So who is this Keith chap?
And should I be upset that he dislikes my Santa Dog review so much.
Nah, didn't think so.
And is he really gonna shoot me? I'm guessing not.
I can't write for toffee. I freely admit that. Always have. That IS the point. I know with an increase in blogs/fanzines quality control goes out the window. That could be considered a downside. But like Bola said, i'd rather read clumsy and enthusiastic amatuers over proper 'hacks'. Always have done. That's why I loved buying fanzines in the 80s.
I just do my site to point out what I consider the best stuff around. That's far more important than being able to write. I've read music reviews in the past and wonder what the fuck 'the writer' is blathering on about. I am anti wordyness for it's own sake. I'll happily say 95% of my reviews are pish. But if even a few people read them, are then interested enough to check out what I consider to be good bands - job done.
And all the detractors of this world can take a running jump as far as I am concerned.
