why are a lot of music writers fat or at least chubby or maybe just a bit lard-like? why dont they go and do a bit of exercise in between blagging and ligging?

I was 280 in high school and kind of ostrasized [sp-fuck you], so i couldn't really get into the sex and drugs that all the cool kids were into.

So I stayed at home and listened to records.

I lost the weight but kept the obsessive listening habits. I'm sure a lot of music writers just keep both.

the use of vice as the anono-email is hilarious though.. given that they write the laziest music reviews on the planet. too busy running around town looking for drug(ged out people to exploit for future magazine issue)s.

― donut e-go (donut), Thursday, 23 June 2005 16:24 (twenty years ago)

my favorite Vice reviews are the ones where they review mainstream pop music and start ranting about gay people, roffle, so hep

why are a lot of anonymous posters unfunny or at least wankers or maybe just a bit dick-like?

Probably b/c most anonymous posters are actually the same person.

I'm too nervous to be fat, and I jump around to music a lot. And play a mean game of tennis.

Ah, see, there's the thing--the Vice people are running, whilst you are sitting.

I personally enlarged a skinny music writer.

That sounded dirty.

― Maria :D (Maria D.), Saturday, 13 January 2007 22:58 (nineteen years ago)

No it didn't, actually it made me laugh out loud, though. Good one, Maria.

― White Drunks on Pope (Bimble...), Saturday, 13 January 2007 22:59 (nineteen years ago)

xpost MARIA! I do NOT need that info. Esp not since I thought those two pics of you guys were so CUTE! :-)

Oh, and to answer the guy's question: because the journos stole your lunch money.

thought most of these guys were thin dudes with glasses

"blagging" and "ligging" are quite funny words; my recollection is that turn of century melody maker and NME were basically 80% these words

^^ iirc the singer out of this lot BLINDED a music writer in a racism beef

yup. that happened @ manic street preachers post gig party in leeds that my cousin organised.
still being sorted out in court from what i last heard as when i mentioned this incident on guardian blog thread it was deleted due to legal reasons !

― mark e, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 15:35 (seventeen years ago)

hey music writers, lay off the CAKE

― u have a new mistress my friend and her name is little debbie (omar little), Wednesday, 13 May 2009 15:36 (seventeen years ago)

till being sorted out in court from what i last heard

Are they suing his estate or something cos he died nearly 10 years ago??

― I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 13 May 2009 16:58 (seventeen years ago)

Imagine my surprise when watching a music documentary, and on comes an intimidating, craggy-faced man dressed rather nattily. And the subtitle says, "Nick Tosches". THAT'S WHAT TOSCHES LOOKS LIKE? BUT HE'S A MUSIC CRITIC.

― bendy, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 19:39 (seventeen years ago)

I thought all music critics looked like Elvis Costello?

― henry s, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 22:15 (seventeen years ago)

it was hilarious that when i met a load of british music critics in a pub once (a sort of LBZC plus Southall thingy) they were ALL wearing the SAME rectangular horn-rimmed glasses

this was like 6 of them ffs

― sorry for british (country matters), Wednesday, 13 May 2009 22:20 (seventeen years ago)

It's because every time I use the phrase 'achingly beautiful' or misuse the word excoriating to mean loud I reward myself with a slice of cheese on toast.

― Doran, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 22:58 (seventeen years ago)

^^ iirc the singer out of this lot BLINDED a music writer in a racism beef

No it didn't. That writer's very much fully sighted so far as I know. There was an attack, but not that bad. And no assault case takes 15 years to go through court. It was probably taken down because you were libelling the band if you said they blinded someone.

― ithappens, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 12:20 (seventeen years ago)

anyway i hear the singer died of a drug overdose nine years ago

― like i read your blog (braveclub), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 12:25 (seventeen years ago)

ta for the clarifications re the manic post gig/blaggers bust up thing.
as has been said, i too didn't think anyone was blinded (and never said that on guardian - just that someone got thumped), and couldn't understand how on earth it was still rattling on in the courts.
