Fun Stuff > BAND
QC Music Blog discussion thread
Jackie Blue:
And its effectiveness is not something I'm doubting.
I think we've achieved détante.
facism is sneaky:
Look guys, I for one am a huge fan of the ridiculously obscure indie band that only 5 people have heard of.That said, if you want a review of bands that are less indie, write it. Theres no reason to criticise othe people for presenting what they want to present, just start something new if you believe it needs to be started.
Jackie Blue:
Lurk more.
I never once said I cared about which bands the blog covers.
Johnny C:
I have to significantly disagree with most of what you've said, man. Everything from the notion that Polvo are not only not obscure but somehow less obscure than Low to the declaration that their writing should be a bit more factual when only three posts earlier you link to Freakytrigger who are some of the smarmiest, most subjective "poptimists" on the planet. Having spent ten months writing for Stylus Magazine along with Tom Ewing, I can assure you that however good his writing is his taste in pop music is rather dire. Dude loves T.a.T.u. with all his heart.
Honestly, if you're a reader and fan of Freakytrigger then I feel comfortable saying that the writing of nearly no-one on this forum will interest you in the slightest. The writing style and the subject matter will both be a world apart from the self-conscious cleverness and pop culture awareness of that website.
I think the blog is fine. If anything it could use a little bit more focus as the articles at the moment tend to sprawl a wee bit, and when the idea has already expanded into a serial format that makes for an awful lot of ground being covered. It gets overwhelming. However, it's nothing unreadable and it's certainly not bad. The Black Flag bit alluded to earlier is some of the funniest music writing I've read in a while.

What a shock.
I've known Tom Ewing for 12 years. I enjoy his writing style and I think he has good taste in pop music.
That does not imply that I can not enjoy other writing styles or other tastes in music.
Appreciation of Public Enemy does not imply dismissal of John Prine.
