I know the UK edition of RIU+SA is different to the American one, but Simon Reynolds is one of my favourite music writers. If you don't get on with him, run a mile screaming from Paul Morley... - -- http://www.lexical.org.uk/ | http://covertmusic.com/ | work: adw27@cam.ac.uk "pigeon?" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2006 09:48:00 EDT From: MarkBursa@aol.com Subject: Re: [idealcopy] OT recommended World Cup listening >>no, wait, is it better written that this POS "Tear It Up And Start Again" or whatever it was? goodness but that man needs some writing lessons! << In what way did you find Simon Reynolds' work hard going?

Really surprised anybody should say something like this - Reynolds is a superb writer (in my professional opinion!) >> i would say his writing is dry and undynamic. it was like reading a history text book on the Russo-Japanese War. sure, all the facts are there and in the right order, and you get a sense of the chronology of happenings, but i don't FEEL anything from it. unlike say, Jon Savage or Greil Marcus.... just my opinion of course. i found that reading that text made me sleepy, so i guess it was a good cure for my ongoing battle with insomnia....
