Hi all: Ugh,a couple of days off and this list gets all stormy as if we were in the cast for some C5 version of 'Wuthering Heights', I wonder if there is such interest to revamp 19th classics inputting flesh out of the corsets here and there,why nobody had suggested c5 media moguls about this latter project.It is disturbing even with corsets up and no cleavage. Going back to factual content: should over-privileged ones have a right to proclaim they are over-privileged and the rest of us nod along celebrating their fortune?It is a nearly theological matter,omigod.Connecting this last issue of discontent with our previous discussion of musical critical theory in the last 80's, I would agree that pre-reviews would only be acceptable if their language is so baroque and obscure, and say much more about the reviewer than about the album itself, offering two choices to the reader: a)Not having understood a word from the article actually, you still can enjoy the songs fully as if they were totally new to you when copies are available to the general public. b)Absolutely struck by the correspondant's interpretation, there is no need to listen to the songs, and you can pretend when being in some social conversation,his/her opinions are yours and look like there is something as deep as that in your airheaded mind. I used to practise the b)option in my shoegazing days.never bought any Pale Saints and managed to come across as a hugely intellected 17 years old.
