Neon Screams!

[Corpsey]

Was he mentioned in the book or is this a more longstanding beef?

Muggs thinks that this expresses @blissblogger's disdain for rappers as people



when it fairly clearly expresses that the personae essayed for entertainment in this entertainment form are obnoxious caricatures, enjoyment of whose obnoxiousness is understood by everybody involved to be part of the point. Literally nobody cares if the performer's a nice person in real life.

yeah but there's no point saying anything as he's pulled the classic move "i'm not going to argue with a load of nerds on the internet, i'm just going to post on tumblr why i am right and the best and leave it at that", a little bit like @blockhead's posting style, lol

here's an experiment you can try at home - go to amazon.co.uk and type "joe muggs" in the search box ( all products )

when I did it, this was the 6th item in the results...

love it when people take the effort of writing a million words about how they don't care about a certain thing.

I haven't read the book, but I read that Joe Muggs thing and it came off like someone with an axe to grind cloaking themselves in progressive language to get people on side, or at least make them think twice about publicly disagreeing.

 

[Benny Bunter]

He hasn't changed a bit in 10 years apart from nowadays hes even worse cos he's going for woke points

his core beef seems to be with Simon, "neon screams" gets caught up in it. not just guilt-by-association, though: muggs does accuse Kit of following Simon's lead.

Wonder why The Wire decided he was the one to review it.

 

[Leo]

maybe they weren't aware of the history between Joe and Simon. if so, Joe could have passed on the assignment, maybe he needed the money.

 

[Corpsey]

I think he's right - terrible book by what I assume to be a horrible person.

this is the particularly icky part. longstanding, very childish feuds are an integral part of music writing, that in itself is fine, par for the course

 

[Leo]

I know someone who's book got a less-than-stellar review in The Wire, and he's convinced it was because he'd give that writer's own book a lukewarm review a few years earlier.

that's not my posting style at all...... cunt!

 

[blockhead]

my well-honed cadence compared to muggsy, might as well kill myself
