Guardian Unlimited | Arts news | NME defends album of year poll
I know that it's a link, and that it should be here... but I want to talk about it a bit:
Go and read it, then come back:
Guardian Unlimited | Arts news | NME defends album of year poll.
Back now? Good.
This annoys me. Londonist broke this, and I read it. I like reading, you learn things about stuff
Then they... pulled it. I, uh, ah. It makes me very uncomfortable. What's worse is my crafty RSS feed has updated with:
"Regretfully, after a communication from the NME we have decided to remove this post.
This article from the Guardian hopefully explains our position.
Thanks
Rob Hinchcliffe - editor."
Not cool boys.
So I'm sat here struggling with why this makes me feel so sad.
Then it hits me. It's not about the censorship (of sorts). It's not about the stinking lying and cheating that rigs our music charts (that we all know about anyway).
It's about the good writing which has suddenly disappeared. Makes me sad. And mad. And stuff.
Anyway, enough of that. Have I told you guys recently that I love you? Well I do, and that's nice. Every single one of you, except that weirdo over there with a cherry on top. And I don't like Oranges today either, although they'd be perfectly suitable on a normal day.
See what crazy world I live in where the NME is bad? Stop this now! STOP THE EVIL!
