If I had wanted your life story, I would have rented the movie...and if I'd
wanted to make it personal, I'd have made fun of your name. Either way,
Robert Zemeckis probably wouldn't have taken too kindly to it, "and that's
all I have to say about tha-at."
And it's not Mr. Dark Swan, dipshit. You don't know about MY life, you
DON'T know what I go through, and you CAN'T IMAGINE how much this means to
me. It's Ms. So get your gender issues straightened out before you know
what the fuck is up. WORD!!! (c'mon, you can do better than that, can't
you?)
On to the slaughter: I know people who write and edit for XLR8R, and I know
just how many slots you're likely to get for reviews. It's not hard to
check the credits and see that you just started writing for XLR8R. And it's
not hard to count the number of reviews you had in Is. 38, either (you ain't
exactly Tomas, who's calling the shots). What is annoying is your mass
email, riding the coattails of XLR8R's good name in order to get free music
you *may* get to review. This is the public domain; have some fucking
respect for the other aficionados on these lists, and keep the business side
to yourself. Labels and artists are selling music/art, and that's why they
post to the list; as a journalist, you're not selling anything--you're a
sounding board for what's good and what's bad. If you *are* selling
anything, it's only yourself: "oh look at me and my fantastical words...I'm
the patron saint of the small and DIY!" It's not about you, The XLR8R
Writer of Techno Reviews, it's about the music. There are too many writers
running around playing like they're God's gift to artists and "the scene."
Come off it.
The Dark Swan
