Though the following exhibit came out in 2013, I maintain that it is the worst piece of music writing ever committed to pixels:

When I was standing in line to validate a parking ticket after American Hustle, “Pretty Hurts” was stuck in my head, and I couldn’t get it out, even after sitting in a theater honed in on another piece of media for nearly three hours. Those are the moments that matter, and they never happen immediately. That’s how I was proven wrong.

I've liked a lot of Everett True's writing through the years, not such a fan now he's dismissing music on the grounds of being made by a "beardy ginge". It's almost enough to make me try listening to Ed Sheeran.

Not enough comparing of aquariums to blue construction paper or mentions of the interiors of geodes for my liking. Ed Sheeran is shit, though, so there is that.

This review of the new Harriet Tubman album is kind of amazing...if you want to read the author's (actually pretty positive) thoughts about the music, you have to skip to paragraph 14. He had some stuff he wanted to get off his chest first, though.

Now, what does all of the above have to do with Araminta by the band Harriet Tubman? The given name of Harriet Tubman the woman was Araminta Ross, hence the name of the album. Politically, the message is hardly controversial in that they are preaching to the converted.
Musically, however, the story is entirely different

Trump, Brexit, Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders represent some of the voices and actions that are saying "No more! We are defending our culture!" This self-evident attitude is considered so horrifically shocking and immoral that college students have to retreat to their "safe spaces" so as not to be infected by "white privilege."

I don't mind reviews where people go off on little odysseys, that good person who did the Thelonious Monk review for P4k did it well recently. But this cunt needs to be taken around the back and put out of his misery.

I strongly suggest checking out Budd's personal page.

You are on the official website of Budd Kopman. I am a regular reviewer at AllAboutJazz who gets a kick out of being able to combine my love for jazz with computer programming.

the 'musings' section makes me think of an ilx thread with those three posts, then "11 years pass", then dozens of paragraphs ranting about sjws
is he a professional reviewer or is AllAboutJazz a website where anyone can set up an account and start posting stuff?
