exactly. you just wind up with a roomful of pretentious social climbers redosing and talking about themselves all night while a bunch of bullshit like this drones muddily in the background:people on k don’t dance
people on c don’t vibe
Whatever you think of the music in Neon Screams the writing was brilliant, and if you managed to put petty jealousies aside (which there was a lot of on here unfortunately), was good enough to enhance the music itself, which is a rare thing.
Just been reading an extract of Oscar Wilde's the Critc as Artist - fucking amazing - and thought of Kit. He should read it, might encourage him to write some more.
"The highest criticism, then, is more creative than creation, and the primary aim of the critic is to see the object as in itself it really is not."
I think any good critic should aspire to this, and the best bits of Neon Screams get there imo.
Good readers should realise this too. Whether you personally like Migos or not, or whether you think what he's saying is 'true' is totally irrelevant.
You know what? I was just writing something in praise of you too related to the above, but now you can get fucked.I don't think Oscar Wild was thinking of fanfiction there, Benny. Why do you fail to read assiduously?

praising me for what, exactly? I do not want to be praised.
you are right that Kit should read it though. To repudiate the thesis of Neon Screams in his next book (like a true dialectician) and rhapsodise about Autechre and free jazz. then he will be the consummate critic, whilst you are still stuck in the miserable swamp of something so low and base that is referred to by the vulgar term 'fandom'.
Nevermind, just keep doing what you do.praising me for what, exactly? I do not want to be praised.
He did write something about autechre:
"music for people who've never had a kick about up the park with their dad. never done a cheeky slide tackle on their mates."
Wilde would have approved.

i would just like to add that I've never done either"music for people who've never had a kick about up the park with their dad. never done a cheeky slide tackle on their mates."
I always get a kick out of reading those kinds of comments written about the more abstract side of "dance" music here, and the implications that follow, considering this board is full of real tough thugs and roadmen who've been in plenty dangerous situs and started down death in the face, been chased by beautiful women, and had crowds of people spontaneously dancing and spitting rhymes to the beats they're throwing down.
Meanwhile, back to poetry...
