LIKE JAZZ OR GRIME! LIKE JAZZ OR GRIME!
I like the Art Brut songs I've heard, and not for some sort of theoretical/rhetorical reason, either. But when Anthony Miccio is this convincing about their suckitude, it does give me pause.

I'm a fan of both the jazz and the grime. And damnit, art brut has some damn catchy songs. But I probably only think that because I suck at life. Listen to that other guy instead.

Miccio also, as much as I love him, comes from the hyperbolic school of music writing.

that's not the same writer is it? because that guy's hilarious. and I pretty much agree with him on everything. whereas talking shit about art brut is just gonna piss me off.

Nope, but I think Dr. Thorpe and Miccio have some commonalities.
