OK, so this is personal and a slight departure from the otherwise fairly demagogic tone of this blog thus far, but Carter USM were amazing, and based on the gig I just went to, STILL amazing. It says a lot about the noughties that young people are massively, wallet-emptyingly excited about blur getting back together for some rubbish gigs and a new torrent of condescending glibness while Carter barely seem to merit a ripple in the national psyche.
I know I’m supposed to encourage end-user participation in order to solidify the blog’s brand with an active userbase in order to attract the right demographic for advertisers – but on this issue – if you want to disagree – you can fuck yourselves, userbase, right in your monetized engagement receptacle. Say what you like about me, but when you insult Carter USM you cross a line. That is all, proper bitchy copy tomorrow.
