that was so stupid it was brilliant...thats exactly the kind of fluff i'd give to a mag such as Q....on that note, perhaps I should mention Im working on an album, in which i cover avril's Let Go from start to finish from memory...only i'll listen to the last track, "Naked" because i want to get the lyrics down, but the rest will be from memory....i think i last heard it 3 years ago...Im blatantly copying what Dirty Projectors did with Black Flag;s album this year, but its ok...

yeah, poor dumb girl.

awesome songs, though.

that was boring and not a big deal at all. and avril's ugly. hardly a must-read.

she is a fucking dumb shit fuck and you all know it and if you don;t beleve it then YOU are the deluded one. she is a fucking mas smarket dipshit fuck. the sooner she dies of an O/D the better our world will be
hallelujah

"I am a very giving person, when the hurricane thing happened, i went to my closet, filled six boxes of stuff and said to my assistant, "Take it to Katrina" I also like to give stuff to people who are my "Workers" espcially if they don't make much money"

"It's important to be thankful, even if your poor. I mean come one, we all have clean water - well ok not people in the developing world."

How can you not find this shocking!

when I say wasted, I mean wasted.

This one doesn't even make sense. I can see why Lindsay Lohan get's her kicked out of clubs when she arrives.

"When i go to a party, i am the party! I'm the girl doing shots, jumping on tables, screaming and getting wasted.
Am i advocating drugs? No! When i say wasted, that doesn't mean i go crazy, Drink in moderation, Be responsible, yeah?"

"I am the girl doing shot's, jumping on tables, screaming........"
"Drink in moderation, be responsible......"

Wha?????

In other words, you're the attention whore that's getting on everyone else's nerves? Awesome.

i always hated her, but now its been taken to a whole other level.

why do you let yourself hate someone like her? people like her just need to be ignored.

Yeah, Avril Lavigne is cool because you can jump over her many levels and get to the next one just like that!

A good music journalist would criticise the music simply for what it is, regardless of their perceived feelings of what it is or what it might be, when it's simply not what they might think it is. Also, attacking the music because the reviewer doesn't have simpathy for the musician is one of the worst acts of unprofessionalism ever. Who gives a toss if such and such musician is a real arsehole? For as long as they make good music, it's all fine by me. Then you have cases when both the musician and the music are shite, and in that case they don't stand a chance. In general, music journalism is one of those professions that's being shat upon for so long and so many times, that it became really hard to find out who's doing a good job, rather than being a haven where people flash their own arrogance around.
Another thing is people who improvise themselves as experts in music simply because they have a big record collection, or because they have half an idea of this or that. They are the worst, same as those people who have access to gear and want to make music, but fail to sit down and truly think hard about the amount of talent that's in them. Sorry for this long rant, but it's a quiet day at work.

Well i just reckon theres a certain culture of it at the moment, and i suppose in a way because of the internet it means that people who did sit up and think "Hang on, The Neon Bible really wasnt that much cop" have an easier way of finding people who agree, and just appreciate a more objective methodology of reviewing. I do think theres a load of vested interests informing the way the mainstream press reviews music at the moment. Then again i could be reading too much Private Eye.

I have a couple things I'd like to discuss.

A 17-year-old can hold a good conversation with an adult. It's not hard. I somehow doubt she could now too.

I also doubt she'll be in a "super-cool indie flick". I get the feeling that the problem isn't with the script, it's her. She doesn't seem too bright.

And lastly, I'm a simple midwestern boy, could someone explain what spirituality is? It seems to be the kind of thing people say to pretend to look smart. Seriously, what is it? I have no fucking clue and I've heard it countless times. I'm starting to wonder if no one knows what it is.

she had a bit-part in Linklaters 'Fast Food Nation' didn't she?

I can tell you one thing it isnt anything to do with rotating the contents of your room through 90 degrees.

It's something people say that have to sound more interesting, and something that few people actually really have.
