Agreed. My primary complaint with most music journalism is that it's simply boring, and generally poorly informed. For all the aspersions cast in his direction by members of this list, I at least think Simon Reynolds is at least interesting to read (even thoughe he is eminently disagreeable, coins more hyphenated neologisms than Kodwo Eshun, and just had to gratuitiously drop the fact that Brendan Gillen reads Baudriallard in his arcticle about Ectomorph -- puke :)...But in general most reviewers don't know shit. Alrighty, enuf digressing -- back to the choons.
