i think the paradigm of "music criticism" fully deserves criticism back
from musicians. 

- I agree. 

in the field, pretty much all i see and read right now is a huge amount
of hack-work. this disposable, meaningless music writing deserves to be
challenged just as much as the writers believe they're challenging the
face of music. 

- I thought that article about you in Signal to Noise a few months back by
Dan Warburton was pretty good, as well as the reviews of your albums in the
Wire shortly before that.
