This means that occasionally I will stumble upon an artist that would otherwise have passed me by. I love the fact that you have such an eclectic case and you like what you like and don't care what anyone else thinks !<br /><br />Keep up the great work and have a relaxing Christmas.<br /><br />DJ SlippersDJ Slippersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010923635709588318.post-50103157044517589802011-12-23T13:59:04.943+00:002011-12-23T13:59:04.943+00:00The attitudes of some is alamingly conformist.

They've forgotten that other peoples are just as valid.<br /><br />I told someone (who incidentally doesn't read the guardian) the other day that I didn't like the new PJ Harvey record and was told "but it one of the most critically acclaimed records of the year, how can you not like it?"<br /><br />That saddened me a lot.Scrystnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010923635709588318.post-80205527884302019542011-12-23T13:20:58.776+00:002011-12-23T13:20:58.776+00:00"there's no right or wrong and those who ..."there's no right or wrong and those who are congratulated for having excellent taste are normally only congratulated by those with similar tastes"<br /><br />that's it. you've got it there. I see this a lot with music - people can't seem to accept that other people who have different tastes can also be right. music is a personal thing and its very easy for people to become snobs and look down on those who have different tastes to their own. this happens in all genres - rock, indie, hip hop, pop <br /><br />i first came across your blog through your posts about rizzle kicks and since reading it (regularly) have come across lots of acts i've never heard of - some great (in my taste) some terrible (in my taste) but i've always found it very entertaining and thought provoking to read and like the mix of mainstream and more alternative acts. i like the way you put interesting arguments and alternative points of view in some of your pieces.<br /><br />never commented before and not sure if you will read this till after christmas but just wanted to say keep up the good work.<br /><br />happy christmas from me<br /><br />richard murray, edinburghAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
