Title: Embrace the Mediocrity
Product review: The aural equivalent of sitting in a windowless room smelling your own farts. Thing is, after a while they're not so bad. I think Smog & Mr Callahan's stuff is kind of indicative of what's going on in general now-a-days, which is a mass of banal and average art being published by the truckload because people will buy it. Admittedly it is true: after listening to some of these they grow on you, but is that opening up to the music or a starving man thinking a saltine cracker is the best thing he's ever tasted? And "people who don't listen to smog should" definitely *not* "just shut up.", as this site is about helping those unfamiliar with a band spend their hard earned cash wisely. What does it matter what you write about music anyway? So to that end maybe we should all just shut the F up and let the play button speak for itself to the individual listener.
