THE APRIL 1999 IDM/SIMON REYNOLDS MEDIA POLL
We here at Reuterz have never been shy of jumping onto the latest
bandwagon, and to do a better job of this, we have resorted to taking a
count of people's opinions, after which we will sort our editorial
viewpoints accordingly.
With the "help" of Hyperreal's crack team of security thugs, we asked 463
IDM readers:
"Would Reynolds know his ass from a hole in the ground?"
Reuterz is dedicated to bringing you the objective information you need to
slag established music critics like Reynolds without having to look over
your shoulder. Because, after all, there's nothing more embarassing than
being caught having not fired shit back at the list's daily pariah.

Reuterz/Hyperreal SIMON REYNOLDS MEDIA Index, polling conducted by ICR
Survey Research of Media, PA., April 5-9, 1999. N=463 adults worldwide.
"Would Reynolds know his ass from a hole in the ground?"
survey sez
%
Are you talking to me? (yes, he would know) 2
Mayhaps (possibly; with the help of a flashlight) 6
Isn't he already an asshole? (nay, he would not know) 92

Well, the people hath spoken. The Reuterz Corporation will now resume
cheerfully collecting shitty, rare v/vm at inflated prices...
In an odd twist of irony, Reynolds rallies against obscurist fetishism;
although, without elitist hipsters to search out obscure music criticism
(like his) of music that is itself relatively obscure (like IDM), he would
be unemployed and more or less anonymous.
