I wrote a couple music reviews for a campus magazine at my university, and I certainly wasn't pursuing a career in journalism.
The review is terrible, I agree. But flaming this guy with emails is super lame. Tear the review apart, fine. Sending him emails is a little over-the-top, I think.

sending him Emails was totally over the top, 100% over the top, but i didnt actually mean we should do it, i was joking-looking for something to write really, i could of easily said we "should gather all the villagers with torches and march to his house and burn his house to the ground while his wife and kids are in bed"
but on a different note - career in journalism or not if your gonna write an "in depth" review of Rather Ripped you should at least be able to get the names of the band members right, like i mean, who in this day and age with the internet at everyones fingertips can say.."i could'nt actually find out the correct name of Sonic Youth's bass player"
the mispelling of Lee's name is trivial, i have terrible spelling myself and this comes from eating paint chips off the walls when i was a young lad, but i dunno about you guys, if i'm gonna put something up online for people to see (apart from this forum - which would be the exception cuz i dont really care to much if i get a spelling wrong here or there, you guys now know about my paint-chip obsession) i'm gonna have the facts right. otherwise, whats the point?
a little of this may be my fault though, my name is Jerry, but if i see it spelt Gerry i fuckin loose my mind, i'm probably only guessing Kim GORDON thinks the same.
but yr right, sending him e-mails is totally over the top - but i didnt really mean we should do it, i just love to shock, lets send him SYPHILIS instead.
