Honestly people, if we didn’t love music like we do, we’d write a lot more about it. We could review every single CD that comes out, but we really wouldn’t be helping anyone. In case there’s any doubt, let me reassure you that we read every email that comes in- constantly discussing countless possible topics internally.
If everything Johnny and I said to each other was made public, not only would we quickly alienate every single publicist in the world, but we’d surely land ourselves on the FBI watch li– wait a sec, we’re already on that. Whatever. We’d have a lot more enemies, I’ll tell you that much.
But I’ve been ordered to publicize a comment I made earlier today, at the height of mid-hustle, no-time-for-bullshit crabbiness. We got a new MP3 from the band Flipper. I didn’t even have time to listen to it, but I fired off a brutal dismissal that apparently resonated not only with Johnny Firecloud, but with LA Weekly as well:
“The only reason anyone knows about Flipper is because Kurt Cobain wore one of their shirts once. Daniel Johnston did more with that endorsement, and he’s retarded.”
Now that I’ve had time to re-consider the situation with a level head, I humbly apologize to Daniel Johnston. He’s not retarded, and that was a very insensitive thing for me to say. Truth be told, I’m a huge fan of Daniel’s. I’ve seen him live, and he’s incredible.
The track, itself reminds me of the Anarchy in the UK, but it’s lame. Thank God it’s actually short.
Does Krist wear a hat on stage?
Artist are very sensitive, but sometimes need a swift kick in the ass even if the criticism is baseless.
It’s no Black Rain.
Seriously. What the shit did i just listen to?
You puerile twerps. Flipper was something back in the day, which is why Kurt wore the T-shirt. “Sex Bomb.” If you don’t get it, then it’s your problem.
