Song of the day – 661: Girl Trouble
This could be Screamin’ Jay lost without a Cajun swamp to hide in. This could be The Cramps if they hadna’ visited The Fall and weirded out. This could be any number of spotty-faced, speed-snorting English/Raw Cuts garage grunge bands if they weren’t so piss-weak poor. This could be your brother creeping up the darkened hallway behind you with a carving knife in his hand. But it isn’t. This is Girl Trouble and they are mean. WIG OUT!
(Melody Maker, 1989)

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.
