Guest Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/archives/2010/04/dont_believe_th.php# one Christopher R. Weingarten does a mildly entertaining high energy rant against internet. he sure delivers a few points… …but isn't this whole pop music thing losing much of its teenage identity struggle relevance to video games and other futuristic things anyway?

Deepex Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I enjoyed the rant, because he IS spot on about the blog / internet music culture, but that doesn't mean I'd rather read Rolling Stone. Fuck that shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Echo Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I don't think I've ever used a review (internet or print) to decide whether or not to buy an album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 well i used to. But that was back in 2002/2003 when i was looking mostly for obscure experimental bands which were unknown to anyone i had contact to at the time, and the internet was still largely a hostile alien landscape to me. seemed like a good idea to read the digests of people in the know, and i've ordered some interesting CDs just based on a interesting review. how things have changed… but this guy here is going on about pop writing, which indeed seems like a dead thing just as pop itself innit, it simply doesn't matter anymore. Media marginalization/hybridization and all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thepilot Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 What is with the swearing? Instead of coming across as an intelligent individual with a valid point or two, he looks like a baby throwing a tantrum saying fuck this and fuck that. He shits on the literary competency of college students and proceeds to rant like a third grader. Indie rock, lol. He's angry because someone would rather use a machine's recommendation than read his sage "indie" wisdom. Someone escort him back to his time machine and kindly ask him to go the hell back to 1994. Math rules all industry. Why? Cause money = math and cash is king, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
