I have no use whatsofuckingever for Chris Ott or Pitchfork (and I actually think "I Feel You"'s great Bad Company imitation is one of the best things Depeche Mode ever did, and I like a couple songs by the Dambuilders, too) but believe me: The items listed above are hardly "factual innacuracies." They're matters of opinion, okay??

C'mon man, if you are struggling to fill it with real stuff, why not farm it out? or use real store stats and give a second store some publicity and yourself some basis in fact.

OK, I should have chosen my words more carefully. "Only skimmed the article but noted a couple of very debatable opinions." But honestly, calling the KLF grebo makes about as much sense to me as calling Negativeland twee pop.

he went after jenkins for having a job, said 'yo' and other condescending shit for a while. i shouldn't have been awake with my phone in my hand to see it, but it was that kind of night.

In answer to the band best-of listsNED 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.”

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.
