Blur setlist?

Okay, wrong guy. I was confusing him with the Idlewild reviewer. You get the idea.

And Rhett, if they didn't care at all about music reviews, they wouldn't publish them in the first place. The point is letting the paper, who wants our business, know that they are assinging someone who is not doing his job responsibily. There are plenty of other good journalists out there who would love to have his job and the paper knows it. No, music doesn't compare to front page news but they also know that the readers want their entertainment too.

Do any of you really pay 35 cents to read the music reviews?

I've known plenty of people to buy a newspaper solely for the purpose of the entertainment section, for whatever reason. Sometimes it's to get movie or event listings. The point being is that the big wigs want a good paper from front to back, especially in this day and age when hard copy newpapers are having sales problems. They do have competition and some of it is free.

Other Segal highlights for the last year or two:

-Bashing Sigur Ros for singing in jiberish
-Bashing Godspeed You! Black Emperor for being too dull

This man should get a pulitzer.

And the thing is, he clearly likes rock bands, I remember positive reviews of the Hives and Elvis C, but anything that's challenging and he resorts to cheap shots.

I think you missed heard me, I said I want to be like Steven Seagal……. <img src="http://www.didi.ch/Film/Action/bilder/seagal2.jpg" alt=" - " />


I like challenging music, hey I challenge you to enjoy listening to Avril Lavigne.

The show ruled! Blur still kicks some serous ass! New album is great too eventhough I still miss good old brit-pop touch.
How about the opening band? Did anyone get a kick out of their performance? I certainly did! Lotsa energy and their drummer is DA MAN!
As for the WP review, who cares what they say. Who reads their crap anyway :)

Saw the Philly show last night…absolutely brilliant. One of the very best shows I've seen this year. The audience was fantastic, and the whole band were in great spirits. Plus, we were treated to an outstanding setlist. If DC was HALF as good, Segal should shoot himself in the forehead.

I think the consensus seems to be that he didn't have a clue what he was talking about. I mean c'mon a review about lighting? At a rave maybe but that just smacks of laziness.

Hey, we use that word a little more carefully in here.

Hey, if Segal smacked of Smackie, I don't think any of us would complain.

i saw the philly show last night, too. i also saw the d.c. show and i think the d.c. show was better. although the philly show was amazing and i got to hear "sweet song." i hope blur comes back soon.
