Better late than never

This was my latest Pitchfork column, which was of great relevance to some things we were discussing 3 weeks ago but which also got published the day I went on holiday! The column was written in a pinch and is kind of a request-filler for something byebyepride wanted me to write a while ago.

It inspired an interesting discussion here by someone I don't know, and ALSO my first proper SLATING here. Sniping at P4k on my blog was how I got my gig in the first place so I can hardly begrudge them their venom!

that SLATING is pretty mild i guess, seems to have missed several points by a fair margin to me...

...yes, i am trying desparatly hard NOT to just call him a rockist, but y'know...

hahaha, also he's only been on blogger (i'm assuming it's a he here) 6 weeks, BLESS...

Yes I think he has missed some points. Weirdly I kind of AGREE that what I wrote was rly obvious (I was half expecting Sc0tt to email and say NO to it) but obviously it was not obvious enough for them!!

I am content with calling him/her/herm philistine and leave it at that.

for example, before pubic hair, i was into r & b (tony, toni, toné; TLC; etc.) and commercial hip-hop (craig mac's "brand new flava in ya ear" is more or less always stuck in my head). if i were to hear that music now, it would strike me as corporate, uninspired, lacking ingenuity. clearly, my tastes have changed.

What? Are you implying you've actually got pubic hair NOW? Ho ho ho, snickers.

clearly my tastes have changed

and now i only like things with integrity like RHCP and GREEN DAY

The site was so busy having a go at P4K that I have no idea what they actually like. MC Paul Barman probably.

Hmm. It is k-punk's attempt at fan-fiction?
