Agreed re Twitter request.

Aerosmith OTM here. I was going to say, DJP, nobody is saying that criticism doesn't often reduce to a good/bad verdict, what they (and I) say is that it doesn't have to be that way, and there are numerous field where in fact the good/bad duality is almost non-existent.

whenever someone claims a "reduction" or that X "reduces" to Y, I'm suspicious & recommend the same.

I can attest that writing reviews is more fun than student discussions in lit theory courses.

I feel it's fair to remind the thread here that Euler "does" philosophy and is required by the terms of his contract to suspect all claims of reduction

I studied computer science; reduction is the foundation of everything.

that seems a rather reductive claim to me - Euler, back me up here

six months from now: whiney instates a new "full issue reviews only" policy
― this is funny u bitter dork (forksclovetofu), Friday, 13 January 2012 21:30 (fourteen years ago)
yeah but will more people buy Spin because of it? Or is it all about online clicks now?
― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Friday, 13 January 2012 21:36 (fourteen years ago)
maybe whiney could attest otherwise but i think most magazines are trying to think about how to survive beyond the quickly ending 'paper circulation era' and these changes are all about that
― Jean-Luc Gohard (some dude), Friday, 13 January 2012 21:39 (fourteen years ago)
like maybe they'd like to keep readership of the physical magazine from dropping more quickly to make the transition easier and more gradual, but nobody can possibly expect the number of sales/subscribers to ever go up again
― Jean-Luc Gohard (some dude), Friday, 13 January 2012 21:40 (fourteen years ago)
I will always prefer print mags myself but if everyone does go online eventually I really hope it's not in a half-arsed way like nme.com. Mags like Spin,Rolling Stone,NME etc have a fantastic archive of old reviews and articles that I all hope end up online, and if they do that along with the same amount of reviews Pitchfork puts up each day, then they could have the best sites on the internet. No doubt if that were to happen they would want some silly amount of subscription money though :(
― Jimmy Riddle Orchestra (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Friday, 13 January 2012 21:46 (fourteen years ago)
isn't the full Spin archive on Google Books? or was that only for a minute
