Pretty much everything I say on DrugPunk is intended for hyperbolic and/or rhetorical purposes, and shouldn't be taken too seriously. I don't revise posts after publishing them unless there's factual errors, but I didn't mean it as a personal snipe at you. Thanks for the comment, which is actually more intelligent than most of the stuff I write for the blog!Wizagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11382575342584017250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875525043831329939.post-50680782961780271512014-03-15T02:35:54.920-07:002014-03-15T02:35:54.920-07:00Hey, it's John, the guy you talk about at the ...Hey, it's John, the guy you talk about at the start of this post. Seems weird to be called a "jerk" who's "giving a hard time" to the Wizard, when my comments on Terminal Escape were polite and far from agressive (Go back and read them... I even mentioned enjoying/ following his blog, what kind of dumbass would mention this when trying to "give a hard time" to someone?) Obviously the point wasn't that someone can't enjoy "miserable" or "abrasive" music (duh, otherwise why would I waste my time following these blogs and listening to all these bands?), but that when one does a lot of music reviews without ever saying something negative, it becomes harder for the reader to trust that person's reviews. I'm not talking about sharing a record and saying "this band is just crap" obviously (if it's crap, why share it? I get this as, believe it or not, I'm not completely stupid) but SOME comments that don't sound like the writer is in love with everything and high on coffee all the time wouldn't hurt either, like, I don't know... "Great tape even if the drums sound way too clean", "love all songs except the third one which is terrible", "killer songs but the production should be more dirty", "great band/ terrible artwork", etc. Anyway, I thought his was common sense, that if there's never "negative" comments then the "postive" ones tend to become irrelevant, but maybe it isn't after all. With that said, thanks for doing Drug Punk, which I follow and enjoy as well... Just a bit disappointed to see that, apart from The Wizard himself, people respond to someone trying to TALK about the "art of music reviews" by being agressive straight away. Cheers, John.
