blog The Asshole Reviewer?

I'm surprised. I've been checking through the reviews and there isn't one nasty comment. Everyone seems to love everybody else's music. I am not a tastemaker like the guys at Pitchfork, so I'd appreciate it if someone would go out on a limb and help me sort out who's great listening and who isn't. I think Fuzz needs a designated "asshole" to go and make the tough reviews. I mean every great rating system needs the "asshole" to go out there and say what everyone else wants to say, but can't. There have been a few songs that make me want to go jump out a window and eat children-yeah, that bad. I'm not advocating for people to be outright irrational, but a little blood needs to be spilled. It's a tough choice, I guess. Artists and fans come out here to take part in a movement, therefore, we don't want to kill the mood. However, there is a real possibility that the site gets swamped with really really crappy music. Thoughts?

Jay Leno and Simon seem to have what it takes...

I never actually thought or reviewing BAD stuff. I just don't review it if I don't like it. But I see what you are saying.

Fairpoint. Maybe you should be the designated "a..hole" if it is constuctive. Not every artist or song is good.

I usually criticize everyhting, like i did today at fuzz...but i usually dont review bands that i think suck, because first of all...if they suck, i dont believe that they deserve a review from me, and second of all...because deep down inside there is a part of me that actually cares about people
