Ha! Yes!
Even lousy positive writing about a band no one has ever heard is better
than no words at all. With my limited music budget I have to find
reliable outside sources beyond the inevitable hyperbolic bio and press
release the band puts on their myspace page to help me make good
choices.
I look forward to reading one more "review" that starts with "I'm not
sure how I got on this band/artist/label mailing list but I sure am
grateful because this is great" because I know I'm getting a well
written piece.
