Date: 2009-03-06 05:56 pm (UTC)I struggle with Simon Reynolds, he just makes me so bloody angry lot of the time. I ranted a lot about his slagging of various "noise" genres of music (unspecified, obv, cos he does not know WTF he's on about) in his intro to "Bring The Npise", so I'll keep it short here: he *can* be smart, but he's usually a prick.
