I like when he does Jersey Girl

I don't.
I hate his fucking guts. The 'gravel-voiced* spokesman for blue collar America' dullard.

You got that right.

I am the
sweeping, scathing music pontificator of /OT. My job is to say an artist* is FUCKING SHIT, particularly when no-one else agrees.

*such as diminutive cock-end Paul Simon

Of course you both are right...

I just like moosic, Mont

I'm the same.
But I'm more scathing than you are when it comes to artists or work I don't like. It's the contrast between what I regard as quality and everything else that annoys me so much...

Mediocrity is what I loathe most of all.

Oh I care not a jot for quality!
it's sheer fluke that some stuff I like happens to be considered 'decent'.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 19 Feb 2010, 17:39, Reply)

I have a somewhat skewed view of quality
I adore Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers and they were a fucking mess.

I like the 'idea' of JT & TH...
...a lot more than the insipid and badly-produced wankery of a sad declining junky. 'Chinese Rocks' was better by The Ramones and even Soft Cell improved on 'Born To Lose'.

And this is what I love about 'music talk'; I know I am 100% right and so do you - but even more truthful is that not many will have this sort of conversation about Paolo Nutini who is as wet as a kipper's bikini.

Edit -if that sounds self-righteous it is because I am totally fucking righteous about this.

The 'lost 77 mix'
of LAMF is a revelation. They were disgusted by how the LP sounded when it was released and the alternate mix on the above release is fucking marvellous, like it should have been.

The only thing Marc Almond has ever improved on is the world record for the most spunk ever consumed in one go.

As for liking 'the idea' of a band more than their actual records the classic for me is the Happy Mondays, who were fucking entertaining chaps apart from their actual tunes, which to my tastes, bar two or three tracks, were really pretty shit...
