yet another reason to leave drum'n'bass firmly in the '90s where it belongs

I sure can't think of any other genres which follow the same problematic form.

what about the argument over whether or not you can put the X in HXC if it isn't specifically straight-edge hardcore
(which i'd argue is more 90's belonging - i mean psh whatev i still buy new d+b and mix it in)

@Mordy Less important to the artist in my experience is whether you liked it or not, and whether you wrote 'well' about it. If you're proud of the writing you should post it.
Kit and bass guitar fwiw

That has not been my experience. Artists can be very temperamental!

To the original question. I don't think writers should write about people they know well. It's a conflict of interest. I have done it myself, but declared the conflict of interest to the commissioning editor, who didn't care. I think, unless your friend only ever makes impeccable music, it's impossible to be completely honest.
