”

And indeed, I know what deserves my venom.

iirc, Interpol and Elliott Smith too

The former, yes. The latter I was never really convinced by, though I was a Heatmiser fan. I just remember him doing an opening set for the Tindersticks in late 1997 that seemed pretty blah.
