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.
