While it's possible to cherry-pick exceptions ever since, Frere-Jones does so selectively, overlooking the likes of Royal Trux or the Afghan Whigs in the 1990s,
why do I suspect that if this line had come from the SFJ article he'd presently be getting raked both ways over the coals for citing Royal Trux as counterexample to the "does not swing" trend

i like to imagine an alternative reality where momus is a middle manager working for some accountancy firm in dumfries, boring his teenage kids with stories of how he used to be in a post punk group 25 years ago. shopping for slacks in next, drinking real ale after work, taking his daughter to an artic monkeys concert, shagging his boring wife twice a week (missionary position in the dark).

Liverpool are absolutely terrible. Countdown to Benitez being sacked has begun. End of season most likely but surely nobody has anything to say in their defence now. They're never going to be consistent and they're not going to win the Premiership under Benitez.

Little-known fact: I once wrote a review of an obscure album for Stylus, six months after it came out, and sent it to Nick. The very next day, a review of that album appeared on the site, written by a regular. I maintain mine was better. Nick's main problem seemed to be my use of the word 'ejaculated' in the first sentence.

Your advice for writing about fiction is sound. I think I might employ it myself. Can't you just stick to being a physicist, you boring, victimising cunt? I know it sounds snobbish and crass, but you've got on my wick once too often, actually going out of your way to dig one in when if you actually stopped to think about it for a fucking second, you'd realise that I am just a twenty year-old student, whose writing-style is nowhere near complete refinement, and whose actual essays you have never even seen. I must be doing something right, given that most of my tutors think me capable of a first. The way you above everyone else on ILX leap to judge me, based on your (unrelated) experiences with students at a different university, continues to amaze me. As long as you address me in this snide and small-minded manner, I will keep refuting your baseless attacks.

dom deliberately used american usage for 'public school' to avoid confusion um only a lot of americans know we give 'em different names.
also cos private and public schools in the uk are subtly different but both "private".
