in a dinosaur park of vinyl and quicksilver, talking: music is the one area of gratification i can't be pretentious about... if i have a critique of a music, my critique rests upon the words: i just don't listen to it.
i how people hate phil collins - i love their dogmatic abhorrance of him - oh believe, i'm not a major fan: i'm a major fan of people who are pretentious enough to despise decent pop music - and given it's pop: well, its either cotton candy - or ******* in terms of having no anti-bodies to combat the viral infection of immediate likeability - it just comes with the music... no, i'm not a major phil collins fan, i'm a major fan of the people who despise him out of "principle" that leads them to the music circus of obscurity and indie-wingy; but i dare say... what did peter gabriel after leaving genesis? exactly what phil collins did to *genesis: he made it accessible... and when did jazz mingle with prog rock? well... miles davis' ******* brew... never mind... fair enough, hate phil collins... i love it! but the album no jacket required is a stunner, as an album, not for any particular song... but lets face it... all the people who hate this take on pop... can you imagine them reading the most difficult (that's being nice, it's actually just ****** tedious) book ever written, i.e. thomas mann's doctor faustus? i don't think so... that **** is harder to read than kant! and i'm giving you a bet with that: if you can finish that **** thing you'll rescue von kleist from the suicide pact he made with a terminally ill woman and the despair of reading kant's critique: that's a bet! no, whenever i hear the monkish critique of phil collins... i think of listening to early genesis, notably the album foxtrot... now i'd love to see these critics listen to that album, from beginning to the end... by current standards (namely albums, roughly going beyond the threshold of sales, i.e. the 30 minute mark) one song off foxtrot could be a classified as a e.p. in its own right - supper's ready - 2 seconds short of 23minutes; in all honesty, they don't have the ***** to listen to that track... i'd love to seem them try... the minute they listen to it... phil collins will seem like an ice-cream, a quickie of receiving selfish oral ***... trust me... oh no, i'm not a major phil collins fan, just came across his out of nostalgia... but peter gabriel wasn't exactly an angel when it came to his solo career... then again: that song selling england by the pound: now that's ******* prophetic these days... who owns all the newly constructed flats in london? foreign investors: chinese, arab, nigerian; you name it!
