There are publications where you are publicated in print, Katherine, which Goon Tie could purchase if he wanted to read more. Is what I meant. I think.

Fair play to Lex, that was one of the funniest jokes in this thread. All downhill from there.

Lex doesn't do humor because he's not American.

He doesn't do humour, either.

Maybe the Muppets aren't as big of a cultural force in the UK as it is here in North America.

ok which of the two ronnies are you then

That Jezebel piece is surprisingly fair and has a great deal of OTM about it.

I agree w Maura and Ann re turnabout "My Wife's Stupid Record Collection". But I hope the brave guy writes better than Sarah O'Holla.

Either way, I'm sure Jezebel will be all over it, and rightfully so.

Some of the comments on that Jezebel piece, wow. The ones from women are illuminating and the ones from that d and d guy are hilarious.

I mostly like the article in spite of having that annoying forced casual style. I didn't really like the end about how people should just write what they feel maaaaaaan.

It's just one of those things that sounds like a vaguely good idea, but how many music reviews like that would you really want to read? Plus I think most good music writers write with both knowledge and feeling.
― james franco tur(oll)ing test (Hurting 2), Friday, 21 March 2014 01:38 (ten years ago) link
That'd be ideal, bt way too often that knowledge doesn't work in a record's favour. I'm sick of googling for reviews of something I'm loving cos I want to read more and finding a bitter critic going "This sounds like something I heard 20 years ago so it's worthless", esp as I've p much always heard those things too and somehow don't let it ruin everything NOW for me

If you're a woman and you do a thing, you can't *ever* just do a thing (bad or good), you do a thing, and there's 700 posts worth of people's ~feelings about women~ attached to you and your thing.
And it gets super tiresome and tedious after a while.
