Whatever happened to the music press?
"This is a great piece of writing. I may or may not agree with it all – doesn’t matter, shouldn’t ‘ave to. I have nothing to add to the “debate” except that the debate gets on my nerves.

I just want to read great writing, get fired up, get other ideas sparked off in my brain, talk to people about it maybe, y’know. That kind of thing."

Suck My Minaj
By Hannah Golightly
Tonight Everett True has seriously pissed me off. I guess he’ll like that. I’m feeling irrationally annoyed that Nicki Minaj sucks. Maybe it’s the feeling of betrayal. Usually when ET leads me up a garden path with music, at the end of it we at least enter the Secret fucking Garden. But oh no! Not this time. No … this time I’m just up a garden path feeling pissed off in my party dress. (more…)
