MUSIC CRITICISM IS A JOKE
So, this guy stole my shtick.
It’s okay. He does it well. Perhaps better.
I thought while I was being negligent you might like some sort of meal replacement.

actually, i would simply prefer you to be less negligent in future.
your loyal fans are dying of starvation, because we eat nothing but maggie. this is your fault: now that we’ve been weaned from mediocrity, we cannot go back.

Meg, it’ll always be there when you feel the need to do it. It’s not like it has to be an either/or proposition — not unless someone is paying you for it.
By the by, that Cat Power post was ace. I’m pretty indifferent to Cat Power (although I loved her collab with D3 on their album Cinders), but “transcendence” is what I think we really want from music. A moment of sound that makes life grand — if only for a moment.
I wish it happened more often, but, really, my point is that it doesn’t matter where the fuck it comes from when it happens.

‘This guy’, while making a lot of good points about bad writing, seems to have a personal beef with metaphor. Picking a metaphor apart by imagining it literally is kind of sloppy and childish; it’s what just about all the humour in alien sitcoms is derived from and it’s fucking LAME. See Mork & Mindy, ALF and Perfect Strangers for reference.
‘This guy’ would never get more than a chapter into a Raymond Chandler novel without having an aneurysm.
