then again, i was reading the christmas NME (it was at a friends
house, ok?) and they played v/vm's true steppaz thing to Jonny L, and
he really hated it, and started going on about musicality and craft.
he was really really offended by it, and said it sounded like 'just
some kid with a computer' (and he used that as an insult!)
i was really disappointed by what he said, i mean, come on, it's
Jonny L. he made the wonderful 'Hurt You So', and then he turns out
to be a rockist old fool. he was talking about travis or something
and praising its craft. he didn't seem to like it that much, and said
it was good for 'the student crowd' i think, but he liked the fact
that travis 'meant it'. shudder...
