REVIEWED IN WORDS: Cat Power – Sun (Matador)

by Everett True

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.

That bad, huh?

Who is feverishly writing the Amanda Palmer/Kickstarter piece?
Scott Creney September 15, 2012 at 1:23 am

Steve Albini pretty much covered it.

Chester,

Loads of places already have. Like this:

Although it would be interesting to see a few of the CB writer’s take on the whole debacle, particular Stomper, Golightly, and Creney. Go on Scott, you know you want to!

Chig, I’d read about it everywhere, but I was particularly keen to see how CB approached it. Oh, what do you know, they’re taking the ethically contrary standpoint, and arguing that it’s, like, totally Punk Rock!
Chester Whelks September 18, 2012 at 7:39 pm

Oh, wait a sec, I take it back – They’re covering every angle to capitalise on this flashpoint and maximise readership.

I’m staying over here, and ranting to myself because the debate is being muddied by too many conflicting opinions, which are just going to render the talkback on each piece scant and vapid.

From what I’ve read so far, no one has mentioned that she isn’t asking fans/musicians to volunteer on every date of the tour, just in those Cities in which she doesn’t have friends to play, and when she does hit the cities in which she has acquaintancies that can play, she is paying them.

I might be back in a minute to say that someone has mentioned it though, if I can be bothered to plough through all this. If I were you, I’d just go and read the responses to Amy’s letter, or Amanda’s reply. Disillusioned fans make the best points, and there are a lot of them. Its not a good time to be asking for handouts from those less fortunate than yourself.

I just think that Kickstarter should, you know, Kickstart things not bankroll them. Or be used to pay off debts.

Yeah, quite fun to see all the arguments unfold – seems like it’s Lucy Cage & Everett against everybody else. Some good points being made by all sides tho, very interesting discussion.

What i want to know is where the fuck are Creney and Wallace? Come on boys, your never normally shy to get stuck into a good debate!
