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 ;-/
