| Introduction | I've been playing music for more than 20 years with only a brief glimmer of success for about six months. Will this infect my reviews with self-righteousness or sour grapes? You bet. Ratings are 0 - 4. You can decide for yourself what each rating means. You can pretty much tell from these reviews what kind of music I like/play. I think culture in Western Civilisation is almost completely dead. View "American Idol". I'll write some about that, too - you know, the decline of art of all kinds in the face of repulsive cults of personality and public obsessions with those cretins "famous for being famous". Hence the name of this blog. If for some reason you want me to review your band send me A ONE-SHEET and a copy of your CD to Cultural Senescence 5508 Coventry Ln. Austin, TX 78723. If you have disagreements, a difference of opinion, a factual correction, etc. please leave a comment. Insulting or threatening comments will be deleted. Intelligent discourse in our society is already on the ropes. No need to send it to the mat here. Thanks to Kieron Dwyer for the use of his logo design. |
