OMG

What if you and I are meant for each other? Some two people must be, so why not us? You're daunting, but I want to be daunted a little. (http://www.furia.com/page.cgi?type=twas&id=twas0192)

We've all thought it about a pop star, haven't we...

He returned to it in later columns and the proposal got a bit more metaphorical I think! I feel a bit bad now cos the bits I remember were the "OMG has he actually gone mad" bits and what made the site great was the mix of that fearlessness with self-indulgence, self-perception, life-writing, proper perceptive music writing, intensity etc etc. EVERY WEEK!

He turns up now and then to do those great stats lists for Pazz and Jop. He's a genuine godfather of music blogging (though I hardly ever agreed with him) and it's a shame the site's not more widely remembered.
