I have a short little thing to say about AMG. The All Music Guide. I guess its not much of a rant. But I guess it qualifies.
AMG used to be cool, man. I used to agree with alot of the reviews and be all happy with them and stuff. They still have good networking and reference I guess. But they have changed! I think assholes have infiltrated their ranks, and added their little mainstream opinions to everything. Ratings have been changed, and now crap is getting praised to the stars and gold is being thrown to the wolves. This is my opinion of course. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm not. Should I care about little stars? No. But it is the principle! It is the commodification of music! Bad music is spreading and conquering! And the critics are reflecting this! You know, it is more a commodification of the entire framework. AMG is alot more popular now, I think, so they are going to want to reflect what the public wants, to enjoy a high user rating. You got to look to the underdogs to tell the truth. The truuuuuth!
Now, I have alot of pull around here. Don't be surprised if starting tomorrow at 5 sharp, AMG starts firing people left and right. People know me.
