i submitted a couple reviews to discogs.com yesterday (they
finally got their sh*t together enough to send me my password
after having not been able to log in for a year because their lost
password thing didnt work). i got one back that was rejected on
the grounds of "self-hype"??!?!?! here was the review:
"Divination" is UFO!'s second greatest moment (only to "Enemy
Infiltration". I played this tune for an experimental/breakcore
audience and even they could get into the absolutely nuts synths.
The squeals drive the dancefloor crazy!
what are these guys smoking? where is the self hype here? (i even
use an alias on there that has nothing to do with my deejaying or
anything else. how can i hype myself if no one knows who i am?)
oddly enough, another one of my comments where i refer to a record
not leaving my box for 2 years is about to get passed, because
that apparently isnt self hype. i want to add more records reviews
because i love the site and theres plenty of tunes that deserve
comment that have none, but if theyre suddenly going to become
asinine, its not going to be worth it for me.
