The Continued Outbursts of Everett True

THIS WEEK: Everett reviews the singles

I lectured at BIMM (Brighton Institute of Modern Music) last Friday. After the usual questions as to how much of Hole’s third album did Billy Corgan write, and how did I get started in the music ‘business’ (I liked to dance at shows: that was it), a fellow came up to me at the end—vaguely emo-looking, you know he suffers for his art—and said, “So I’m guessing your magazine isn’t full of writers that just copy press releases word for word. That makes a change. Congratulations.” It was a surly back-hander of a compliment, but I knew he meant well…and so by way of appreciation for his appreciation, I decided I’d write some Record Reviews.
