not intentionally though. they're still wallowing in oblivion.

i wish i could find it but there was a clutch review of Spiritualized's Ladies and Gentlemen that was basically an angsty review of a party the kid was at. needless to say i was loling hard.

I prefer Piero Scaruffi...

It's as if Christgau doesn't even put any effort into his work.

I don't think I've had the slightest clue as to what he's on about.

David Fricke is the only music critic I particularly like, really.
I've just found this and for some reason reading what you put I was expecting it to be a rapturous acclamation. It's not. Should be fun reading it.

I can't believe it took me over two years to notice this but hell no. DiCrescenzo is without a doubt the worst music reviewer I've ever read. Completely worthless writing that tells you absolutely nothing about the music.

the WRC (Web Reviewing Circle) is where it's at - George Starostin, Mark Prindle, John McFerrin, Donignacio and Ade Denning (even if I think he's a twat)

Yeah, I have nothing against Christgau. In real life I don't even think he has a pretentious attitude, I think he just approaches the whole reviewing process in a completely different manner than what most people are used to. I find that refreshing, not particularly annoying. Yeah, sometimes he sounds like a dick, but at the end of the day all music reviewers have to sound like dicks to a certain degree. Who the fuck wants to listen to the same sycophantic bull**** about how great a certain band is?
