Guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 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?

joshuatxuk Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Rock Music journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read.

Deepex Posted May 5, 2010 Report 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.

Guest Echo Posted May 5, 2010 Report 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.

Guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) 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...

Guest thepilot Posted May 5, 2010 Report 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?
