Your point stands though, there's some great stuff being ignored that way, but you have to ignore something because you can't listen to it all. Who are you worried about offending? If it's just me then go for it. If I think you're talking shit I'll tell you so.

But a phrase that keeps coming to mind is: Altruism wrapped up in a cult of personality. p.s. Zenm you're excluding yourself from a great wealth of super music out there. great playlist…..otherwise i think it’s best we have a chat over a pint with regards to the other stuff, cos i wouldn’t want to unnecessarily upset and offend anyone.

Well you know I have a different angle on this question, to do with the motive and impetus for writing two kinds of music review/criticism/commentary. But, that's just an ancillary conversation to the one you're having. interesting music this week! xoxo The Replacements, yay!
