Seriously, he is my favorite reviewer out there. I really regret he works for that crap rag, but he's good. Even when I disagree with him, I enjoy his interpetation of the music. Here is his recent review of Beck's Guero. I don't have a subscription but always look for his reviews online.

He is pretty consistently entertaining, and it looks like he has a new column-ish type thing too. In the most recent issue it is about Durst.

Plus, being 6'5" he helps prove what I told Dave Grohl once, as he semi-gawked at me in the Black Cat in DC "Yeah, Tall people like music, too, dude"

Should not have Grohl known this, given he played in Nirvana, with six-feet-seven-inches Krist Novaselic on bass?

I only read him when he was on Audiogalaxy, and I thought he was a pretentious fuck. Maybe he's different in RS.

my straying thread comes back to me!

_________________
I tried to find somebody of that sort that I could like that nobody else did - because everybody would adopt his group, and his group would be _it_; someone weird like Captain Beefheart. It's no different now - people trying to outdo ! each other in extremes. There are people who like X, and there are people who say X are wimps; they like Black Flag.
