Go no further. Indie fans don't go to, say, boomkat to read reviews with searing insights on how their favoured music is 'shit' (though I note this dubious delight is now available - e.g. http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=20380 - why?). The mistake is allowing these people the 'space' to submit such witless dross in the name of 'review'. Bah. Give 'em fingers, ears, a keyboard and an internet connection and they think they're Critics ;-/ alan
