You can't just let Thirdform alter the past because he wants to.
I think I'm being accused of liking music as a pose.
no? how many times do I have to say there is *nothing* wrong with snobbery. Call it a sense of discernment if you must, just don't get eczema on yer ball sack!
But reverse snobbery wasn't the reason I liked the music!
it's not a reason its a position
"So, Oliver, when did you stop beating your wife?"
But I didn't like the music to take a position either!
You're saying I chose to like it rather than choosing to like Dave Clarke or On Remand. That wasn't the case. I liked things like that too.
I had the intellectual ballast of Simon Price championing this stuff in Melody Maker if I felt the need for moral support. But that was just back-up for something felt instinctively.
in fact listening to subcultures which conflict with each other is a surefire way to develop a healthy psychic apparatus for a musicological lexicon. But then you have to admit your outsider status, which is exactly what the goldsmiths mandem did not think they were. Mixmag and prog house lovers making future garridge, thinking we would not see behind their mock attempts to present themselves as insiders!
this was my master tactic in the game. proper bergkamp peep in the hole. Deny this Craner!
