no. he listened to indie at that time. his introduction to dance music was dubstep, if you consider dubstep to be dance music.

Give him a break though, he probably bought a copy of New Forms when it won the Mercury prize.
Simon praised that album rather vociferously. probably even more than Muggs would today, as he's on a jump up kick.
You know they're talking about Joe Muggs and not Simon, right? I get the feeling some wires are crossed here. We like Simon.
don't. nothing more cringey than gb news white ragga junglists recycling the same capleton acapellas and amens without even being able to swing.

This was Muggs?? It sounds just like Reynolds
Corpsey's trying to cultivate a Capleton voice.
Since everyone else is bantering: Joe Muggs is a music journalist who is obsessed with Simon and seems to spend at least half his articles carrying on a more or less one-sided feud with him that's been going on for a decade or more. Simon lives in his head "rent free", as they say.
course it does, benny's picking a fight over nothing. the problem with Muggs is he's a liberal, but so is Benny.

Talking of psychoanalysis, you really should read Harold Bloom's The Anxiety of Influence. It's a sort of Oedipal theory of how creativity works. To escape the oppressive influence of the dead precursor, the successor poet has to willfully misread the ancestor's work, to find or create "gaps" in it.
What's that thing you love to quote? "I must make my own system or be a slave to another man's"--something like that. Poking imaginary holes in another's construction is not the same as building your own. You're still at the stubborn misreading stage. And unfortunately in this case the precursor poet isn't dead, but still around to dissect your queerly motivated distortions and bizarre projections.

I’m American so none of these absurd rules apply. They’re geographically null.

He killed him there. This is why Joe just can't let it go. Probably still goes over it in his head when he's in the shower.
