my favourite comment left on Collapse Board
I’ve got a bunch of marking to do, and I’m manfully trying to avoid it. (Shrugs.) Only another two hours to go.
“Apparently I now speak for the historical Everett True and Jerry speaks for the knee-jerk Everett True. TRUE vs. TRUE: They’re Both Still True”
– mmc on subtle use of statistics and juxtaposition to show why Arcade Fire sucks

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music.
The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena.
I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
