Oops....I'm sorry, I forgot, all those critics know SO much more about music and the like than we do, and therefore, they're_always_right!

And I guess I was silly for not noticing that the article was generally negative, but it took me a few reads.. blah. This probably blows the chance (if there even was one) for a show here, but if there were one of course it'd be 18+ in a club full of drunks. Damn them. By the way, is *anyone* going to any of the shows? It'd be neat if someone.. ::coughtapedtheshowcough:: what? no, i didn't say anything :Þ - --Samantha ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Sep 1998 16:37:14 PDT From: "Burgundy Wine" Subject: Re: That article.. well, it is apparent to me that the reviewer of the article is basically just your average critic. she is very good at analyzing the technicals and breaking it down into components as if it were machinery but she has no sense of character, and in turn, was not particularly receptive to the accomplishment. did you notice all she could do was make the most simplistic of comparisons with excessive use of adjectives to make it sound like she knew what she was talking about? errm, just a confused bitch. which is normal for music critics. after all, it is their job to make judgement on what they not always understand/relate with. i have just bought a magazine with an interview with rasputina. it was a shitty review because it really did not say anything. it talked about their bad experience opening for marilyn manson and how much small objects can hurt if hurled, due to momentum. it mentioned that melora, at one point, urged agnieszka to "play agnieszka, play!" because she had gone limp and distant on stage. it also mentioned melora's words on reasons for rasputina. she has many talents and interests but when she focuses on one, the others are neglected. people seemed to portray her more as a photographer though melora states that whatever she does, it is all a result of her character. it is all the same as what she tried to do in college, it is all just a form of expression. burgundy ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of goths-digest V2 #139 ***************************
